Preparation and biological activity of hollow mesoporous silica loaded tebuconazole nano sustained release granules
In this study,tebuconazole@hollow mesoporous nano silica(Teb@HMS)sustained release granules were prepared.The morphology,structure,and properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),specific surface area analyzer(BET),thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA),and other instruments.The release behavior of tebuconazole in sustained-release granules was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)analysis.The inhibitory activity of Teb@HMS on Rhizoctonia solani was determined by mycelial growth inhibition,potted experiments,and field control efficacy experiments.The safety of Teb@HMS was evaluated through rice seed germination experiments and zebrafish experiments.It was shown that the prepared drug-loaded nanosilica particles exhibited a regular hollow mesoporous structure.The drug loading rate for tebuconazole was 52.02%and the sustained release time was up to 400 hours.Meanwhile,Teb@HMS reduced the toxicity of tebuconazole to non-target rice seeds and zebrafish.The antifungal activity of Teb@HMS was significantly better than the positive control tebuconazole.On the 18th day of pot and field trails,Teb@HMS protection efficacy reached 61.79%and 70.42%,respectively.This study provides technical support and theoretical guidance for the application of hollow mesoporous nano silica sustained-release granules in pesticide reduction and green and sustainable prevention and control of plant diseases.
