Controlled Magnesium Release and Nutritional Effect of a Novel Metalโ€“Organic Framework on Plants Fertilizer application is a necessary action in modern agriculture to meet the global food demand. Modern agriculture must enhance crop production while minimizing the amounts of used fertilizers to ensure environmental safety without compromising their effectiveness. One promising approach to achieve this ambitious goal is using controlled-release fertilizers, which provide an effective amount of active ingredients prolonged over time while reducing the losses caused by leaching into the soil. In this work, a novel metalโ€“organic framework (MOF) [Mg2(C3H7O5P)2(H2O)4]ยทH2O, named GR-MOF-27, based on the antibacterial agent fosfomycin (FMC) and magnesium is reported. First, its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and then its stability in aqueous media was studied. The results showed a prolonged two-step release of Mg2+ ions (release rates of 26% in 4 h and 63% in 7 d), which fits to pseudo-first-order kinetic (first 4 h) and pseudo-second-order (from 4 h to 7 d) release models. Since the metal precursor (magnesium sulfate) is normally used as a fertilizer, the nutritional effects of GR-MOF-27 and MgSO4 were evaluated and compared, obtaining the result that GR-MOF-27 improves plant growth by increasing shoot, root, and dried weight by 10.5, 11.0, and 13.1%, respectively. Additionally, plants treated with GR-MOF-27 showed an increase in the uptake of important macronutrients, such as 64.9% of Mg and 57.4% of P, demonstrating the benefits of using MOFs as slow-release fertilizers.

A fantastic work driven by Samuel and Lourdes on the search of novel active structures. This time a Mg-based MOF as fertilizer agent, improving the activity of actually used agrochemicals
