Knowledge of dissolution, aggregation, and stability of nanoagrochemicals in root exudates (RE) and soil leachate will contribute to improving delivery mechanisms, transport in plants, and bioavailability. We characterized aggregation, stability, and dissolution of four nanoparticles (NPs) in soybean RE and soil leachate: nano-CeO2, nano-Mn3O4, nano-Cu(OH)(2), and nano-MoO3. Aggregation differed considerably in different media. In RE, nano-Cu(OH)(2), and nano-MoO3 increased their aggregate size for 5 days; their mean sizes increased from 518 +/- 43 nm to 938 +/- 32 nm, and from 372 +/- 14 nm to 690 +/- 65 nm, respectively. Conversely, nano-CeO2 and nano-Mn3O4 disaggregated in RE with time, decreasing from 289 +/- 5 nm to 129 +/- 10 nm, and from 761 +/- 58 nm to 143 +/- 18 nm, respectively. Organic acids in RE and soil leachate can be adsorbed onto particle surfaces, influencing aggregation. Charge of the four NPs was negative in contact with RE and soil leachate, due to organic matter present in RE and soil leachate. Dissolution in RE after 6 days was 38%, 1.2%, 0.5%, and
