Abstract
Controlled release system has been widely developed and utilised in agriculture to optimise efficacy and minimise environmental pollution. Here, the azoxystrobin and difenoconazole compound pesticide microsphere was constructed by the solvent evaporation method. Blending poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) as shells, in order to increase its entrapment efficiency and match the goal of complex synergism. The resulting microsphere processes high entrapment efficiency with a mean diameter of 7.2 μm. Acute toxicity suggested microsphere on zebrafish was moderate toxicity. Comparative studies revealed that the microsphere had a longer period of sustained release than difenoconazole–azoxystrobin (5:8) 32.5% w/v suspension concentrate (SC). In addition, the concentration ratio of active ingredients closed to the optimum compound stoichiometry, which can achieve the objective of improving the efficacy of the pesticides. These results demonstrated that such a compound pesticide microsphere delivery system may be a considerable potential for further exploration.
