Application of Plant-derived Pesticides in Non-pollution Control of Fruit Diseases and Pests
Since the 1960s, the issue of pesticide pollution has gradually drawn global attention. As a result, there has been a growing focus on developing and applying low-toxicity, low-residue pesticides, with particular emphasis on biological control methods and bio-pesticides. Biological control involves using natural interactions between organisms to manage pests and weeds, including the use of predators, parasites, or microorganisms. In addition to these, bio-pesticides also encompass plant-based extracts, microbial metabolites, and other naturally occurring substances that can directly affect pests, regulate plant growth, or suppress weed development.
Bio-pesticides are mainly divided into three categories: plant-based, animal-derived, and microbial. These substances are naturally occurring, easily degraded by sunlight, soil microorganisms, or plants, and rarely accumulate in crops or the environment. This makes them an environmentally friendly option, recognized internationally as a promising alternative to traditional chemical pesticides. They offer several advantages, such as high selectivity, minimal harm to non-target species, no resistance development in pests, and diverse raw material sources. However, they also have limitations, like lower potency, slower action, and time-sensitive effectiveness in some cases.
Botanical pesticides, derived from plants, include various active compounds such as plant toxins, insect hormones, antifeedants, attractants, repellents, sterilizers, synergists, plant defensins, and endogenous plant hormones. These substances have different modes of action and are used for pest control in fruit trees and other crops.
One example is a 0.5% fruit water agent, which contains alkaloids like matrine and nicotine. It is moderately toxic and effective against a wide range of pests, including scale insects, mites, aphids, and caterpillars. It is safe for beneficial organisms and many crops but should not be mixed with other pesticides.
Nicotine, extracted from tobacco, is another widely used botanical pesticide. It acts through contact, stomach poisoning, and fumigation, and is effective against aphids, thrips, and leaf miners. It is available in formulations like 40% nicotine sulfate and 10% EC. Tobacco lime solution is also commonly used, prepared from tobacco and lime, and applied at specific dilutions.
Matrine, a compound found in Sophora flavescens, is highly effective and low in toxicity. It controls a wide range of pests, including spider mites, aphids, and caterpillars, and is safe for crops and beneficial insects.
Rotenone, extracted from leguminous plants, is known for its rapid knockdown effect and is used in fruit trees, vegetables, and tea. It is safe for humans and plants but toxic to fish and pigs.
Pyrethrin, derived from chrysanthemums, is unstable under light and heat but is effective against flies, mosquitoes, and other pests. Pyrethroid derivatives, such as deltamethrin, are more stable and widely used.
Other botanical pesticides include artemisinin, veratridine, alizarin, and triacontanol, each with unique properties and applications. These substances contribute significantly to sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management, offering eco-friendly solutions while maintaining crop productivity.
Fluorine-Containing Benzoic Acid
The Fluorine-Containing Benzoic Acid series is very common form of the fluorochemical compounds, it has many product types and derivatives. Most of products are in white crystalline powder, some of products are Colorless monoclinic prismatic crystals. It was widely used as fungicide intermediates, also used in the etching process. The Fluorine-Containing Benzoic Acid series are mostly in high value-added , less polluting products. We are trying our best to make our production dock with market to give accurate and effective services for the market .
