[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer and more concise, the invention is described using the following specific embodiments, but the invention is by no means limited to these embodiments. The embodiments described below are merely preferred embodiments of the invention and can be used to describe the invention, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the protection scope of this invention.

[0033] Composition insecticide activity assay:

[0034] (1) Test conditions and operating procedures

[0035] The active ingredient was obtained commercially available or through conventional methods. After being dissolved in acetone, the solution was diluted with distilled water to a gradient dosage. Second-instar armyworms of uniform physiological condition, kept indoors, were selected and placed into test boxes, with 10 armyworms in each box. 2-3 cm long leaves from corn plants were cut and placed in the boxes for spraying. After spraying, the lids were tightly closed, and the process was repeated three times. The highest dose containing acetone served as the control. After application, the insects were transferred to an insecticide-treated room for rearing. Results were assessed two days later, and mortality was recorded for each treatment. The mortality rate was calculated using the formula: Mortality Rate (%) = (Number of Dead Insects / Number of Test Insects) * 100.

[0036] (2) Qualitative evaluation of efficiency improvement

[0037] Toxicity was determined by setting different ratios within the selected range, and the optimal ratio was selected based on the synergistic effect. When the synergistic effect > 0, it indicates a synergistic effect; when the synergistic effect is close to 0, it indicates an additive effect; when the synergistic effect < 0, it indicates an antagonistic effect.

[0038] Enhanced efficiency = Actual mortality rate - Theoretical mortality rate

[0039] Theoretical mortality rate = 1 - (1 - P1)(1 - P2)

[0040] In the formula, P1 and P2 are the mortality rates of each individual dose in the mixture.
