Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pesticides, and particularly relates to a pesticide composition and its application in controlling cucumber root-knot nematodes. Background Art
[0002] Cucumber root-knot nematodes have three stages: eggs, larvae, and adults. Among them, eggs, first-instar larvae, third-instar larvae, fourth-instar larvae, and adults are all non-infectious, and only second-instar larvae are infectious. After cucumber transplantation, the nearby root-knot nematodes begin to infect immediately. The peak period for second-instar larvae of cucumber root-knot nematodes to invade the roots is 5 - 7 days after transplantation. One to two days after invading the roots, root knots begin to form.
[0003] Matrine extract is an alkaloid prepared by ethanol extraction from the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of Sophora flavescens, containing various alkaloids such as matrine, sophocarpine, sophoridine, albiflorine, and oxysophocarpine. Matrine extract is composed of multiple components with similar chemical structures and multiple components with dissimilar chemical structures. They complement each other and work together. Matrine has the activities of killing nematodes, insects, and bacteria.
[0004] Oligosaccharins are natural polysaccharide products (oligosaccharides with D-glucosamine linked by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds) extracted from the shells of marine organisms such as shrimps and crabs. They are obtained by degrading chitin to chitosan and then further degrading it, or by microbial fermentation and extraction. Different from traditional pesticides, oligosaccharins do not directly act on harmful organisms, but instead stimulate the plant's own immune response, causing the plant to produce disease-resistant substances such as phenolic compounds, chitinase, glucanase, lignin, phytoalexins, and pathogenesis-related proteins, obtaining systemic resistance, and thus playing the roles of stress resistance, disease and pest resistance, and yield increase.
[0005] There are not many registered pesticides for controlling cucumber root-knot nematodes, mainly pesticides such as abamectin and fosthiazate. Long-term use is likely to lead to drug resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new pesticides for controlling cucumber root-knot nematodes. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Further, the application is used for the control of cucumber root-knot nematodes, by irrigation application, the dosage of the active ingredient is 56-78 g / ha, with an interval of 7 days, and the pesticide is applied 2 times.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the pesticide composition of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) Compared with single agents, the pesticide composition has obvious synergistic effects on cucumber root-knot nematodes and significantly improves the control effect.
[0019] (2) The active ingredients in the pesticide composition are compounded with pesticides having different action mechanisms, which can delay the resistance of pests.

Under the test drugs, there was a good control effect on cucumber root-knot nematodes.
[0121] 30 days after the last dose of the test substance, the control effects of the treatments with the active ingredient dosages of 56, 67, and 78 g / ha in Examples 1, 2, and 3 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were 74.98%-84.14%. The control effects of the treatments with the active ingredient dosages of 56, 67, and 78 g / ha in Comparative Example 1 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were 66.41%-71.59%. The control effects of the treatments with the active ingredient dosages of 83 and 46 g / ha in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were 65.65% and 66.67% respectively.
[0122] 60 days after the last dose of the test substance, the control effects of the treatments with 56, 67, and 78 g / ha of the active ingredients in Examples 1, 2, and 3 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were 71.07%-79.37%. The control effects of the treatments with 56, 67, and 78 g / ha of the active ingredients in Comparative Example 1 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were 64.23%-69.59%. The control effects of the treatments with 83 and 46 g / ha of the active ingredients in Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were 62.03% and 63.28% respectively.
[0123] 30 days and 60 days after the last dose of the test substance, the control effects of Examples 1, 2, and 3 on cucumber root-knot nematodes were significantly higher than those of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3.
