Abstract

Nanotechnology-enabled pesticide delivery systems have been widely studied and show great prospects in modern agriculture. Nanodelivery systems not only achieve the controlled release of agrochemicals but also possess many unique characteristics. This study presents the development of a pH-responsive pesticide nanoformulation utilizing hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) as a nanocarrier. The nanocarrier was loaded with the photosensitive pesticide prochloraz (Pro) and then combined with ZnO quantum dots (ZnO QDs) through electrostatic interactions. ZnO QDs serve as both the pH-responsive gatekeeper and the enhancer of the pesticide. The results demonstrate that the prepared nanopesticide exhibits high loading efficiency (24.96%) for Pro. Compared with Pro technical, the degradation rate of Pro loaded in HMSNs@Pro@ZnO QDs was reduced by 26.4% after 24 h ultraviolet (UV) exposure, indicating clearly improved photostability. In a weak acidic environment (pH 5.0), the accumulated release of the nanopesticide after 48 h was 2.67-fold higher than that in a neutral environment. This indicates the excellent pH-responsive characteristic of the nanopesticide. The tracking experiments revealed that HMSNs can be absorbed by rice leaves and subsequently transported to other tissues, indicating their potential for effective systemic distribution and targeted delivery. Furthermore, the bioactivity assays confirmed the fungicidal efficacy of the nanopesticide against rice blast disease. Therefore, the constructed nanopesticide holds great prospect in nanoenabled agriculture, offering a novel strategy to enhance pesticide utilization.

摘要

基于纳米技术的农药递送系统已得到广泛研究,并在现代农业中展现出巨大前景。纳米递送系统不仅能实现农药的控释,还具有许多独特特性。本研究提出了一种以中空介孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒(HMSNs)作为纳米载体的pH响应型农药纳米制剂的研发。该纳米载体负载了光敏农药咪鲜胺(Pro),然后通过静电相互作用与氧化锌量子点(ZnO QDs)结合。ZnO QDs既作为pH响应的守门人,又作为农药的增强剂。结果表明,所制备的纳米农药对Pro表现出高负载效率(24.96%)。与原药Pro相比,HMSNs@Pro@ZnO QDs中负载的Pro在24小时紫外线(UV)照射后的降解率降低了26.4%,表明光稳定性明显提高。在弱酸性环境(pH 5.0)中,48小时后纳米农药的累积释放量比在中性环境中高2.67倍。这表明该纳米农药具有优异的pH响应特性。追踪实验表明,HMSNs可被水稻叶片吸收,随后转运至其他组织,表明它们具有有效进行系统分布和靶向递送的潜力。此外,生物活性测定证实了该纳米农药对稻瘟病的杀菌效果。因此,构建的纳米农药在纳米农业中具有广阔前景,为提高农药利用率提供了一种新策略。
