Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Silicon, as a nutrient, has been widely studied for its role as a nano‐fertilizer and in other innovative agricultural applications. The increasing use of silica nanoparticles (Si‐NPs) in advanced research across multiple disciplines highlights their broad usefulness in various scientific and technological fields.

Nitrogen inputs promote surface acidification (↓pH) and increased Al3+ activity, while lime or silicate amendments modify base cation dynamics. Increased DOC–Al complexation reduces free Al3+ and alters

Efficacy of Putative Botanical Fumigants and Fungicides Against Soil‐Borne Fungal Pathogens in Wheat
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT The negative effects of pesticides for humans and environment have encouraged research into natural control means to protect crops from biotic stresses. This study evaluated the antifungal activity and phytotoxicity of seven natural putative inhibitory products (PIPs), as well their persistence, under both in vitro and in vivo conditions.

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 176-189, March 2026.ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.

Degradation of Dyes by Fungi: A Bibliometric Study and Bibliographic Review
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT The degradation of dyes from textile effluents is considered a major challenge due to their high potential for environmental contamination and health risks due to their toxicity. In this sense, the use of fungi for the degradation of these compounds is reported in the literature as an ecological alternative with great potential.

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.
