Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural chemicals, and in particular to an ester-containing pinene analogue and a preparation method thereof, as well as application of the compound in aphid control and natural enemy attraction. Background Art

[0002] Aphids are worldwide agricultural pests with the characteristics of many species, fast reproduction, overlapping generations, and multiple hosts. At present, the prevention and control of aphids still relies on chemical pesticides. However, the long-term use of traditional pesticides has led to increasingly serious resistance of aphids. As of 2024, peach aphids (Myzus persicae) have become resistant to more than 80 active ingredients of insecticides, ranking in the top 10 of the most resistant invertebrates in the world. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new green, safe and efficient aphid control agents. In recent years, the use of aphid natural enemies for biological control of aphids has been favored by people because of its environmental friendliness and safety to non-target organisms.

[0003] Diaeretiella rapae is a gregarious, polyphagous endoparasitic wasp of the order Hymenoptera, family Aphididae, genus Diaeretiella. As an important natural enemy of biological control, it has a very wide host range. It mainly parasitizes various aphids of the superfamily Aphidoidea, such as peach aphid, radish aphid and cabbage aphid, which harm cruciferous crops. It plays a very important role in controlling the aphid population.

[0004] When aphids are attacked or stimulated by external factors, their abdominal tubes will secrete small droplets containing volatile gases with alarm activity - alarm pheromones. Other aphids can receive the alarm signal, produce behavioral responses such as repellent, and quickly flee the scene. In addition to playing a repellent or anti-feeding role to directly resist pests, it can also play an indirect role by attracting natural enemies of pests. It is an important component of aphid alarm pheromone, which can not only effectively repel peach aphids, but also has good fumigation toxicity to peach aphids. When mixed with other terpenoid compounds, it can enhance its repellent activity against aphids. In addition, pinene has attractant activity against many natural enemies of aphids, such as Chinese lacewings, big lacewings, thirteen-spotted ladybirds, multicolored ladybirds and black-banded aphid flies. However, the biological activity of pinene and its analogs against natural enemies of the Aphididae family is still unclear, so its behavioral activity against aphid parasitic wasps deserves further study, in order to develop aphid control agents with dual activities of aphid repellent and parasitic wasp attraction.

[0005] Although aphid alarm pheromone components have the advantages of strong specificity, trace amount and eco-friendly, they also have the disadvantages of being volatile, unstable in structure and difficult to apply in the field. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop aphid control agents with both activity and stability by taking aphid alarm pheromone components as active guides for green prevention and control of aphids. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ester-containing pinene analogue and its preparation and application. The present invention uses aphid alarm pheromone components as the lead to synthesize the ester-containing pinene analogue. The compound not only has obvious repellent activity against aphids but also has obvious attractant activity against natural enemies of aphids. It has dual activity and can be used for the prevention and treatment of aphids in crops, fruit trees, Chinese herbal medicines and flowers.

[0067] Example 4: Attraction activity of the compounds of the present invention against Aphididae

[0068] The method reported in the reference (Qin YG, et al. Insects. 2022, 13 (11): 1105) was used to test the attraction activity of the compounds of the present invention as representatives of the embodiments (as shown in Table 3), and 60 heads (12 groups, 5 heads in each group) were used for each sample. The test equipment was a T-type olfactometer, and 5 newly emerged aphid wasps were released from the release port. Air was passed into each arm at 0.4 L / min through a vacuum pump. The air introduced into the test arm first passed through 10 μg of the sample flavor source, and the other arm was used as a solvent control arm. The number of aphid wasps in each arm was recorded 15 minutes after the sample was introduced. The experiment for each sample was repeated at least three times. The aphid wasps that crossed the center of the olfactometer were counted as the treatment group or the control group, and the aphid wasps that did not cross were recorded as the unresponsive group.

[0069] To calculate the preference index, the formula is as follows:

[0070] Preference index (%) = (number of insects in the treatment group - number of insects in the control group) / (number of insects in the treatment group + number of insects in the control group) * 100%

[0071] The test results of the attraction activity of Aphididae are shown in Table 3.

[0072] Table 3 The attraction activity of the compounds of formula I to Aphididae

[0073] serial number Preference index (%) Ia 12.3 Ib 14.8 Ic 46.5 Id 42.8 Ie 10.8 If 38.2 Ig 35.3 Ih 11.5 Ii 2.5 Ij 2.2 I 10.0 I-l 25.2 Im 24.3 In 1.3 Io 11.5 Ip 10.7 Iq 18.7 I-r 11.7 Is 8.1 It 2.7 Pinene 33.6 Myrtenol 5.5

[0074] As can be seen from Table 3, the lead pinene and some compounds of formula I provided by the present invention have good attraction activity to Aphididae, among which compounds Ic, Id and If have a better preference index to Aphididae at a dose of 10 μg than the aphid alarm pheromone pinene and its oxidized product myrtene alcohol, among which Ic and Id have the most outstanding activity, and the preference index of Aphididae is above 40%. They can be used as candidate attractants of Aphididae for green control of aphids.

[0075] Example 5: Repellent activity against aphids

[0076] The method reported in the reference (Yang ZK, et al. Pest Manag Sci. 2023, 79: 760-770) was used to test the repellent activity against aphids using the compounds of the present invention as representatives of the embodiments (as shown in Table 4). The test equipment is a T-type olfactometer, and more than 20 wingless adult aphids are released from the release port, and air is introduced into each arm at 0.2 L / min through a vacuum pump. The air introduced into the test arm first passes through 5 μg of the sample odor source, and the other arm serves as a solvent control arm. Record the number of aphids in each arm when the sample is introduced for 15 minutes. Each sample experiment was repeated at least three times. Aphids that crossed the center of the olfactometer were counted as the treatment group or the control group, and aphids that did not cross were recorded as the unresponsive group.

[0077] Calculate the repellency rate, the formula is as follows

[0078] Repellency rate (%) = (number of insects in the control group minus number of insects in the treatment group) / (number of insects in the control group + number of insects in the treatment group) * 100%

[0079] The results of the aphid repellent activity test are shown in Tables 4 and 5.

[0082] Table 5 Repellent activity of some compounds of formula I against soybean aphids

[0083] serial number Repellency rate (%) Ic 50.8 Id 37.4 Pinene 15.9 Myrtenol 23.3

[0084] The results in Table 4 and Table 5 show that the compounds of the present invention have repellent activity against peach aphids at low concentrations, among which compounds Ia, Ib, Id, Ie, Ih, Ij and It have repellent rates of more than 50% against peach aphids at a dose of 5 μg. Further studies have found that the repellent rates of Ic and Id against soybean aphids at a dose of 5 μg are more than 37%, which is significantly better than the aphid alarm pheromone pinene and its oxidized product myrtenol. The above compounds are simple and feasible to synthesize, and the raw material sources are green and safe. They are worth further development as aphid behavior control agents and have good application prospects.

[0085] Example 6: Attraction activity against Harmonia axyridis

[0086] The method reported in the reference (Pan SX, et al. JAgr Food Chem. 2024, 72 (40): 22035-22044) uses some compounds of the present invention as representatives of the examples to test their biological activity against Harmonia axyridis. The test equipment is a Y-shaped olfactometer, in which a Y-shaped wire is placed to facilitate the crawling of the ladybug. The two sides of the Y-shaped olfactometer are connected to the flavor source and the blank, respectively, and a blank and 100 μg of flavor source are introduced from both sides of the Y-shaped olfactometer at a wind speed of 0.6 L / min. A ladybug is placed at the bottom of the Y-shaped tube, and the choice of the ladybug is observed after 5 minutes. It is effective only after crossing the bifurcation of the Y-shaped olfactometer by 7 cm. Every 5 ladybugs form a group. After each group, the Y-shaped olfactometer is cleaned with clean water and anhydrous ethanol, and the directions of the two ends of the Y-shaped olfactometer are reversed to carry out the next group of experiments. The test does not distinguish between male and female insects, and 60 effective Harmonia axyridis need to be counted.

[0087] Calculate the selection rate, the formula is as follows

[0088] Selection rate (%) = number of effective ladybugs in treatment / (number of effective ladybugs in treatment + number of effective ladybugs in blank)*100%

[0089] The test results of the attraction activity of Harmonia axyridis are shown in Table 6.

[0091] serial number Attraction rate (%) Ic 60.0 Id 71.7 Pinene 66.7 Myrtenol 55.0

[0092] As can be seen from Table 6, the lead pinene and some compounds of formula I provided by the present invention have good attraction activity to Harmonia axyridis. The attraction activity of compounds Id and Ic is better than that of the raw material myrtene alcohol. Among them, compound Id has the most outstanding activity, with an attraction rate of more than 70% for Harmonia axyridis, which is better than lead pinene and myrtene alcohol, and can be used as a ladybug attractant for green control of aphids.
