Abstrakt: A study conducted by Shandong Agricultural University in China has found that using lignin-modified epoxy resin nanocarriers can enhance the effectiveness of foliar insecticides while reducing pesticide residues. The nanocarriers, which have a stable core-shell structure and slow-release properties, were loaded with avermectin and tested against Plutella xylostella. The results showed that the nanocarriers significantly prolonged the degradation time of avermectin and demonstrated enhanced insecticidal activity compared to traditional preparations. The study suggests that this technology could be particularly useful for leafy vegetable crops in arid regions or greenhouses, as it enhances effectiveness while minimizing pesticide residues.
