Abstract

AbstractBACKGROUNDConventional pesticide formulations are often inefficient because of low biological uptake after spraying. Controlled release nanopesticides can release pesticides precisely in response to specific stimuli, thereby killing pests and pathogens using the least effective concentration. This study aims to develop nanocapsule‐based photo‐decomposable nanopesticides for efficient pesticide control.RESULTSThe target nanopesticides were successfully fabricated using layer‐by‐layer assembly of the negative azobenzene‐grafted hyaluronic acid (azo‐HA) and positive polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC), confirmed by UV‐visible, dynamic light scattering, Zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy measurements. The particle size and Zeta potential of the fabricated nanocapsules were 220 nm and +46.1 mV, respectively, and the nanocapsules were found to remain stable for up to 30 days. The optimized drug loading and encapsulation ratio of imidacloprid (IMI) in IMI/azo‐HA@polyDADMAC were 21.5% and 91.3%, respectively. Cumulative release of IMI from the nanopesticides increased from ~50% to ~95% upon UV light irradiation (365 nm). The half lethal concentration (LC50) value of the nanopesticides toward Aphis craccivora Koch decreased from 2.22 to 0.55 mg L−1 upon UV light irradiation.CONCLUSIONThe trans to cis transformation of the azo group in HA decomposed IMI/azo‐HA@polyDADMAC nanopesticides upon UV irradiation, thus facilitating the release of IMI, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of pesticides required for efficient pesticide control. Our work demonstrated the great potential of light‐responsive nanocapsules as a controlled release nanocarrier for efficient and eco‐friendly pesticide control in sustainable agriculture. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
