Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural pest control technology, and in particular to a pesticide composition containing plant essential oils and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Cyantraniliprole is a highly effective, low-toxicity diamide insecticide that targets the ryanodine receptor in insects. After binding to the ryanodine receptor, cyantraniliprole causes the receptor channel to remain open, stimulating the release of calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 2+ Uncontrolled release into the cytoplasm, by interfering with intracellular calcium... 2+ The balance causes the muscles to remain in a state of continuous contraction, preventing them from relaxing, while simultaneously consuming a large amount of ATP, ultimately leading to the death of the insect. Its mechanism of action is either stomach poison or contact killing.

[0003] Bromnipotentiamide has excellent penetrability and strong systemic action in plants. It can penetrate into the plant through stems and leaves, and can also be absorbed through the roots, moving in the xylem and being translocated throughout the entire plant. After ingesting the pesticide, pests stop feeding within minutes and usually begin to die within 1 to 4 days, with a residual effect of about two weeks. It has good control effects on Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, especially against piercing-sucking pests such as thrips, aphids, and whiteflies, which are highly resistant to traditional pesticides. It does not exhibit cross-resistance with traditional insecticides such as organophosphates and carbamates, and can be used to control pest populations that have developed resistance to other pesticides. At the same time, it has high safety for non-target organisms such as mammals, birds, and fish, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies it as a "low-risk" pesticide.

[0004] Plant essential oils are volatile oily substances with special aromas extracted from the flowers, leaves, stems, roots, bark, fruits, or seeds of aromatic plants through physical methods such as steam distillation, pressing, and solvent extraction. They exhibit various biological activities against a variety of agricultural pests and pathogens, and mainly repel insects through their scent. However, they have disadvantages such as high volatility and poor persistence.

[0005] Applying chemical agents is the most direct and effective means of controlling plant pests. However, long-term, continuous, and high-dose application of a single chemical insecticide can easily lead to problems such as pesticide residues, environmental pollution, and insecticide resistance in pests. Due to the misuse and abuse of pesticides, thrips resistance has increased dramatically, and thrips are resistant to most commonly used insecticides on the market. Developing new insecticides is often difficult, costly, and time-consuming.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can effectively prevent plant pests, especially thrips pests. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following embodiments are conventional methods; the materials and reagents used are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0035] Example 1: Insecticide Screening Test I. Experimental Methods Indoleacetic acid, fenpropathrin, bromocyanamide, flonicamid, flupyrflufenoxam, and chlorthiazoline were each diluted with 0.2 wt% Tween-water solution to prepare insecticide solutions of 10 mg / L.

[0036] Cowpea pod segments, each 1 cm long and without pores at both ends, were immersed in diluted insecticide solutions for 15 seconds, then removed and air-dried to obtain cowpea pods treated with each insecticide.

[0037] The insecticide treatment groups were as follows: cowpea pods treated with each insecticide were placed in different petri dishes containing filter paper, and 20 cowpea thrips were added to each petri dish. The petri dishes were covered and sealed with breathable medical gauze (four parallel experiments were set up for each insecticide-treated cowpea pod). The number of cowpea thrips that died in each petri dish was recorded after 24h, 48h, and 72h.

[0038] The control group consisted of small segments of cowpea pods, 1 cm in length and without pores at both ends, which were soaked in a 0.2 wt% Tween solution for 15 seconds and then air-dried. These cowpea pods were placed in a petri dish containing filter paper, and 20 cowpea thrips were introduced into the dish. The petri dish was then covered and sealed with breathable medical gauze. The number of dead cowpea thrips in the petri dish was recorded after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h.

[0039] Calculate the mortality rate of each insecticide treatment group and the control group according to Formula I, and calculate the corrected mortality rate according to Formula II. Formula I: Mortality rate (%) = (Number of dead cowpea thrips in petri dish / Total number of cowpea thrips in petri dish) × 100%; Formula II: Corrected mortality rate (%) = (Morale rate of insecticide-treated group - Morale rate of control group) / (100% - Morale rate of control group) × 100%; If the mortality rate of the control group is less than 10%, the experimental results are considered reliable; otherwise, the experiment should be repeated.

[0040] II. Experimental Results The corrected mortality rates for each insecticide treatment group are shown in Table 1.

[0041] Table 1 Corrected mortality rates for each insecticide treatment group

[0042] The results showed that, under the same concentration, the corrected mortality rate of cowpea thrips varied after treatment with different insecticides. Bromhizoctonia solani showed the best inhibitory effect on cowpea thrips when bromhizoctonia solani was used as the insecticide. The results also indicated that the control of cowpea thrips with bromhizoctonia solani is not fast-acting, and there is a period of efficacy vacuum in the early stage of application.

[0043] Example 2: Screening Test of Plant Essential Oils I. Experimental Methods Cinnamomum camphora essential oil (Jiangxi Xinsen Natural Plant Oil Co., Ltd., 10205308679805) was used to prepare cinnamomum camphora essential oil solutions with mass concentrations of 0.2%, 0.5%, 1% and 2% using agricultural emulsion 2201.

[0044] After diluting the essential oils of various mass concentrations by 100 times, the linalool essential oil dilutions of various mass concentrations were obtained.

[0045] Take a rectangular breathable mesh cover (300cm×100cm×120cm) and place a pot of cowpea seedlings at the vine-growing stage at each end of the mesh cover (each pot contains one cowpea seedling at the vine-growing stage, and the seedlings in each pot are not significantly different). Apply a 0.2% linalool essential oil solution (diluted 100 times, applied at 40mL / pot) to one pot (treatment group), and apply the same amount of water to the other pot (blank group). Then place 40 cowpea thrips in the middle of the two pots of cowpea seedlings at the vine-growing stage, allowing them to feed freely. Keep them at 26℃ and check the number of cowpea thrips on each cowpea seedling at 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h. Calculate the repellency rate according to Formula III, set 5 parallel replicates, and take the average repellency rate as the repellency rate of linalool essential oil at that concentration. Formula III: Repellency rate (%) = (Number of insects remaining in the control group - Number of insects remaining in the treatment group) / Number of insects remaining in the control group × 100%.

[0046] Next, the 0.2% linalool essential oil dilution was successively replaced with 0.5%, 1%, and 2% linalool essential oil dilutions, and the repellency rate of linalool essential oil at each concentration was obtained by processing according to the above method.

[0047] Next, the linalool essential oil was replaced in sequence with lemongrass essential oil (Jishui County Weihai Pharmaceutical Oil Factory, WH-230224), basil essential oil (Jian City Huashuo Fragrance Oil Co., Ltd., 10206025169370), and eucalyptus oil (Shanghai McLean Technology Co., Ltd., E875574), and the treatment was carried out according to the above method. The repellency rate of each plant essential oil was then calculated.

[0048] II. Experimental Results The repellency rates of various plant essential oils are shown in Table 2.

[0049] Table 2. Repellency rates of various plant essential oils

[0050] The results showed that when using plant essential oils to repel cowpea thrips, linalool essential oil and lemongrass essential oil had significant repellent effects, especially linalool essential oil, which had the best repellent effect. However, applying plant essential oils alone could not kill cowpea thrips. Furthermore, in the same essential oil experiment, the repellent effect of high-concentration essential oil was better than that of low-concentration essential oil, indicating that the essential oil liquid is easy to evaporate, resulting in a short duration of effect.

The composition is prepared by mechanically stirring an organic solvent, pesticide adjuvant, and solvent oil at 25°C until transparent, then adding a thickener dropwise and stirring until homogeneous.

[0063] Test Example 1: Field Efficacy Determination of Pesticide Compositions I. Experimental Methods The experimental plots were designed according to the National Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau standard NY / T 1464.6-2007 "Guidelines for Field Efficacy Tests of Pesticides Part 6: Control of Thrips in Vegetables with Insecticides", with each plot having an area of ​​66.7 m². 2 Each residential area is separated by a 1.2m isolation zone, and each residential area is planted with cowpea seedlings in their vine-growing stage.

[0064] Next, pesticide compositions 1 to 8 obtained in Examples 3 to 10, pesticide compositions 9 to 11 obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the composition obtained in Comparative Example 4 were diluted 100 times to obtain application solutions for each pesticide composition. Then, the root irrigation method was used to apply each pesticide composition application solution to each plot at a rate of 100 mL / plot (each pesticide composition application solution was applied to 3 plots in total, i.e., 3 parallel replicates) to obtain treatment group plots; plots that were simultaneously treated with the same amount of water served as control group plots.

[0065] Five random sampling points were taken in each community. Thrips population surveys were conducted on the tender shoots of cowpea plants before, 3 days after, 5 days after, 7 days after, and 14 days after application of pesticides. The control efficacy was calculated according to Formula IV. Formula IV: Control efficacy (%) = [1 - (number of insects in the treatment group after application × number of insects in the control group before application) / (number of insects in the treatment group before application × number of insects in the control group after application)] × 100%.

[0066] II. Experimental Results The control efficacy of each pesticide composition against cowpea thrips is shown in Table 3.

[0067] Table 3. Control efficacy of various pesticide compositions against cowpea thrips

[0068] The results showed that the combination of cyantraniliprole and plant essential oils (linalool oil or lemongrass oil) significantly improved the control efficacy against cowpea thrips. In particular, the pesticide composition 4 prepared by combining cyantraniliprole and linalool as shown in Example 6 showed significantly better control efficacy against cowpea thrips after application, and exhibited a significant synergistic effect, which was significantly better than cyantraniliprole alone (Comparative Example 1) and linalool alone (Comparative Example 2). This indicates that the pesticide composition 1 prepared in Example 6 can effectively control cowpea thrips, reduce costs and environmental pollution.
