Analysis of the impact of a biostimulant developed with carbon‐dot and Brazil's dependence on foreign technologies

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Fertilizers developed using carbon quantum dot nanotechnology may mitigate Brazil's technological dependence, directly influencing the future of global food production. Technological prospecting in the field of C‐dot‐based fertilizers revealed a global scarcity of such technologies, indicating high development potential. Although 10,000 patent

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...
