The feasibility of sugarcane bagasse to be employed as an alternative solid support for clean-up is presented during the development and validation of an analytical method to determine chlorpyrifos (O,O-diethyl O-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate) (CP) in tomato by HPLC-DAD. The efficiency of the method consisting of ultrasonic assisted extraction with acetonitrile and dispersion with salts, followed by dispersive phase extraction with powdered sugarcane bagasse is presented for three spiking levels relating to the established CP maximum residue limit (MRL) for industrial tomato in Brazil, 0.5 mg kg (½ MRL, MRL and 2 MRL). Satisfactory results were obtained in terms of trueness (recovery range: 76.5-120.1%), intermediate precision (1.0-5.2%) and repeatability (4.7-12.8%), expressed as relative standard deviation. The proposed method has a limit of quantification of 0.25 mg kg and could be deployed as cost effective routine analysis to monitor CP in tomato samples in processed food industries.

Plant extracts and bacterial biofilm are acknowledged to offer impressive corrosion-inhibitory activities. However, anticorrosive properties of their combination are still less reported. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of Saccharum officinarum bagasse (SOB) plant extract, Pseudomonas chlororaphis (P.

The challenges of pollution and agro-industrial waste management have led to the development of bioconversion techniques to transform these wastes into valuable products. This has increased the focus on the sustainable and cost-efficient production of biosurfactants from agro-industrial waste. Hence, the present study investigates the production of sophorolipid biosurfactants using the yeast strain IIPL32 under submerged fermentation, employing sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate-a renewable, low-cost agro-industrial waste as the feedstock.

Soil compaction is a pressing issue in agriculture that significantly hinders plant growth and soil health, necessitating effective strategies for mitigation. This study examined the effects of sugarcane bagasse, both in its raw form and as biochar, along with biological activators (Bacillus simplex UTT1 and Phanerochaete chrysosporium) on soil characteristics and corn (Zea mays L.) plant biomass in a compacted soil.

Soil contamination with cadmium (Cd) and salinity poses a significant challenge, affecting crop health and productivity. This study explores the combined application of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) to mitigate the toxic effects of Cd and salinity in wheat plants. Field experiments conducted in Cd-contaminated saline soils revealed that the application of SCB (0, 5, and 10 t ha) and ZnO NPs (0, 12.
