The emergence and increasing intensification of insect pest resistance greatly shortens the service life of commercial insecticides. Hence, the continuous development of novel insecticides is extremely necessary. Discovering new insecticide molecules based on natural products with insecticidal activity has been a popular technique and has made outstanding contributions in this field.

The herbicide asulam is a weakly adsorbing and, thus, mobile substance. However, due to its rapid degradation, leaching to groundwater is not expected based on simulations with soil leaching models used to predict pesticide concentrations in groundwater as part of the authorization process.

At present, it is vital to develop a stable and efficient pesticide delivery system to optimize pesticide foliar utilization, which could improve control efficacy, enhance resistance to adverse climates, and prolong foliar retention. In this study, reaction monomers methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and polycaprolactone diol (PCL) were used to synthesize a polymer network structure for loading the organic phase of pesticides in a micron-reactor, then the shell was formed by sodium lignosulfonate (SL) and didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) through electrostatic self-assembly, resulting in self-assembled microcapsules and efficient pesticide loading, and the stability and efficacy were discussed.

The almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), is a significant pest of stored products globally, causing severe damage and contamination. This insect was reported to have attraction towards light and this phenomenon can be exploited for its management. Our study examined the phototactic response of male and female C. cautella to seven different wavelengths (250, 330, 410, 470, 530, 580, and 680 nm) of light across three light intensities (60, 80, and 100 lx) using light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Fusarium wilt disease caused by the soil pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici significantly impacts global tomato production. While conventional fungicides remain the primary control method, their high application volumes and environmental persistence necessitate alternative approaches. We hypothesize that magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) suppress fungal growth through a tripartite mechanism that disrupts membrane integrity at the nano-bio interface, generation of reactive oxygen species through iron-mediated catalysis, and perturbation of fungal iron homeostasis pathways.

The study of invasive plant species distribution involves changes in their ranges and ecological niches under the projected global temperature increase until 2100. However, climate modeling of habitat suitability for Reynoutria japonica in Europe remains limited, hindering risk assessment and effective management of its spread. We used the MaxEnt model to assess the potential distribution of R. japonica in 14 European countries.

Pesticides are crucial agricultural production materials that ensure global food security. However, the hydrophobic nature of most pesticides makes direct field application impossible. Existing formulations for hydrophobic pesticides encounter challenges such as inevitable complicated formulation process and low utilization efficiency, which lead to environmental pollution and ecological risk, significantly contrary to green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development.
