Polymer-Based Agricultural Enhancements

Phosphorus-laden Mg/Fe Layered Double Hydroxide Dispersed on Douglas fir Biochar as a Controlled Release Fertilizer and its effect on the growth of bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris).

This study evaluates a phosphorus-loaded Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide on Douglas fir biochar as a controlled-release fertilizer, showing improved bush bean growth and nutrient uptake compared to conventional fertilizers.

Microneedle-based precision payload delivery in plants

The paper develops a polyvinyl alcohol microneedle system for precise delivery of small molecules to plants, showing higher efficiency and reduced chemical use compared to traditional methods.
