Electrospinning technology and the processing of formulations to insect sex pheromone
Insect sex pheromones have played a significant role in integrated pest management as a green alternative.To address issues of chemical instability and volatility,carrier and formulation processing technologies can be employed to maintain the effectiveness of such compounds in the field.In recent years,advancements in polymer processing and nanotechnology have introduced new concepts and methods to the green revolution of pesticides,particularly in the carrier design and formulation development of insect sex pheromones.Electrospinning,a flexible and scalable micro/nanoscale fiber processing technology,has made significant advancements in the development of insect sex pheromone carriers and the study of their release behavior.In this review,the development and application of sustained-release carriers for insect sex pheromones were discussed,and the research progress of electrospinning technology in designing these carriers and processing formulation was reviewed in detail.We also provided a future outlook to offer a reference for innovative carrier design and the efficient,precise application of insect sex pheromones.
