However, the existing studies lack the exploration of the industry trends, as well as the challenges and opportunities for innovation in PGR development. Here, we analyze the dynamic trends within the PGR industry by examining key factors such as the PGR market, patent applications, scientific papers, and PGRs registrations from 2003 to 2022. Additionally, we investigate the specific effects of major agrochemicals on plants. These data will provide essential insights into the ongoing evolution and future trends of PGRs.

In interfacial polymerization, the addition of octaphenyl polyoxyethylene (OP) with different hydrophile lipophilic balances (HLBs) into the oil phase can regulate the flexibility of pyraclostrobin-loaded microcapsules (MCs). Due to differences in amphiphilicity and molecular structure, OP redistributed on the oil-water two-phases and oil-water interface. With increasing HLB, the proportion of OP entering the aqueous phase increased. Furthermore, more OP with low HLB remained in the oil phase and occupied the oil-water interface, and these OPs participated in and regulated the interfacial polymerization to increase the thickness, reduce the compactness of the shell, and increase the hydroxyl and ether bond contents in the shell. Therefore, pyraclostrobin-loaded MCs with low HLB (11.5–12.5) OP-7 exhibited flexible deformation, strong foliar adhesion, good scouring resistance, and a high control effect on peanut leaf spot, which the disease severity was 3.67. For high HLB (16), OP-21-prepared MCs with compact shells were safer to zebrafish, which the safety index was 23.81.
