Research and development strategy for pesticide formulations targetting cotton diseases and insect pests in Xinjiang
Cotton is an important economic crop in China and is one of the crops most severely damaged by diseases and insect pests.At present,chemical control remains the most important pest control technology in cotton field.Xinjiang cotton region,for its typical temperate continental climate,is the largest cotton-producing area in China.It exhibits unique climate characteristics,including sufficient sunlight,high temperatures,drought,windy weather,and significant day-night temperature variations in the summer.Pesticide droplets is prone to evaporation,drift,degradation and other problems in the process of spraying,which seriously affect the effectiveness of pesticide applications.This paper summarized the effects of environmental factors such as temperature,humidity,wind,and light on pesticide application effectiveness.It also discussed domestic and international control measures for improving pesticide application efficiency.Moreover,it puts forward a new strategy for the research and development of pesticide formulations according to the specific climatic conditions in cotton fields in Xinjiang.In addition to improving the physical and chemical stability of the product,it is also necessary to comprehensively consider the physical and chemical properties of the active ingredients,the structure and wetting characteristics of cotton leaves,and the pesticide application equipment.Under the guidance of the interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge,encompassing pesticide science,plant protection science,interface chemistry,and organic chemistry,environmentally intelligent,targeted,and highly efficient pesticide formulations were developed by using advanced technology and carrier materials.Combined with supporting technologies and measures,it aims to explore efficient pesticide utilization and reduction strategies,providing scientific and technological support to achieve pesticide reduction and highly efficient utilization,thereby leading the green development of the cotton industry.
