Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved virulence of silica microcapsules against locusts, suggesting a green approach for pest control.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a sustainable method for synthesizing porous hollow silica microcapsules to improve pesticide effectiveness.
  • Developed a green synthesis method using a choline-based ionic liquid as solvent and template.
  • Synthesized porous hollow silica microcapsules with a chlorantraniliprole loading of 47.17%.
  • Conducted laboratory bioassays and persistence trials with locust nymphs and toxicity assessments on plants and zebrafish.
  • The microcapsules significantly improved the photostability of chlorantraniliprole, increasing its UV half-life from 0.89 to 1.27 h.
  • Laboratory bioassays revealed higher virulence against Locusta migratoria manilensis nymphs compared to technical-grade chlorantraniliprole.
  • Persistence trials indicated superior efficacy of microcapsules over a commercial suspension concentrate within a 7-day period.
