Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus canker, a bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. (Xcc), is one of the major threats to citrus industry. Inorganic copper (Cu) formulations such as Bordeaux mixture and Kocide 3000 are currently used control canker; however, they poorly water‐soluble have negligible plant transport, making systemic treatment canker difficult. RESULTS This study synthesized Cu 2 O@His one‐pot self‐assembly 2+ histidine for controlling canker. The results showed that had...

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an economically devastating crop pest worldwide. M. (SEF-R) population of a cabbage field in China was tested for susceptibilities to 13 insecticides. Compared with the susceptible (FFJ-S), extremely high and resistance beta-cypermethrin (324-fold) imidacloprid (106.9-fold) detected SEF-R. More importantly, this first report sulfoxaflor (32.4-fold), flupyradifurone (9.5-fold), pymetrozine (34.8-fold), spirotetramat...

The traditional Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) formulations for field applications are not resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Hence, the active ingredients of Bt bioinsecticides could degrade quickly and has low anti-ultraviolet ability in field, which significantly limits its practical application. In present study, we developed an efficient stable delivery system Cry11Aa toxins. We coated proteins with Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles (MHNPs), then assessed effects MHNPs on bioactivity...

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can produce Cry proteins during the sporulation phase, and protein is effective against lepidopteran, coleopteran, dipteran insects nematodes. However, tends to be discharged into soil nontarget plants through rainwater runoff, leading reduced period toward target insects. In present study, nano-Mg(OH)2 (magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles, MHNPs) were synthesized control loss of Cry1Ac deliver Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The results showed that...

In the laboratory, an acaricide-susceptible strain of citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor) (LS-FJ), was used to screen for resistance spirotetramat. A spirotetramat-resistant (ST-NK) obtained after continuous selections through 15 selection cycles (45 generations) exhibited 1668.4-fold greater when compared parent generation. Instability spirotetramat in mites observed during 11 months under spirotetramat-free laboratory conditions. Cross-resistance spirodiclofen and spiromesifen...
