Article Synopsis
- A plasmonic tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG)-based sensor was developed for detecting calcium ions (Ca) using a specialized hydrogel material made from cellulose nanocrystals and polyvinyl alcohol, enhanced with sodium alginate.
- The hydrogel composite was coated onto a gold-coated TFBG, improving the sensor’s ability to detect small changes in refractive index due to varying Ca concentrations.
- The sensor achieved a remarkable limit of detection of about 0.025 fM, making it significantly more sensitive than existing calcium sensors, with an effective detection range spanning from 10 M to 10 M.
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is the main fungal disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in China. Numerous fungicide applications are required for control. Dimethachlon, one of the dicarboximide fungicides, has been the major fungicide for disease control after benzimidazole resistance became widespread.
