Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of pesticides, and more particularly to an environmentally friendly, high-efficiency, low-residue pesticide composition for field use. The active ingredients of the composition are chlorantraniliprole and patchouli ketone, wherein the mass ratio of chlorantraniliprole to patchouli ketone is 1-30:10-1. When chlorantraniliprole and patchouli ketone are compounded in the pesticide composition, they exhibit a synergistic effect within a certain mass ratio range, thereby improving the control effect. This synergistic effect can reduce the application dosage of chemical agents, thereby avoiding, to a certain extent, the problems of pesticide residues and environmental pollution caused by high-dose application.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pesticides, and in particular to a high-efficiency, low-residue, and environment-friendly field pesticide composition. Background Art

[0002] The fall armyworm (Spodoptera litura Fabricius), belonging to the Noctuidae family of the order Lepidoptera, is also known as the lotus-patterned moth, commonly known as the night thief, and the aconite. It is a omnivorous, voracious pest with a worldwide distribution. Reportedly, the fall armyworm can harm 389 species of host plants belonging to 109 families. The fall armyworm's larvae injure the affected leaves. Young larvae feed on the mesophyll, leaving only a thin, window-like epidermis. Older larvae eat the leaves, leaving notches. In severe cases, the entire leaf is devoured, leaving only the main veins, causing severe losses to agricultural production. Currently, chemical control is the primary method for controlling fall armyworm. In actual production, the use of a single pesticide can easily lead to pest resistance, resulting in reduced control effectiveness. Increasing the dosage of the pesticide can lead to a series of problems, including pesticide residues and environmental pollution.

[0003] Patchouli ketone is a compound obtained by separation and purification from patchouli essential oil with insecticidal activity. It is a colorless needle-shaped crystal with a molecular formula of C 12 H 16 O4, molecular weight is 224.257, and its structural formula is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] "Insecticidal Effect of Patchouli Essential Oil and Analysis of Its Active Ingredients (Zeng Qingqian et al., Journal of Plant Resources and Environment, 2006, 15(3): 21-25)" discloses that patchouli essential oil and patchouli ketone have a good control effect on the larvae of Pieris rapae and Plutella xylostella. Feeding experiments were conducted on Pieris rapae and Plutella xylostella larvae using 2.5-40 mg / mL patchouli essential oil and 1-10 mg / mL patchouli ketone, respectively, and both showed a strong antifeedant effect; the LC values of patchouli essential oil and patchouli ketone on the 4th instar Pieris rapae larvae were 0. 50 The values were 104.28 μg / mL and 32.20 μg / mL, respectively.

[0006] "Bioactivity of Patchouli Ketone against Spodoptera litura and Effects on Detoxification Enzymes (Zhang Jiahui et al., South China Agricultural University, Master's thesis, June 1, 2016)" discloses that patchouli ketone has stomach poison, contact toxicity, antifeedant and growth inhibitory effects on Spodoptera litura larvae, and has the prospect of being developed into an insecticide. It is also speculated that carboxylesterase may be an important site of action of patchouli ketone against Spodoptera litura.

[0007] "Chemical Synthesis of Patchouli Ketone and Its Insecticidal Activity Against Lepidoptera Pests (Huang Sihan et al., Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Master's Thesis, April 1, 2014)" discloses that patchouli ketone has a strong antifeedant effect on Spodoptera litura and Spodoptera exigua, and has good toxicity against the two pests, among which the stomach toxicity activity against Spodoptera litura and Spodoptera exigua is LC 0. 50 The contact LC values were 986.88 mg / L and 545.61 mg / L respectively. 50 They are 1041.42 mg / L and 519.48 mg / L.

[0008] Combining ingredients from different pesticides is a common method for developing new pesticides. In most cases, these combinations have an additive effect, with few combinations exhibiting true synergistic effects. Through extensive laboratory experiments, the inventors discovered that combining metaflumizone, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate, or chlorfenapyr with patchouli ketone exhibits a synergistic effect against Spodoptera litura.

[0009] So far, there are no reports on the combination of metaflumizone, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate or chlorantraniliprole with patchouli ketone. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency, low-residue, environmentally friendly pesticide composition for field use, so as to solve the problem that the use of a single agent easily leads to pest resistance, resulting in reduced control efficiency; and the problem that increasing the dosage of the agent easily leads to a series of problems such as pesticide residues and environmental pollution.

[0011] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0012] A highly effective, low-residue, and environmentally friendly pesticide composition for field use, wherein the active ingredients are a combination of cyanamide, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate or chlorfenapyr, and patchouli.

[0013] The mass ratio of metaflumizone to patchouli ketone is 4-7:9-1;

[0014] The mass ratio of spinetoram to patchouli ketone is 1-40:3-1;

[0015] The mass ratio of emamectin benzoate to patchouli ketone is 1:20-8;

[0016] The mass ratio of chlorantraniliprole to patchouli ketone is 1-30:10-1.

[0017] Preferably, the mass ratio of emamectin benzoate to patchouli ketone is 1:10.

[0018] The present invention also provides a pesticide preparation, which is prepared from the field high-efficiency, low-residue and environmentally friendly pesticide composition and auxiliary components accepted in pesticide science.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When metaflumizone, spinetoram, emamectin benzoate or chlorfenapyr are compounded with patchouli ketone in the pesticide composition of the present invention, a synergistic effect is exhibited within a certain mass ratio range, thereby improving the control effect on Spodoptera litura. Based on this, the application dosage of the chemical agent can be reduced, thereby avoiding, to a certain extent, the problems of pesticide residues and environmental pollution caused by high-dose application.
