Advanced material modulation of nutritional and phytohormone status alleviates damage from soybean sudden death syndrome.

Customized Cu(PO) and CuO nanosheets and commercial CuO nanoparticles were investigated for micronutrient delivery and suppression of soybean sudden death syndrome. An ab initio thermodynamics approach modelled how material morphology and matrix effects control the nutrient release. Infection reduced the biomass and photosynthesis by 70.
