TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural plant protection, and in particular to a multifunctional plant protection agent and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of agricultural production, the invasion of pests seriously affects the yield and quality of crops. Taking the citrus industry as an example, the citrus psyllid is the main transmission medium of citrus Huanglongbing, which causes devastating damage to citrus trees. Although the widespread use of chemical pesticides has controlled pests to some extent, long-term dependence has led to increased pest resistance, and pesticide runoff has caused pollution to the ecological environment such as soil and water. In addition, traditional control methods are single in function and cannot meet the comprehensive control needs of pests in green agriculture and sustainable development.
[0003] Nanomaterials have unique physical and chemical properties, and their application in the field of agriculture has gradually emerged. In the aspect of pesticide formulation improvement, nano-SiO2 can be used as a carrier to improve the stability, target adsorption and slow-release performance of pesticides. Although nano-SiO2 has shown potential advantages in the field of agriculture, there are still significant limitations in current research and application. Most existing research focuses on the exploration and application of single function of nano-SiO2, such as some research only focuses on its slow-release performance as a pesticide carrier, or simply explores its mechanism of action as a biological stimulant to induce plant resistance, lacking systematic exploration of multifunctional synergistic effects; from the perspective of control objects, most researches are limited to certain specific pests, and the complexity and diversity of pest occurrence in agricultural production are not fully considered. This single-function, single-object research mode has led to a serious lack of systematic exploration of the multifunctional synergistic effects of nano-SiO2.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop an efficient, safe and multifunctional new green plant protection agent and to construct a comprehensive control technical solution in the field of modern agricultural pest control. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a multifunctional plant protection agent and a preparation method and application thereof, to solve the problem of single function of existing plant protection agents, and also to solve the problems of strong resistance to existing chemical pesticides and easy environmental pollution.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:
[0007] A multifunctional plant protection agent is composed of nano-SiO2, sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, kaolin, eucalyptus oil, Tween 80 and water.
[0008] According to the above technical means, by taking nano-SiO2 as the main active ingredient, compounding sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, kaolin and eucalyptus oil auxiliary agents, and synergistic effect, the multifunctional plant protection agent integrates the functions of killing, blocking and avoiding, can efficiently prevent and control citrus psylla and other pests, and significantly reduces the use of chemical pesticides. The environmental friendly characteristics help to protect the safety of agricultural products, reduce the risk of environmental pollution, and promote the development of green agriculture. The protection agent can construct a comprehensive and long-acting protection system for crops, effectively guarantee the stability and economic benefits of agricultural production, and provide important guarantee for sustainable agricultural development. The problems of single function of the existing plant protection agent are solved, and the problems of strong drug resistance and easy environmental pollution of the existing chemical pesticides are also solved.
[0009] Among them, the eucalyptus oil effectively enhances the toxic activity and avoidance effect of the multifunctional plant protection agent; the sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate acts as a dispersing agent to make the nano-SiO2 uniformly distributed in the multifunctional plant protection agent; the sodium carboxymethyl starch improves the adhesion and spreading performance of the multifunctional plant protection agent on the plant surface; and the kaolin acts as a carrier to load the nano-SiO2.
[0010] Preferably, the nano-SiO2, sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, kaolin and eucalyptus oil are 60g-80g:3g-7g:3g-7g:10g-30g:100-300mL in g:g:g:g:mL.
[0011] Preferably, the nano-SiO2, sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, kaolin and eucalyptus oil are 70g:5g:5g:20g:200mL in g:g:g:g:mL.
[0012] Preferably, the particle size of the nano-SiO2 is 15-25nm.
[0013] Preferably, the particle size of the nano-SiO2 is 18-22nm.
[0014] Preferably, the particle size of the nano-SiO2 is 20nm.
[0015] The application also provides a preparation method of the multifunctional plant protection agent, comprising the following steps:
[0016] The eucalyptus oil is dispersed in the Tween 80 aqueous solution to obtain a eucalyptus oil dispersion;
[0017] The nano-SiO2, sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate and kaolin are mixed to obtain a mixture;
[0018] The mixture is added into the eucalyptus oil dispersion to obtain the multifunctional plant protection agent.
[0019] The present invention's method for preparing a multifunctional plant protectant involves diluting Australian tea tree essential oil and then directly mixing it with nano-SiO2, sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, and kaolin to produce the multifunctional plant protectant. This method offers the advantages of a simple preparation method, mild conditions, and a wide range of raw material sources. The risk of environmental pollution during both the preparation process and after application is low, effectively addressing the issues of strong pesticide resistance and environmental pollution associated with existing chemical pesticides.
[0020] Preferably, the mass percentage of Tween 80 in the Tween 80 aqueous solution is 0.1%.
[0021] By diluting the Australian tea tree essential oil with a Tween 80 aqueous solution, the dispersibility of the Australian tea tree essential oil was effectively improved.
[0022] Preferably, the mixture is added to a dispersion of Australian tea tree essential oil, and the mixture is mixed by stirring and oscillating at normal temperature and pressure to obtain the multifunctional plant protection agent.
[0023] By combining stirring and oscillating mixing, the initial wetting and sufficient dispersion of the mixture are effectively achieved.

Combined with the neurotoxic effects of Australian tea tree essential oil, this highly effective agent kills target pests. After spraying, the protectant forms a physical barrier on the plant surface, physically blocking contact between citrus psyllids, aphids, Spodoptera litura, and Meloidae, significantly reducing their feeding and egg-laying behavior. Furthermore, the scent of Australian tea tree essential oil acts as a pest repellent, further reducing the risk of infestation.
[0030] Preferably, the citrus psyllid is an adult citrus psyllid and / or a fifth-instar nymph of citrus psyllid.
[0031] Preferably, the Spodoptera litura is a 2nd instar nymph of Spodoptera litura.
[0032] Preferably, the application method of the multifunctional plant protection agent is that the multifunctional plant protection agent is sprayed on the plant infested by the plant pest.
[0033] Preferably, the multifunctional plant protection agent is sprayed on the healthy plant to form a preventive barrier to physically block the plant pest infestation and avoid the plant pest.
[0034] Preferably, for citrus pests, the application method of the multifunctional plant protection agent is that the multifunctional plant protection agent is sprayed on the plant infested by the citrus pest.

[0037] Preferably, for litsea cubeba pests, the application method of the multifunctional plant protection agent is that the multifunctional plant protection agent is sprayed on the healthy plant to form a preventive barrier to physically block the citrus pest infestation and avoid the citrus pest.
[0038] The application also provides a product for preventing and treating citrus pests, comprising the multifunctional plant protection agent.
[0039] Advantages of the application:
[0040] The multifunctional plant protection agent of the application has multiple functions of killing pests, physically blocking, and avoiding pests through the mutual synergistic effect of nano-SiO2, sodium carboxymethyl starch, sodium butylnaphthalene sulfonate, kaolin, and eucalyptus oil, and can achieve efficient and comprehensive prevention and control of citrus psylla. The multifunctional plant protection agent of the application not only fills the technical gap, reduces the use of chemical pesticides, alleviates environmental pollution and agricultural product safety problems, and promotes the green and sustainable development of agriculture, but also provides comprehensive and persistent protection for crops through the synergistic effect of multiple functions, ensures the stability and economic benefits of agricultural production, and meets the urgent needs of modern agricultural pest comprehensive prevention and control.

[0072] Example 4
[0073] A method for using the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 to kill citrus psylla adult insects and 5th instar nymphs, comprising the following steps:
[0074] First, place 20 citrus psylla test insects (adults or 5th instar nymphs) in a culture dish;
[0075] Subsequently, insert a branch with leaves of about 8 cm long into a 2 mL centrifuge tube (tube cover is cut off and sealed with sealing film) fixed at the bottom with Play-Doh, and place the whole into an aviation cup.
[0076] Subsequently, the citrus psyllid test insects were immersed in the multifunctional plant protection agent (treatment group) and clean water (control group) prepared in Example 1 for 10 seconds, taken out and transferred to the branches in the aviation cup, sealed with a mesh bag, and placed in an artificial climate chamber for cultivation. Three repetitions were set for each treatment group and control group. The number of dead insects was recorded 24h, 48h, and 72h after treatment (judgment standard: no reaction when the insect body was lightly touched), and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated. In addition, the dead citrus psyllid test insects at each time point (24h, 48h, 72h) were collected, and their morphological characteristics after death were observed using an optical microscope. The results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 shown.
[0077] Among them, mortality rate (%) = (number of dead insects ÷ total number of insects) × 100;
[0078] Adjusted mortality rate (%) = (mortality rate of treatment group - mortality rate of control group) / (1 - mortality rate of control group) × 100.
[0079] Table 1 shows the adjusted mortality rates of citrus psyllid adults and fifth-instar nymphs at different times
[0080]
[0081] From the comparative analysis in Table 1, it can be seen that after treatment with the nano-SiO2 multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1, the corrected mortality rates of citrus psyllid adults and 5th instar nymphs reached 100% at 24 h, fully demonstrating that the multifunctional plant protection agent of the present invention has extremely high toxicity and significant fast-acting properties.
[0082] from Figure 1 The analysis showed that the internodes and wings of the fifth-instar nymphs of the citrus psyllid treated with the multifunctional plant protection agent of the present invention were mostly covered with white powder of the protection agent, which proved that the multifunctional plant protection agent of the present invention had good adhesion.
[0083] Example 5
[0084] A method for using the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 to block adult citrus psyllids comprises the following steps:
[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, the experiment was carried out in an insect cage: Murraya odorifera seedlings were pre-screened for being free of citrus psyllids, three plants on the left were sprayed with water (control group), and three plants on the right were sprayed with the nano-SiO2 multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 (treatment group). Figure 2 The cylindrical device in the middle is used to hold 100 adult citrus psyllids.
[0086] Subsequently, 100 citrus psyllid adults were released from the cylindrical device into the insect cage. The number of adults attached to the plants in the control group and the treated group was recorded and counted at 1 hour, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 days after treatment. The experiment was repeated three times, and the data were statistically analyzed. The results are as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0087] Among them, the insect attraction rate (%) = (number of insects on each plant ÷ total number of insects) × 100.
[0088] from Figure 3 Analysis revealed that from one hour to seven days after spraying the nano-SiO2 multifunctional plant protectant prepared in Example 1, the insect attraction rate in the treated group was consistently significantly lower than that in the control group, with the difference reaching a highly significant level, indicating that the multifunctional plant protectant of the present invention has a significant barrier effect on citrus psyllid adults. Just one hour after treatment, the distribution of citrus psyllid adults on seedlings in the treated group versus the control group showed significant differences. This barrier effect stabilized after one day and persisted for seven days after treatment. These results demonstrate that the multifunctional plant protectant of the present invention not only has a rapid onset of action but also a long-lasting effect.
[0089] Example 6
[0090] A method for controlling citrus psyllid adults using the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 comprises the following steps:
[0091] like Figure 4 As shown, the experiment used clean water as a control group and the multifunctional plant protectant prepared in Example 1 as a treatment group. Each group contained three Murraya Osmanthus fragrans seedlings that had been pre-screened to be free of citrus psyllids. 100 adult citrus psyllids were placed on each seedling. After stabilization, the leaves were evenly sprayed with either clean water or the multifunctional plant protectant prepared in Example 1 until the leaves were moist and drip-free. The number of surviving adults (insect population) on plants in each treatment group was counted on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after treatment. The population reduction rate and relative control efficacy were calculated from this data. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0092] Where, insect population reduction rate (%) = (number of live insects before treatment - number of live insects after treatment) / number of live insects before treatment × 100;
[0093] Control effect (%) = (insect population reduction rate in the treatment area - insect population reduction rate in the control group) / (1 - insect population reduction rate in the control group) × 100.
[0094] Table 2 shows the control effect of multifunctional plant protection agents on citrus psyllid adults
[0095]
[0096] As shown in Table 2, the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 demonstrated significant control effectiveness against citrus psyllids. One day after spraying, the population reduction rate and relative control efficacy reached 98% ± 1% and 97.9% ± 0.7%, respectively. This remained relatively stable for seven days, with the population reduction rate and relative control efficacy reaching 99.3% ± 1.2% and 99.3% ± 0.9%, respectively, at that time. This demonstrates the multifunctional plant protection agent's excellent sustained control capabilities, effectively controlling citrus psyllid populations over an extended period.
[0097] Example 7
[0098] A method for spraying the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 on plants to reduce pest damage comprises the following steps:
[0099] The multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 was evenly sprayed on the Murraya aromatica plants, and the growth status of the Murraya aromatica plants was observed 1, 2, and 3 days after the spraying. Figure 5 shown.
[0100] from Figure 5 Analysis shows that after spraying the multifunctional plant protectant of the present invention on Murraya osmanthus leaves, a uniform white coating forms, demonstrating good adhesion and spreadability on the leaf surface. This coating acts as a physical barrier, preventing pests from contacting the leaves, thereby reducing pest damage to the plants.
[0101] Example 8
[0102] A method for using the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 to kill three pests: citrus aphids, second-instar nymphs of Spodoptera litura, and Litsea cubeba pest (Meadowbrook spp.), using a unified insect immersion method to conduct a toxicity determination experiment. The specific operation is as follows:
[0103] Twenty citrus aphids were selected and placed in a petri dish along with Murraya odora leaves approximately 8 cm long, wrapped at the base with wet cotton. Twenty second-instar nymphs of the citrus armyworm (Spodoptera litura) and 15 litsea cubeba (Coleoptera littoralis) were selected and placed in a petri dish and a lunch box, respectively. Each group of test insects was immersed in the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 (treatment group) or water (control group) for 10 seconds. The citrus aphid group was then supplemented with Murraya odora leaves, the citrus armyworm group with a feed of uniform size, and the litsea cubeba (Coleoptera littoralis) group with an equal amount of litsea cubeba leaves. All samples were cultured in an artificial climate chamber, with three biological replicates for each treatment. The number of dead insects was recorded 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment (criterion: no reaction to lightly touching the insect body), and the mortality rate and adjusted mortality rate were calculated. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0104] Among them, mortality rate (%) = (number of dead insects ÷ total number of insects) × 100;
[0105] Adjusted mortality rate (%) = (mortality rate of treatment group - mortality rate of control group) / (1 - mortality rate of control group) × 100.
[0106] Table 3 shows the corrected mortality rates of three pests: aphids, second-instar nymphs of Spodoptera litura and Meloidae at different times
[0107]
[0108] Analysis in Table 3 demonstrates that the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 exhibits significant broad-spectrum efficacy against citrus aphids, second-instar nymphs of citrus moth, and litsea cubeba pests (Melodes meloides). The 24-hour mortality rate against citrus aphids and second-instar nymphs of citrus moth, and the 48-hour mortality rate against litsea cubeba pests (Melodes meloides), reached 100%. During the experiment, it was found that even those litsea cubeba pests that survived 24 hours of treatment showed a significant decline in activity, essentially losing their ability to harm crops.
[0109] Example 9
[0110] A method for spraying the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 on plants to repel pests comprises the following steps:
[0111] Each group contains 2 Murraya osmanthus seedlings that have been pre-screened and confirmed to be free of citrus psyllids. The 2 Murraya osmanthus seedlings in each group are placed in independent insect cages. 50 citrus psyllid adults are then placed on each seedling. After they stabilize, one group is evenly sprayed with clean water until the leaves are moist and not dripping, serving as the control group. The other group is evenly sprayed with the multifunctional plant protection agent prepared in Example 1 until the leaves are moist and not dripping, serving as the treatment group. The experiment is repeated 3 times. The number of adults on the plants is counted at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours after treatment, and the repellent effect of the protective agent on citrus psyllids is calculated according to the following formula. The results are shown in the figure below. Figure 6 shown.
[0112] Avoidance rate (%) = [(C-T)÷C]×100, C is the number of adults in the control group, and T is the number of adults in the treatment group.
[0113] from Figure 6 Analysis revealed that the multifunctional plant protectant of the present invention exhibited a rapid repellent effect against citrus psyllids, reaching a repellent rate of 83.33% ± 1.15% just 5 minutes after spraying. The repellent rate then stabilized at 86.67% ± 1.15% over the next 10 minutes to 3 hours. This demonstrates that the multifunctional plant protectant not only exhibits a significant repellent effect but also exhibits a long-lasting and stable effect.
[0114] In summary, the multifunctional plant protection agent of the present application has the multiple functions of "insect killing + physical blocking + avoiding". Through the bioassay experiment of the adult and 5th instar nymph of citrus psylla, the blocking effect experiment in the seedling cage and the spraying experiment in the indoor seedling pot, it is verified that the multifunctional plant protection agent has significant control effect on citrus psylla, and also has good toxic killing activity on aphids, 2nd instar larvae of Prodenia litura and meloidae pests. The development of the multifunctional plant protection agent provides a new scheme for green prevention and control of agricultural pests, and the preparation method is simple, and the application range is wide.
[0115] The multifunctional plant protection agent has excellent broad-spectrum and high-efficiency properties, which provides a wide application prospect. Not only can it greatly reduce the use of chemical pesticides, reduce environmental pollution and pesticide residue risk, and protect the quality and safety of agricultural products, but also can provide rapid, comprehensive and long-acting protection for crops, thereby improving the stability and economic benefits of agricultural production, and effectively promoting the development of green agriculture.
