“…Nanomaterials provide promising alternatives to modern agriculture, thus the application of nanomaterial-based agrochemicals (nano-fertilizers, and nano-pesticides) instead of the conventional ones paves the way for improving crop productivity sustainably [1][2][3]. In this context, synthesizing metaloxide nanostructures attracted much attention due to their fascinating novel properties, which can apply in different elds; engineering, industry, medicine, and agriculture [4,5].…”

Nanotechnology provides innovative agrochemicals for improving crop production and quality by fabricating nanomaterial-based agrochemicals (i.e. nano-pesticides). The application of nano-pesticides in modern agriculture offers efficient programs for pest management. Herein, Copper oxide with flower-like structure (CuO-FLS) and rod-like structure (CuO-RLS) were synthesized via simple wet chemical methods and applied against Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera Frugiperda). The physicochemical properties of the synthesized CuO have a role in their insecticidal activity. The insecticidal activity for both is comparable without signifying differences between mortalities. CuO-FLS has a higher insecticidal effect (LC50 = 118.68 ppm) than CuO-RLS (LC50 = 134.95ppm).

The extensive utilization of boric acid, particularly in industrial and agricultural sectors, also engenders concerns regarding the toxicity of boron and its derivatives. Particularly, the behavior of boric acid at increasing concentrations in aquatic ecosystems remains poorly understood. In light of these concerns, this study aimed to investigate the toxicity of boric acid in bivalves, which occupy a critical position in the food chain. Specimens of Ruditapes decussatus, which had not been previously exposed to any pollutants and were cultivated under controlled conditions, were subjected to three different concentrations of boric acid (0.05 mg/L, 0.5 mg/L, and 5 mg/L) in vitro for 96 h. Following the exposure period, the specimens were assessed for histological changes (the mantle, gill, and digestive gland) and specific oxidative parameters (the gill and digestive gland), including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase, and lipid peroxidation (LPO). The research findings indicated that boric acid primarily induced oxidative damage at the applied concentrations and increased antioxidant levels (p < 0.05). Moreover, although no significant histopathological abnormalities were observed in the examined histological sections, subtle changes were noted. This study evaluated the potential adverse effects of boric acid on bivalves, which are crucial components of the aquatic food chain, utilizing histological and specific physiological parameters following its introduction into aquatic environments. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will contribute to the development of new insights and perspectives regarding the extensive use of boric acid.
