| Abstract |
Abstract:<br/>The facile formulation of PVP and Citrate-coated silver nanoparticles encapsulation chlorpyrifos methyl (PVP-AgNPs@CPM) and (Citrate-AgNPs@CPM) was explored against 2nd and 4th instars of Spodoptera littoralis. The new proposed scheme was developed to enhance the lethal efficiency and minimize the adverse effects to environment in comparison to CPM alone. To best of our knowledge, this is the first study on efficiency of AgNPs encapsulated pesticide against crop pests. The formation of the synthesized AgNPs@CPM was investigated and characterized by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, DLS, Zeta potential and FTIR techniques. The effects of time and temperature on the synthesized nanopesticides were examined. In addition, the effect of AgNPs@CPM on susceptibility, developmental stages and cumulative mortality of S.littoralis larvae was also studied extensively. Our findings indicate that the synthesized AgNPs@ CPM was more efficient than CPM alone and bulk AgNPs. The highest potency of PVP-AgNPs@CPM and Citrate-AgNPs@CPM were recorded against 2nd larval instar ,at 48h post treatment (PT) of the 1st day post preparation (PP), and their LC50 values were 2.5 , 2.6 ppm (~ 3.8, 3.5 folds as toxic as CPM alone) ,respectively. Both nanopesticides showed enhanced solubility however, they were found to have tendency to aggregate with time. Studying the effect of aging on AgNPs@CPM stability and toxicity has revealed that Citrate-AgNPs@CPM was stable up to 6 weeks and show thermal stability while PVP-AgNPs@CPM was highly aggregated. The toxicity decreased by 1.5, 2.3 folds at 48h PT of 3rd PP, respectively. As aggregation affect Ag ion dissolution which is considered as one of main factors of AgNPs toxicity, we can conclude that, PVP-AgNPs@CPM showed higher efficiency and less persistent thus expected to be safer to ecosystem than Citrate-AgNPs@CPM.<br/>Keywords: Nanopesticides,, Chlorpyrifos methyl, S. littoralis silver nanoparticles, Citrate-AgNPs@CPM , PVP-AgNPs@CPM, Pest control, Encapsulation. |
