The results showed that from the 3rd to the 5th day after spraying, phorate and emamectin benzoate residues in Jinpin 70 with ball well protected reduced by 76.47%-87.65% and 67.86%-80.82% re- spectively compared with Xubao, and decreased by 9.23%-81.82% and 57.14%- 79.84% respectively compared with Jinpin 70 with ball unprotected. The results above demonstrates that inner leaves of cauliflower with ball well protected can prevent the ball from being polluted by phorate and emamectin benzoate, thereby improving its edible safety.展开更多

Release kinetics equations were used to fit the drug release behavior. The effects of particle size and release medium pH on the release rate were also investigated. The indoor toxicity of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres on the diamondback moth larva （Plutella xylostella） was studied to explore drug sustained-release performance. In acidic and neutral media, the drug release behavior of the microspheres was in accord with the first-order kinetics equation. Increasing the spray dosage of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres initially resulted in an equivalent insecticidal efficacy with the conventional emamectin benzoate microemulsion. However, the drug persistence period was four-fold longer than that observed using the conventional formulation. The developed emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres showed dramatic sustained-release performance. A treatment threshold of greater than 35 mg mL-1 was established for an efficient accumulated release concentration of emamectin benzoate-loaded microspheres.展开更多

The results showed that organosilicone significandy reduced surface tension of aqueous solution, and the surface tension was reduced to 26raN/m as the concentration of organosilicone was 0.01%. The organosilicone significantly raised expansion of liquid drops on solid surface, and the expansion diameter of 10 μL 0.01% organosilicone was 34 ram. The indoor toxicity results indicated that when addition dosage of organosilieone was 1% -5%, synergistic activity of 5% emamectin benzoate WDG with organosilicone against beet armyworm was significant, and increase extent of synergistic activity slowed down as organosilieone dosage was higher than 5%. Field experiment showed that the control efficacies of 5% emamectin benzoate WDG ＋5% organosilicone 33 mg/ L against beet armyworm were 81.57% and 82.66% after spraying for 3 and 7 d respectively, which were significandy better than treatments of 5% emamectin benzoate WDG 33 rag/L, 24% metaflumizone SC 96 mg/L, 5% chlorantranilip- role SC 33 mg/L, 20% tlubendiamide WDG 40 mg/L and 15% indoxacarb EC 43 mg/L.展开更多
