星形聚合物纳米载体负载除虫菊素后的光稳定性及对蚜虫的防治效果

    Enhancing pyrethrin photostability and aphid control efficacy by star polycation nano-carriers

    • 摘要: 除虫菊素是一种高效、低毒、环境友好的天然杀虫剂,对蚜虫具有良好的生物活性。然而,该物质在光照下易分解,导致杀虫活性降低,限制了田间应用。为提高其稳定性及药效,以星形聚合物(SPc)纳米载体构建了除虫菊素/SPc纳米药物(PY@SPc),系统评价了其表征及室内外生物活性,为除虫菊素的制剂优化提供了理论依据。结果表明:PY@SPc对除虫菊素的载药量分别为46.86% (冻干法)和44.22% (高效液相色谱法,HPLC法),包封率分别达88.44% (冻干法)和90.25% (HPLC法)。与除虫菊素溶液(PY)相比,PY@SPc的平均粒径由186.32 nm减小至72.00 nm,zeta电位由7.77 mV升高至20.20 mV,接触角由79.7°降至13.5°。紫外稳定性试验证实,PY@SPc的光解速率较PY明显减缓。室内生测结果表明,PY@SPc对麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum)的毒力效果优于PY,但无显著性差异;田间试验结果进一步显示,PY@SPc对小麦蚜虫(Sitobion avenaeRhopalosiphum padi)和花生蚜虫(Aphis craccivora)的防效显著高于PY和对照药剂10%吡虫啉可湿性粉剂(WP),且具有显著的速效性和持效性。综上, PY@SPc在分散性、稳定性、润湿性及抗紫外分解能力方面均显著高于PY,在提高蚜虫防治速效性与持效性的同时,为除虫菊素制剂配方的优化及田间推广应用提供了依据。

       

      Abstract: Pyrethrins are highly effective, low-toxicity, and environmentally friendly natural insecticides with good bioactivity against aphids. However, their susceptibility to photodegradation reduces insecticidal activity, thereby limiting field application. To enhance their stability and efficacy, the star polycation (SPc) was employed as a nanocarrier to construct a pyrethrin/SPc nano-pesticide (PY@SPc). The characteristics of PY@SPc were systematically evaluated, and its control efficacy against aphids was tested under both laboratory and field conditions. The results showed that the pesticide loading content of SPc for pyrethrin was 46.86% (freeze-drying method) and 44.22% (high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC). The encapsulation efficiency was 88.44% (freeze-drying method) and 90.25% (HPLC). Compared with the pyrethrin solution without SPc, PY@SPc exhibited a decrease in particle size from 186.32 nm to 72.00 nm, an increase in zeta potential from 7.77 mV to 20.20 mV, and a reduction in contact angle from 79.7° to 13.5°. UV stability tests confirmed that the photodegradation rate of PY@SPc was significantly slower than that of PY. Laboratory bioassays indicated that the toxicity of PY@SPc against wheat aphid (Schizaphis graminum) was higher than that of PY, but the difference was not statistically significant. Field trials further demonstrated that the control efficacy of PY@SPc against both wheat aphids (Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi) and peanut aphids (Aphis craccivora) was significantly superior to that of PY and the positive control (10% imidacloprid WP), demonstrating remarkable quick-acting and sustained activity. In summary, PY@SPc showed significant improvements in dispersibility, stability, wettability, and resistance to UV degradation. These enhanced properties not only improved both initial efficacy and duration of control against aphids, but also provided an important basis for the optimization of pyrethrin formulations and their field application.
