Ultrasound-assisted QuEChERS-based extraction using EDTA for determination of currently-used pesticides at trace levels in soil
Environmental Science and Pollution Research202610 influential citationsIt is essential to monitor pesticides in soils as their presence at trace levels and their bioavailability can induce adverse effects on soil's ecosystems, animals, and human health. In this study, we developed an analytical method for the…
RNA interference-based pesticides: Mechanism, application, and commercialization in sustainable pest management
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology20262 influential citationsConventional chemical pesticides remain critical for protecting crops from arthropod pests, but their overuse drives ecological harm, including environmental contamination, ecosystem disruption, food residue persistence, and widespread…
Multiplexed discrimination and ultrasensitive determination of pesticides using a Cu-O-Mo nanozyme tri-channel array driven by machine learning
Biosensors and Bioelectronics20261 influential citationsNanozyme-based multichannel sensors integrated with machine learning (ML) often operate as "black boxes," lacking interpretability between analytical outputs and underlying molecular mechanisms. To address this, we developed a…
Ecological risks and recent inputs of banned and current-use pesticides in surface water and sediment from Malawi's tobacco-growing region
Environmental Pollution20261 influential citationsPesticides play a key role in conventional agriculture and food security. However, their heavy use poses human and environmental risks. In this study, we employed the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) method,…
An electrochemical sensing strategy for organophosphorus pesticides based on dual-enzyme synergistic catalysis of plant esterase and diatomic FeCo–NC nanozyme
Food Chemistry20261 influential citationsThis study presents a novel electrochemical strategy for detecting organophosphorus pesticides based on the synergistic catalytic of red kidney bean esterase (RKBE) and iron-cobalt dual-atom catalyst embedded in N-doped carbon carrier…
RNAi‐Based Pesticides: Genetic Innovations for Sustainable Crop Protection and One Health
Advanced Genetics2026Conventional chemical pesticides have long protected global crop yields, but their environmental and health impacts, including contamination, biodiversity loss, residue accumulation, and pest resistance, demand sustainable alternatives.…
Engineered nano-pesticides: a multifaceted strategy for sustainable crop protection and enhanced food security in the era of climate change
Plant Signaling & Behavior2026To ensure global food security and sustainable agricultural productivity in the coming years, modern technology is essential. It can boost food production, increase resilience to agroclimatic disruptions, and maintain healthy…
Occurrence and environmental risk of pesticides in a hill-to-plain transitional river: Impacts of land use, seasonal dynamics, and sediment bacterial community
Journal of Hazardous Materials2026Pesticides are emerging pollutants that have attracted global concern due to their environmental risks. However, the presence of pesticides and their ecological impacts remain unclear, especially in rivers within hill-to-plain transitional…
Sustainable Hydrochars from Winery Waste for the Efficient Removal of Organophosphorus Pesticides and Synthetic Dye
International Journal of Molecular Sciences2026The removal of water pollutants, specifically the organophosphorus pesticides chlorpyrifos (CHP) and azinphos-methyl (AZM), as well as the dye Rhodamine B (RB), was investigated through the valorization of grape pomace, an abundant…
Machine learning for designing low-risk microbial consortia pesticides
Trends in Biotechnology2026Microbial consortia, considered low-risk pesticides (LRPs), appear to be valuable tools for reducing our dependence on chemical pesticides. However, their use is limited by inconsistent product efficacy and registration difficulties.…
