Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plant growth regulators, in particular to a cotton defoliant containing a fluorine-containing thiabendazole derivative and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cotton is one of the most important economic crops in China. In recent years, with the change of labor structure and the increase of labor cost in major cotton-producing areas, mechanical cotton picking has been rapidly promoted. Chemical defoliation is the key to mechanical harvesting of cotton, and poor defoliation effect and high impurity rate will affect the quality of mechanical cotton.

[0003] Thiabendazole is a new type of high-efficiency plant growth regulator with strong cell division activity, which can promote photosynthesis, improve fruit quality and increase fruit storage resistance. When used as a defoliant in cotton planting, it can promote the separation of leaf stalks and stems to form natural leaf fall, which is beneficial to mechanical cotton picking and helps to improve cotton grade. However, when using thiabendazole, there is no obvious defoliation effect when the daily minimum temperature is lower than 12℃, which makes the use of thiabendazole too late. If a product that can defoliate at low temperature is found, the application time of defoliant can be postponed, and more cotton bolls can be picked, increasing cotton yield and quality.

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to design and synthesize new fluorine-containing thiabendazole derivatives, study their properties, and develop new cotton defoliants to increase cotton yield and quality. SUMMARY
