Abstract:

The aim of this study is to clarify the filed control effect of nano-formulations of biopesticides on major rice insect pests and their increasing efficiency compared to traditional formulations. The control effects of two nano-biopesticides and several conventional pesticides on three major rice insect pests (Chilo suppressalis, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis and rice planthopper) were compared by field efficacy trials. The results showed that spinosad·dinotefuran 9.3% nano-emulsion had good control effects against three major rice pests. The control effects on the 9th day after the second application were 87.7%, 87.5%, and 95.7%, respectively. Spinosad·matrine 4.5% nano-emulsion showed excellent efficacy in controlling C. medinalis, with efficacy rates of 85.7%, 91.2%, and 80.6% in three surveys after applications, respectively, significantly higher than other treatments. However, its efficacy against C. suppressalis and rice planthoppers was poor, with the highest efficacy rates of 70.6% and 70.2% on the 9th day after second application, respectively, significantly lower than the conventional control agents of avermectin·methoxyfenozide 10% SC and pymetrozine 50% WDG in bucket mixing treatment. The results also showed that the control effect of spinosad·dinotefuran 9.3% nano-emulsion on C. suppressalis, C. medinalis and rice planthopper was 18.9%, 15.8%, and 8.1% higher than that of the traditional formulations of spinosad 10% OD and dinotefuran 20% SG treated with the same effective ingredient dosage in bucket mixing, respectively. The experimental results indicate that compared with traditional formulations, nano-formulations of biopesticides have better control effects, which are beneficial for reducing the use of pesticides and increasing efficiency. They have a bright application prospect in the prevention and control of rice pests and diseases.
