In this study, novel VO-decorated garlic peel biochar (VO/GPB) nanocomposites are prepared via the facile hydrothermal technique. As-synthesized VO/GPB is characterized by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The surface morphology of the as-prepared samples was predicted by SEM analysis, which shows that the block-like VO was uniformly decorated on the stone-like GPB surface.

These two oxidation states are interconvertible by redox reactions and form complexes with a wide range of siderophores. At neutral pH in soil, Fe is highly soluble upto 100 mM but have less biological value, whereas Fe is less soluble upto 10 M.

- Plant viral diseases are a significant issue in agriculture, leading to major yield losses and current methods aren’t effective in eliminating these viruses from infected crops.
- There is a growing need for sustainable management strategies, particularly focusing on RNA viruses and ribonucleases as a promising solution.
- Beneficial microbes, including bacteria and fungi, play a vital role in managing viral infections in plants through various mechanisms like boosting plant defenses and producing protective compounds.
