      abstract     = {Intensive fertilization has been required to provide
                      nutrients for plant growth under the current agricultural
                      practices being applied to meet the global food demands.
                      Micronutrients such as zinc, manganese, and copper are
                      required in small quantities when compared to macronutrients
                      (such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), but they are
                      essential for the plant growth cycle and consequently for
                      increasing productivity. Mineral oxides such as ZnO, MnO,
                      and CuO are used in agriculture as micronutrient sources,
                      but their low solubility limits practical applications in
                      plant nutrition. Similarly, elemental sulfur (S0) can
                      provide a high-concentration source of sulfate, but its
                      availability is limited by the ability of the soil to
                      promote S0 oxidation. We propose here the integration of
                      these nutrients in a composite based on a biodegradable
                      starch matrix containing mineral oxides and S0 in a
                      dispersion that allowed encapsulation of the acidifying
                      agent Aspergillus niger, a native soil fungus. This strategy
                      effectively improved the final nutrient solubility, with the
                      composite starch/S0/oxidemixture multi-nutrient fertilizer
                      showing remarkable results for solubilization of the oxides,
                      hence confirming a synergic effect of S0 oxidation and
                      microbial solubilization. This composite exhibited an
                      extended shelf life and soil–plant experiments with
                      Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) confirmed high
                      efficiencies for dry matter production, nutrient uptake, and
                      recovery. These findings can contribute to the development
                      of environmentally friendly fertilizers towards a more
                      sustainable agriculture and could open up new applications
                      for formulations containing poorly soluble oxide sources.},
