Biopesticide compositions, and methods and kits for their preparation from lignin are disclosed. A biopesticide may include a modified lignin chelated with one or more pesticides, the one or more pesticides having at least one acidic pesticide. The modified lignin may have one or more functional groups. Methods of producing a biopesticide may include obtaining a lignin, contacting the lignin with one or more bacteria under conditions suitable for producing a modified lignin, and chelating the modified lignin with one or more pesticides, the one or more pesticides having at least one acidic pesticide.

A first aspect of the invention is an agricultural composition comprising nanoparticles, an agrochemical active ingredient in the nanoparticles, and optionally (but in some embodiments preferably) a carrier for the nanoparticles. In some embodiments, the nanoparticles are viral particles or capsids, particularly plant viral particles or capsids. In some embodiments, the carrier comprises an inert or biodegradable carrier (e.g., a solid carrier) to which the nanoparticles are bound or in which the nanoparticles are suspended. In some embodiments, the carrier comprises inert or biodegradable polymer fibers.
