Natural insecticidal products, essentially essential oils and their bioactive compounds are available as an excellent alternative method to control insect pests as well as they are less toxic to human health. However, due to their volatile constituents, encapsulation could be considered as the most suitable solution for their practical application. Therefore, this study aims to explore the insecticidal toxicity of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with essential oil against adults of . Chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method with an encapsulation efficiency 41.543.1% and loading capacity 5.24G0.28%. Results revealed that chitosan nanoparticles loaded rosemary oil exhibited interesting insecticidal toxicity towards adults in stored dates with 50.73% mortality. Overall, this work pointed out that the innovative design method based on chitosan-nanoparticles loaded rosemary oil can be promoted in integrated pest management program for stored date pests.
天然杀虫产品,主要是精油及其生物活性化合物,是控制害虫的一种极佳替代方法,而且对人体健康毒性较小。然而,由于其挥发性成分,包封可被视为其实际应用的最合适解决方案。因此,本研究旨在探索负载精油的壳聚糖纳米颗粒对[某种害虫成虫]的杀虫毒性。采用离子凝胶法制备壳聚糖纳米颗粒,包封率为41.5±4.3%,载药量为5.2±0.28%。结果表明,负载迷迭香油的壳聚糖纳米颗粒对储藏枣中的[某种害虫成虫]表现出有趣的杀虫毒性,死亡率为50.7±3%。总体而言,这项工作指出,基于负载迷迭香油的壳聚糖纳米颗粒的创新设计方法可在储藏枣害虫的综合虫害管理计划中推广。
