Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pesticide technology, specifically to a soluble agent containing pyriproxyfen and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator that disrupts the normal growth of insects. It is a novel insecticide belonging to the juvenile hormone analogue family, and its inhibitory effect on insects is mainly manifested in affecting molting and reproduction. It possesses systemic translocation activity, a long residual effect, crop safety, and minimal impact on the ecological environment. Furthermore, pyriproxyfen has good control effects on pear psyllids, whiteflies, scale insects, diamondback moths, beet armyworms, cotton bollworms, citrus psyllids, thrips, and rice stem borers.
[0003] Dichlorvos (chemical name: O,O-dimethyl-O-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)phosphate) is a broad-spectrum, highly effective, and fast-acting organophosphorus insecticide and acaricide. Currently, it is mainly used in limited areas such as pest control on crops like rice, wheat, corn, cotton, cruciferous vegetables, cucumbers, and apples, as well as for sanitary pest control (such as mosquitoes and flies) and pest control in storage facilities.
[0004] However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks in the combined use of pyriproxyfen and dichlorvos. Because dichlorvos is highly hydrolyzable and acidic (pH 1.5-4.0), and pyriproxyfen is prone to intramolecular cyclization degradation under acidic conditions, direct combination in traditional formulations leads to pyriproxyfen decomposition. Attempts to address this issue have focused on improving the combination system, but often at the cost of reducing dichlorvos content and sacrificing its activity, failing to achieve perfect compatibility between the two. Therefore, developing a combination scheme that maintains pyriproxyfen stability without affecting dichlorvos content has become an urgent problem to solve. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a soluble agent containing pyriproxyfen and its preparation method to solve the problem that the combination of pyriproxyfen and dichlorvos leads to the decomposition of pyriproxyfen or a reduction in the content of dichlorvos.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a soluble concentrate containing pyriproxyfen, comprising, by weight: 1-10 parts of pyriproxyfen technical, 70-80 parts of dichlorvos technical, 10-20 parts of emulsifier, and 1-5 parts of stabilizer.
[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the emulsifier comprises at least one of ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, polyoxyethylene castor oil, and styrene-phenol polyoxyethylene ether.
[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the stabilizer includes at least one of butylated hydroxytoluene, tert-butylhydroquinone, and butylated hydroxyanisole.
[0009] In one optional embodiment, the mixture comprises, by weight: 10 parts of pyriproxyfen technical, 70 parts of dichlorvos technical, 15 parts of emulsifier, and 5 parts of stabilizer, wherein the emulsifier is polyoxyethylene castor oil and ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate in a mass ratio of 1-2:1, and the stabilizer is butylated hydroxytoluene.
[0010] In one optional embodiment, the mixture comprises, by weight: 5.1 parts of pyriproxyfen technical, 78.9 parts of dichlorvos technical, 14 parts of emulsifier, and 2 parts of stabilizer, wherein the emulsifier is styrene-phenol polyoxyethylene ether and polyoxyethylene castor oil in a mass ratio of 1:1-2, and the stabilizer is butylated hydroxytoluene.
[0011] In one optional embodiment, the mixture comprises, by weight: 1 part pyriproxyfen technical, 80 parts dichlorvos technical, 18 parts emulsifier, and 1 part stabilizer, wherein the emulsifier is styrene-phenol polyoxyethylene ether and ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate in a mass ratio of 1-2:1, and the stabilizer is butylated hydroxytoluene.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, the pyriproxyfen technical material contains ≥98% pyriproxyfen.
[0013] In one optional embodiment, the dichlorvos technical material contains ≥95% dichlorvos.
[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned pyriproxyfen-containing soluble concentrate, comprising the following steps: mixing pyriproxyfen technical material and dichlorvos technical material, adding emulsifier and stabilizer for emulsification, and obtaining a pyriproxyfen-containing soluble concentrate.
[0015] In one optional embodiment, the mixing speed is 300-500 rpm and the time is 10-30 min.
[0016] In one optional embodiment, the emulsification rotation speed is 300-500 rpm and the time is 10-30 min.
[0017] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. This invention provides a soluble concentrate containing pyriproxyfen, comprising, by weight: 1-10 parts pyriproxyfen technical, 70-80 parts dichlorvos technical, 10-20 parts emulsifier, and 1-5 parts stabilizer. Soluble concentrates (SL), as an important formulation of modern pesticides, have significant advantages over traditional formulations (such as emulsifiable concentrates (EC), wettable powders (WP), and powders (DP),) especially in terms of environmental friendliness, safety, ease of use, and efficacy stability. They can fundamentally solve the solvent pollution problem of traditional pesticides while improving application efficiency and safety. The soluble concentrate containing pyriproxyfen provided by this invention combines the neurotoxin dichlorvos with the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen to form a control system covering the entire life cycle of pests. Dichlorvos exerts a rapid killing effect on adult insects, knocking down mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and other sanitary pests within minutes of contact. Pyriproxyfen inhibits chitin synthesis in larvae, blocking the development of eggs and pupae, thus cutting off the reproductive chain at its source. Furthermore, the soluble concentrate is combined with emulsifiers and stabilizers, giving it good content stability under normal temperature and heat storage conditions. This allows for maintaining a high content of dichlorvos while reducing the decomposition rate of pyriproxyfen, resulting in a final soluble concentrate with good activity.
[0019] 2. This invention provides a soluble concentrate containing pyriproxyfen, comprising, by weight: 5.1 parts pyriproxyfen technical, 78.9 parts dichlorvos technical, 14 parts emulsifier, and 2 parts stabilizer. The emulsifier is a mixture of styrene-phenol polyoxyethylene ether and polyoxyethylene castor oil in a mass ratio of 1:1-2, and the stabilizer is butylated hydroxytoluene. This invention employs a specific combination of emulsifiers and a specific stabilizer to achieve a synergistic effect, resulting in good stability of the content of the active ingredients pyriproxyfen and dichlorvos in the soluble concentrate, thus ensuring good activity.
[0020] 3. This invention provides a method for preparing a pyriproxyfen-containing soluble concentrate, comprising the following steps: mixing pyriproxyfen technical and dichlorvos technical, adding an emulsifier and a stabilizer for emulsification, to obtain a pyriproxyfen-containing soluble concentrate. This preparation method represents a breakthrough in the integration of pesticide compounding technology and environmentally friendly formulations. By preparing two pesticides with different insecticidal mechanisms into a soluble concentrate, it achieves a balance between high-efficiency insecticidal activity, environmental friendliness, and operational safety.
