Abstract
The dual stimuli-responsive nanoformulations with two insecticides promise to improve insecticidal efficacy, which has yet to be developed for insect pest control. In this study, glutathione (GSH)/pH dual stimuli-responsive and chlorantraniliprole (CHL)/spinosad (SPI) double-loaded nanoformulations (DMSNs-CHL-polyethyleneimine (PEI)-SPI) are designed to manage Spodoptera frugiperda. The dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSNs)-based DMSNs-CHL-PEI-SPI exhibit a high insecticide loading content (52.03%), strong corn leave adhesion (87.63%), and enhanced insecticide release behaviors (94.53% for CHL and 57.05% for SPI at 144 h) in response to GSH and alkaline conditions. DMSNs-CHL-PEI-SPI can effectively enhance the utilization efficiency of insecticides for the dual stimuli-responsive. Bioactivity tests showed that the corn leaves sprayed with DMSNs-CHL-PEI-SPI possess higher toxicity to Spodoptera frugiperda than physical mixture and single-loaded nanoformulations with the same amount of active ingredients. DMSNs-CHL-PEI-SPI also possesses a long-term control efficacy, with ∼ 20% pest mortality on corn leaves at 21 d after spraying. In fields, two or more insecticides are usually used to control one insect pest, instead of a single active ingredient. That means the double-loaded insecticide nanoformulation is a practical tool for developing novel insecticide formulations. These results reveal that the dual stimuli-responsive and double-loaded insecticidal nanoformulations are highly promising for sustainable management of insect pests.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
