Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of herbicidal composition technology, specifically relating to a herbicidal composition containing diuron and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Diuron is a phenylurea herbicide, belonging to the selective or non-selective herbicides, and can be used for weed control on a variety of crops. Its mechanism of action is essentially: after being absorbed by plant roots or leaves, it inhibits the Hill reaction in photosynthesis, causing chlorosis of the leaves, discoloration of the leaf tips and edges, and ultimately, plant death due to nutrient deficiency.
[0003] Although diuron is effective and fast-acting in weed control, large-scale use can lead to its deposition in the soil. Through rainwater leaching, it can seep into groundwater and pollute the groundwater, causing water pollution and posing certain risks to the ecosystem and human health. Therefore, reducing its usage while ensuring weed control can minimize environmental damage and benefit long-term crop cultivation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a herbicidal composition containing diuron and its preparation method, which can solve the problem of high diuron application rates in the prior art.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A herbicidal composition containing diuron, comprising, by weight parts: Diuron 60-100 parts, fusulin 20-60 parts, ethoxyflufen 10-40 parts, sugarcane polyphenol-zein / brassinolide 5-15 parts, seaweed extract 2-8 parts, filler 100-150 parts, surfactant 5-10 parts. The sugarcane polyphenol-zein / brassinolide is a sustained-release particle obtained by loading brassinolide onto sugarcane polyphenol-zein as a nanocarrier.
[0006] Different herbicide components have different mechanisms of action and target organisms. Diuron is a systemic herbicide that primarily works by being absorbed by weeds through roots and leaves, then diffused, preventing them from photosynthesizing and causing them to gradually die, thus achieving weed control. Diuron's mechanism of action is the inhibition of photosynthesis. Combining diuron with fenuron (an inhibitor of acyl reductase) and ethoxyflufenoxam (an inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen oxidase), which both inhibit acyl reductase (ACCase) in plants, can delay the development of resistance and enhance weed control through the simultaneous action of their different mechanisms.
[0007] Brassinolide is a plant growth regulator whose mechanism of action is mainly through stimulating the activity of ATPase on the cell membrane, thereby promoting the secretion of H+ by the plasma membrane. +It reaches the cell wall, relaxes the cell wall, promotes cell elongation and division, and through the action of brassinolide, the active components of herbicides (such as diuron) sprayed on the root and leaf surface can enter the cells more quickly and be absorbed by weeds, thus ensuring efficacy at a lower concentration.
[0008] Herbicide active ingredients are easily washed away by rainwater after entering the soil. Applying seaweed extract to the soil can increase the proportion of water-stable macroaggregates in the soil. These water-stable macroaggregates intertwine to form a complex pore network, which improves the soil structure. This allows the active ingredients of the herbicide to be adsorbed and resisted from loss, so that they can be fully retained even at low concentrations, thus enhancing the efficacy of the herbicide.
[0009] Furthermore, the mass ratio of diuron, 2,4-D sodium salt and ethoxyflufenicol is 10:(3-7):(1-5).
[0010] Furthermore, the preparation method of the sugarcane polyphenol-zein / brassinolide includes the following steps: S1. Prepare a brassinolide ethanol solution with a concentration of 1-5 mg / mL; S2. After mixing the sugarcane polyphenol-zein concentrate and brassinolide ethanol solution, add the mixture to an ethanol aqueous solution and ultrasonically disperse it evenly to obtain the organic phase. S3. While stirring, add the organic phase to the deionized water and continue stirring to obtain a suspension; S4. After rotary evaporation and concentration, freeze-dry and grind to obtain sugarcane polyphenol-zein / brassinolide.
[0011] Brassinolide is hydrophobic, making it difficult to directly and evenly disperse and atomize it with water during the later stages of herbicide powder application. Sugarcane polyphenol-zein nanocarriers are composed of hydrophobic zein and hydrophilic polyphenol compounds. Brassinolide is encapsulated within the hydrophobic core of the zein, while the introduced hydrophilic sugarcane polyphenols ensure uniform dispersion in aqueous solution without precipitation or aggregation.
[0012] Furthermore, the concentration of zein in the sugarcane polyphenol-zein concentrate is 5-8% w / v.
[0013] Furthermore, the sugarcane polyphenol-zein concentrate and brassinolide are mixed at a mass ratio of zein to brassinolide of 100:6-10.
[0014] Further, in step S2, the volume ratio of ethanol to water in the ethanol-water solution is (7-8):(2-3).
[0015] Furthermore, in step S3, the deionized water is 8-10 times the volume of the organic phase.
[0016] Furthermore, the preparation method of the sugarcane polyphenol-zein concentrate includes the following steps: A1. Dissolve zein in an ethanol aqueous solution to obtain solution A, and dissolve sugarcane polyphenols in deionized water to obtain solution B; A2. Adjust the pH of solutions A and B to 9.0-9.5 respectively using sodium hydroxide solution; A3. Under light-protected conditions, the two solutions are stirred and mixed for 12-24 hours to obtain a mixture. After rotary evaporation and concentration, a sugarcane polyphenol-zein concentrate is obtained.
[0017] Zeatin has excellent self-assembly properties, enabling the preparation of spherical, uniformly sized nanoparticles. It can serve as a carrier for active components. By combining zeatin with polyphenols through hydrogen bonding, stable zeatin-based nanoparticles can be constructed, exhibiting strong biocompatibility and biodegradability, and enabling sustained release.
[0018] Furthermore, the concentration of zein in solution A is 20-30 mg / mL; and the concentration of sugarcane polyphenols in solution B is 40-50 mg / mL.
[0019] Furthermore, solution A and solution B are mixed at a mass ratio of zein to sugarcane polyphenols of 1:0.2-0.5.
[0020] Furthermore, in step A3, the deionized water is 3-5 times the volume of the mixed liquid.
[0021] Furthermore, the surfactant is one of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and sodium lignosulfonate.
[0022] Furthermore, the filler is one of bentonite and kaolin.
[0023] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a herbicidal composition containing diuron, for preparing the herbicidal composition containing diuron as described above, comprising the following steps: Prepare the raw materials for the herbicidal composition according to the specified proportions, mix and stir all the raw materials evenly, and then crush them to obtain the finished product.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention optimizes the formulation of a herbicidal composition containing diuron, using diuron as the main active herbicide component. It adds fenfluridine and ethoxyflufenoxam, which have different mechanisms of action, to synergistically delay the development of resistance in weeds and enhance the herbicidal effect. Simultaneously, sugarcane polyphenol-zein / brassinolide and seaweed extract are added to the herbicidal composition. Brassinolide relaxes plant cell walls, promoting the absorption of the active herbicide component. Sugarcane polyphenol-zein loads hydrophobic brassinolide, giving it hydrophilic slow-release properties, facilitating the formation of a uniform aqueous dispersion during subsequent application. Seaweed extract increases the proportion of water-stable macroaggregates in the soil, improving soil structure and reducing the loss of efficacy from the herbicide composition. By combining enhanced absorption of the active herbicide component and reduced efficacy loss, the herbicidal composition ensures full efficacy, reducing the amount of diuron required and avoiding ecological damage caused by excessive pesticide use.

[0078] Field efficacy trials: The herbicidal compositions prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 2-5 were used at a ratio of 100 g / 666.7 m³. 2 The dosage is 50 kg of water to prepare the solution. The 25% diuron wettable powder from Comparative Example 1 is prepared at a rate of 400 g / 666.7 m³. 2 The pesticide solution was prepared with 50 kg of water.
