Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental protection and agricultural product quality and safety technology, specifically relating to a fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Cadmium (Cd) is widely recognized as one of the most toxic heavy metals posing a significant threat to humans due to its high mobility and toxicity. Rice is an important food crop, and cadmium accumulates in large quantities in its roots, stems, leaves, and grains, affecting not only rice yield and quality and the entire farmland ecosystem but also endangering human health through the food chain. To address cadmium (Cd) pollution in farmland soils, researchers have proposed various remediation measures to reduce cadmium accumulation in edible parts of crops. Among these, the use of foliar inhibitors to reduce or even block the migration of heavy metals to edible parts of crops has become an important technical means for the safe production of crops in moderately to mildly Cd-contaminated soils due to its advantages such as ease of operation, rapid absorption, low cost, and good heavy metal inhibition effect.
[0003] The mechanism of action of foliar cadmium (Cd) inhibitors is as follows: microelements such as zinc, silicon, and selenium can antagonize and chelate with Cd, competing with Cd for metal ion transport channels within the plant, thus reducing the absorption and transport of Cd by crops, or depositing Cd in plant cell walls and vacuoles, thereby reducing the translocation of Cd to edible parts of crops. However, compared with technologies such as soil passivation, the cadmium reduction efficiency of foliar inhibitors is still quite limited and needs further improvement. Multiple applications can increase the cadmium reduction efficiency of foliar inhibitors, but this increases the cost of application significantly. Developing integrated fertilizer-pesticide foliar inhibitors can achieve one-time application of pesticides and foliar inhibitors, reducing application costs. However, foliar inhibitors have complex compositions and are prone to reacting with pesticides, which not only reduces pesticide efficacy and leads to crop yield reduction, but also affects the dispersion of the active ingredients in the foliar inhibitor and the adhesion of the inhibitor to the leaves. Therefore, developing highly efficient integrated fertilizer-pesticide inhibitors to reduce cadmium absorption has become an urgent problem to be solved in agricultural production. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides a cadmium absorption inhibitor that integrates fertilizer and pesticide application, along with its preparation method and application. This cadmium absorption inhibitor not only prevents the reaction between the cadmium-blocking component and the pesticide, thus avoiding crop yield reduction, but also effectively combines the cadmium-blocking component and the pesticide, achieving two effects with a single application, thereby increasing users' willingness to use it.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption inhibitor includes an inhibitor and a pesticide, wherein the inhibitor comprises components at the following concentrations:
[0007] Nano-silica 0.1–0.4 wt%,
[0008] Surfactant 0.1–0.4 wt%,
[0009] The concentration of ZnSO4, calculated as Zn elemental, is 50–150 mg / L.
[0010] pH adjuster
[0011] The remainder is water;
[0012] The pH of the control agent is 6.0–7.0.
[0013] The final concentration of the pesticide is 2 wt.%.
[0014] Preferably, the pesticide is abamectin-indoxacarb.
[0015] Preferably, the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant or a mixture of a nonionic surfactant and anionic surfactant.
[0016] Preferably, the nonionic surfactant is Tween 80.
[0017] Preferably, in the mixture of nonionic surfactant and anionic surfactant, the mass ratio of the anionic surfactant to the nonionic surfactant is 4:1 to 2:1.
[0018] Preferably, the pH adjuster is NaOH or HCl.
[0019] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption inhibitor, comprising the following steps:
[0020] (1) The nano-silica, surfactant and ZnSO4 are uniformly mixed and the pH is adjusted to 6.0-7.0. Then, the mixture is ultrasonically treated to obtain the resistance control agent.
[0021] (2) Add pesticide to the control agent to the application concentration, and then treat it with ultrasound to obtain the product.
[0022] Preferably, the temperature of the ultrasonic treatment is 15-30°C, and the time of the ultrasonic treatment is 15-30 minutes.
[0023] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption control agent.
[0024] Preferably, the application is in the application of cadmium barrier in rice.
[0025] Nanoparticles combine small particle size with excellent biocompatibility, increasing the adhesion of spray solutions to plant leaves. By loading functional trace elements, nanoparticles can prevent the stress of trace element ions on crops caused by water evaporation and promote the migration of functional elements between the aqueous and solid phases. However, due to the low solubility of nanoparticles in water, they are prone to aggregation and deposition. Therefore, this invention employs anionic or nonionic surfactants to improve the dispersibility of nanoparticles in the solution system.
[0026] The addition of pesticides to the fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption control agent may change the original dispersion characteristics of the functional elements loaded on the nanoparticles. Therefore, based on the properties of the nanoparticles, functional trace elements and pesticides, this invention selects a suitable dispersion system to ensure the disease suppression and cadmium reduction efficiency of the fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption control agent.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0028] This invention prepares a uniformly dispersed fertilizer-pesticide integrated cadmium absorption inhibitor, which not only avoids the reaction between the cadmium inhibitor and the pesticide, thus preventing crop yield reduction, but also effectively combines the cadmium inhibitor and the pesticide, achieving two effects with a single application, increasing users' willingness to use it, and has good economic value.

[0089] Test case
[0090] (1) Characterization of dispersion state and stability test of foliar inhibitors for fertilizer-pesticide integration:
[0091] The particle size distribution of particles in a dispersion system can characterize its dispersion state to some extent. The particle size and dispersibility index (PDI) of the leaf barrier agent components in the solutions prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3, as well as Comparative Examples 4 and 5 (without pesticides), were measured using a nanoparticle size potentiometer to determine the effect of pesticide addition on the degree of particle dispersion in different dispersion systems. The measurement temperature was 20℃, and each sample was measured six times. The concentrations of each sample component are shown in Table 1.
[0092] Table 1. Comparison of Sample Component Concentrations
[0093]
[0094] The particle size distribution and PDI of different fertilizer-pesticide integrated foliar inhibitors are shown in Table 2.
[0095] Table 2. Particle size distribution of foliar inhibitors with different components that combine fertilizer and pesticide.
[0096]
[0097]
[0098] It can be seen that when the foliar inhibitor loaded with Zn using nHAP is supplemented with abamectin and indoxacarb, both the particle size and PDI increase significantly. However, in the treatment with anionic + nonionic surfactant as the dispersion system (Comparative Example 3), the solution particle size decreases significantly to 248.8±8.2 nm, and the solution PDI decreases significantly to 0.419±0.007. This shows that the foliar inhibitor loaded with Zn using nHAP and abamectin and indoxacarb have good dispersibility in the anionic + nonionic surfactant dispersion system. Therefore, this system can be used to formulate an nHAP-based fertilizer-pesticide integrated foliar inhibitor.
[0099] After adding abamectin and indoxacarb to the foliar inhibitor loaded with Zn using nSiO2, the particle size in the solution was significantly reduced, and the PDI of the solution also showed a downward trend. In the treatment with nonionic surfactant as the dispersion system (Example 2), the particle size of the solution was significantly reduced to 755.9±15.0 nm, and the PDI of the solution was significantly reduced to 0.650±0.004. It can be seen that the foliar inhibitor loaded with Zn using nSiO2 and abamectin and indoxacarb have good dispersibility in the nonionic surfactant dispersion system. Therefore, this system is used to formulate an integrated fertilizer and pesticide foliar inhibitor based on nSiO2.
[0100] (2) Field efficacy verification of foliar inhibitors that combine fertilizer and pesticide application:
[0101] The experiment was conducted from April to October 2023 at a cadmium-contaminated farmland in Gaochun District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. A completely randomized block design was used, dividing the experimental area into 20 plots, each with an area of 9 m². 2 (3m×3m) Each small section was divided by artificial embankments, with a protective row at each end. Foliar control treatments are shown in Table 3, with four replicates per treatment group. The foliar control agent was applied twice: once during the jointing stage and again during the early grain-filling stage of the rice, at a rate of 50L / mu. Other field management practices for rice followed the local large-scale field production model.
[0102] Table 3 shows the information on the treatment groups in the field experiment of this invention.
[0103]
[0104]
[0105] Rice samples were harvested at maturity in early October 2023, and the yield of rice in each plot was determined. Rice from each treatment was collected, and the grains were manually separated. The grains were then soaked in a 1% acetic acid solution for 2 minutes, followed by rinsing with tap water and deionized water to ensure no residual fertilizer-pesticide inhibitors remained on the grain surface. The rice grains were blanched at 105℃ for 30 minutes, then dried at 70℃ to constant weight and weighed. After pulverizing, the grains were passed through a 100-mesh sieve and left for digestion and cadmium content determination. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0106] Analysis of cadmium content in rice grains under different treatments showed that the application of foliar inhibitors loaded with Zn nanomaterials and abamectin-indoxacarb, either separately or in combination, could effectively reduce cadmium content in rice grains by 31.67%-44.38%.
[0107] To evaluate the effects of the combined fertilizer-pesticide foliar control agent formulation on the efficacy of the pesticide abamectin·indoxacarb and on rice yield, two treatments were established: combined fertilizer-pesticide application and separate fertilizer and pesticide application. Rice yield was then measured. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, only the YHS2 and YHST2 treatments (nHAP+SC+Y fertilizer-pesticide integrated application and nHAP+SC+TW+Y fertilizer-pesticide integrated application) significantly reduced rice yield by 16.7%-17.64%. This may be because the Zn element loaded in nHAP interacts with abamectin and indoxacarb in the dispersion system, affecting the functional structure of abamectin and indoxacarb, thus affecting its efficacy. In contrast, the foliar control agent based on Zn element loaded in nSiO2 and abamectin and indoxacarb has no significant effect on rice yield.
[0108] Therefore, considering both the cadmium reduction capacity of rice grains and the impact on rice yield, the best foliar control agent, which combines nSiO2-loaded zinc with a nonionic surfactant (Tween 80) and abamectin·indoxacarb, is the most effective. It can not only effectively reduce the absorption and translocation of cadmium in rice, resulting in a significant 41.04% reduction in cadmium in rice grains, but also does not affect the efficacy of pesticides or significantly change rice yield. It can be applied to cadmium-contaminated farmland, achieving the integration of foliar control agent and insecticide in a single application.
