[0061] (1) The insect-repellent and fertilizer-enhancing microcapsules of the present invention have a shell material comprising a composite shell material of urea-formaldehyde resin / nano-tourmaline. In the preparation process of the insect-repellent and fertilizer-enhancing microcapsules, nano-tourmaline powder can replace the template agent in the synthesis of microcapsules to maintain the stability of the microcapsule core material droplets. In addition, in the process of modifying the shell material with metal ions, the negative ion field released by tourmaline can adsorb metal ions onto the surface of the microcapsules, effectively increasing the loading of trace metal ions on the shell material of the microcapsules. Furthermore, after being sprinkled on the soil surface, the nano-tourmaline powder contained inside the shell material of the insect-repellent and fertilizer-enhancing microcapsules will release a negative ion field, which has the effects of purifying the air, promoting crop metabolism, enhancing crop enzyme activity, and promoting crop photosynthesis, thereby achieving the purpose of promoting plant growth.
[0062] (2) The insect-repellent and fattening microcapsules of the present invention have a non-toxic and harmless urea-formaldehyde resin shell material that can be degraded in the soil by the combined action of microorganisms and water, continuously releasing nitrogen and various trace metal elements immobilized on its surface, thereby achieving the purpose of long-term fattening.
[0063] (3) The insect-repellent and fattening microcapsules of the present invention encapsulate various insecticides and volatile essential oils in a urea-formaldehyde resin / nano-tourmaline composite shell. The volatile essential oils and insecticides can be released slowly together to kill insect eggs, keep insects away from the planting area, avoid the impact of insects on plants and people, and have a long-lasting insect-repellent effect.

[0066] The morphology of the insect-repellent and fattening microcapsules of this invention was tested using a ZEISS Supra 55 scanning electron microscope with an accelerating voltage of 20kV. Since the microcapsule wall material is non-conductive, the samples need to be sputtered with gold before testing.

[0069] The insect-repellent and fertilizer-enhancing microcapsules were mixed with air-dried soil using a mixing machine at a mass ratio of 1:100. The soil was then placed in self-watering potted planters (30cm in diameter and 15cm in height, with a water-filled inner pot at the bottom to slowly supply water to the upper soil) and wheatgrass was planted. The planters were then moved to a planting area for a potted plant experiment, and the growth height of the wheatgrass was monitored after 28 days.
