[PMID: 38394076 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The wettability of target crop surfaces affects pesticide wetting and deposition. The structure and properties of the leaf surface of litchi leaves undergo severe changes after infestation by Aceria litchii (Keifer). The objective of this study was to systematically investigate the surface texture and wettability of litchi leaves infested. RESULTS Firstly, the investigation focused on the surface structure and physicochemical properties of litchi leaves infested with Aceria litchii. Subsequently, different levels of Contact Angle (CA) were measured individually on the infested litchi leaves. Lastly, Surface Free Energy (SFE) and its polar and dispersive components were calculated using the Owens-Wendt-Rabel-Kaelble (OWRK) method. The outcomes revealed distinctive 3D surface structures of the erineum at various stages of mycorrhizal growth. At stage NO. 1, the height of the fungus displayed a peaked appearance, with the skewness value indicating a surface characterized by more crests. In contrast, at stages NO. 2 and NO. 3, the surface appeared relatively flat. Furthermore, post-infestation of litchi leaves, the CA of droplets on the abaxial surface of diseased leaves exhibited an increase, while the SFE value on the abaxial surface of leaves decreased significantly, in contrast to the abaxial surface of healthy leaves. CONCLUSION The infestation behavior of Aceria litchii changed the surface structure and chemistry of litchi leaves, which directly affected the CA value of foliar liquids and the SFE value of leaves, changing the surface wettability of litchi leaves from hydrophobic to superhydrophobic. This study provides useful information for improving the wetting and deposition behavior of liquid droplets on the surface of infested leaves. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The solid fraction of the substrate is expected to influence the bouncing behavior of an impinging droplet, thereby affecting spreading and contact time. Hence, it should be possible to alter the velocity and pressure distribution of impacting droplet, and also affect the impact velocity for droplet penetration right upon impact. SIMULATIONS We systematically investigate the impact dynamics of water droplets on pillared hydrophobic surfaces with different solid fractions using phase-field simulations. The velocity and pressure distributions of impacting droplets on pillared hydrophobic surfaces with varied Weber numbers and solid fractions are studied. In addition, the influences of the solid fraction on the bouncing behaviors of the impinging droplet, such as the maximum wetting spreading, the maximum impacting depth, and the contact time, are also investigated to further understand the impact event. FINDINGS We show that a three-peak pressure profile appears on the top of the pillared hydrophobic surface during droplet impact by varying the solid fraction of the surface. The first peak is generated by the impact of the droplet itself, while the second peak arises from the droplet recoil impact associated with the dynamic properties of the jet. Moreover, we identify a hitherto unknown third pressure peak related to the hydrodynamic singularity that emerges due to the convergence of the fluid during the droplet rebound. This solid fraction-dependent impacting behavior reveals the intricate interplay between droplet dynamics and the underlying surface characteristics, providing valuable insights into the design and optimization of micro/nano structured hydrophobic surfaces for various applications.

A multidimensional optimization strategy of pyraclostrobin-loaded microcapsules to improve the selectivity between toxicological risk in zebrafish and efficacy in controlling rice blast. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 904:166587. [PMID: 37659543 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
Developing microcapsules (MCs) delivery systems can effectively mitigate toxicological risk of highly active/toxic pesticides; whereas the controlled release functions also limiting their practical effectiveness. Therefore, designing a precise regulating strategy to balance the toxicity and bioactivity of MCs is urgently needed. Here, we prepared a series of pyraclostrobin-loaded MCs with different wall materials, particle sizes, core density and shell compactness using interfacial polymerization. The results showed that the MCs released more slowly in water with increasing particle sizes and capsule compactness, and they sunk more quickly with the increasing particle sizes and core density. Additionally, MCs with slower release speed was always accompanied with lower acute toxicity levels to zebrafish. When the release dynamics slowed down to the threshold dose on demand for disease control, facilitating settlement of MCs can further reduce toxicity within spatial and temporal dimensions. The poor accumulation of MCs with larger particle sizes or dense shell in gills was closely related to their efficient detoxification. Importantly, seven of the MCs samples possessed superior selectivity between bio-performance in controlling rice blast and toxicological hazard to fish compared to commercial formulations. The results provide a comprehensive guidance for developing an efficient and safe pesticide delivery system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effective deposition of pesticide droplets on a target leaf surface is critical for decreasing pesticide application rates. The wettability between the target leaf surface and the pesticide spray liquid should be investigated in depth, with the aim of enhancing the adhesion of pesticide solutions. The wetting and deposition behavior of pesticides on target leaves depends on the properties of the liquid and the physical and chemical properties of the leaves. The physical and chemical properties of leaves vary with growth stage. This study aims to investigate the wetting behavior of banana leaf surfaces at different stages. RESULTS The microstructures and chemical compositions of banana leaf surfaces at different stages were studied using modern methods. The surface structure of banana leaves exhibited a wide variety of characteristics at different growth stages, and the chemical composition changed marginally. The surface free energy (SFE) and polar and non-polar components of banana leaves at different growth stages were measured by examining the contact angles (CA) of different test solutions on the surface of banana leaves. Previous research has suggested that changes in the CA and SFE correlate with changes in leaf surface wettability. In general, the new upper leaves of banana trees are composed of polar components and exhibit hydrophobicity. Non-polar components become dominant as the leaf grows. The back surface of banana leaves was non-polar at all growth stages, with a trend that was opposite to that of the front surface. The critical surface tension of the banana leaf surface at different growth stages ranged from 7.83 to 24.22 mN m-1 , thus falling into the category of a low-energy surface. CONCLUSION The surface roughness and chemical characteristics of banana leaves affected the wettability of the leaf surface. Differences in the free energy and the polar and non-polar components of the leaf surface at were seen at different growth stages. This study provides a favorable reference for the rational control of pesticide spraying parameters and the enhancement of wetting and adhesion of the solution on banana leaf surfaces. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Self-assembly of eugenol-loaded particles to regulate the adhesion of carriers on leaves for efficient foliar applications and ecotoxicological safety. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 267:115602. [PMID: 37897976 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Currently, there is a pressing need to develop an agrochemical-loaded system that is both uncomplicated and efficient, thereby enhancing the adhesion of agrochemical to leaf surfaces and optimizing their insecticidal efficacy, while concurrently mitigating environmental risks. The flexible eugenol-loaded particles were synthesized via a one-step polyurethane self-assembly reaction, utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the soft segment and 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) as the hard segment. The increase in the length of the soft segment enhances the flexibility of the particles, thereby improving the contact area and adhesion with the foliar surface. When flexible particles are applied on the foliar surface, they can achieve satisfactory resistance to rainfall erosion. When the PEG molecular weight is 800, the residual concentration of eugenol can still reach 42.11% after 6 washes. The carrier protects the active ingredients and improves the resistance to ultraviolet irradiation. After 5 h of ultraviolet irradiation, the concentration of eugenol remained at 59.03% when PEG with a molecular weight of 200 was employed. Greenhouse experiments showed that the flexible transformation of particles greatly enhanced the application effect of spray on the foliar surface of particles. After undergoing three washes, the mortality of the particles can be enhanced by 5.4-8.4 times compared to that of emulsion concentrate (EC) sample. The enhancement of leaf retention performance reduces environmental risks caused by pesticide loss. Meanwhile, the controlled release of particles also reduces the acute toxicity to zebrafish. The toxicity selection pressure of the EUG@P800-Ps sample is 10.6 times that of the EC sample. In conclusion, the preparation process of the system is simple, and the flexible transformation is an effective strategy to improve the foliar application effect of spray and improve the environmental safety.

Abstract
Deposition of high-speed droplets on inverted surfaces is important to many fundamental scientific principles and technological applications. For example, in pesticide spraying to target pests and diseases emerging on abaxial side of leaves, the downward rebound and gravity of the droplets make the deposition exceedingly difficult on hydrophobic/superhydrophobic leaf underside, causing serious pesticide waste and environmental pollution. Here, a series of bile salt/cationic surfactant coacervates are developed to attain efficient deposition on the inverted surfaces of diverse hydrophobic/superhydrophobic characteristics. The coacervates have abundant nanoscale hydrophilic/hydrophobic domains and intrinsic network-like microstructures, which endow them with efficient encapsulation of various solutes and strong adhesion to surface micro/nanostructures. Thus, the coacervates with low viscosity achieve high-efficient deposition on superhydrophobic abaxial-side of tomato leaves and inverted artificial surfaces with a water contact angle from 170° to 124°, much better than that of commercial agricultural adjuvants. Intriguingly, the compactness of network-like structures dominantly controls adhesion force and deposition efficiency, and the most crowded one leads to the most efficient deposition. The tunable coacervates can help comprehensively understand the complex dynamic deposition, and provide innovative carriers for depositing sprayed pesticides on abaxial and adaxial sides of leaves, thereby potentially reducing pesticide use and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Pesticide residue has become the main technical barrier that restricts the export of Chinese wolfberry. Can we achieve high efficacy and low safety risk by balancing pesticide deposition on the leaves and fruits of Chinese wolfberry? In this research, the structural characteristics and wettability of leaves and fruits of Chinese wolfberry at different growth stages were studied. The adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves were hydrophobic, whereas the fruit surfaces were hydrophilic. Adding spray adjuvant could increase the retention of droplets on the leaf surfaces of Chinese wolfberry by 52.28-97.89% and reduce the retention on the fruit surfaces by 21.68-42.14%. A structural equation model analysis showed that the adhesion tension was the key factor affecting the retention of the solutions among various interface behaviors. When the concentrations of Silwet618, AEO-5, Gemini 31551, and 1227 were 2-5 times higher than their CMCs, the retention of pesticide solutions (pyraclostrobin and tylophorine) on Chinese wolfberry leaves significantly increased, and the control efficacies on aphids and powdery mildew also dramatically improved (65.90-105.15 and 41.18-133.06%, respectively). Meanwhile, the retention of pesticides on the fruit of Chinese wolfberry was reduced. This study provides new insights into increasing the utilization of pesticides in controlling pests and improving food safety.

Abstract
The deposition and spreading of pesticide droplets on the surface of plants is a severe challenge to precise pesticide application, which directly affects the pesticide utilization rate and efficacy. Cotton harvest aids are widely used in machine-picked cotton but the effect of formulation and concentration on the droplet behavior and defoliation effect of cotton defoliants is not clear. To clarify the influence of formulation and concentration on the droplet behavior of cotton defoliants, four formulations (suspension concentrate (SC), water dispersible granule (WG), oil dispersion (OD), and wettable powder (WP)) of cotton defoliants were used to prepare different concentrations of harvest aid solutions, according to the spraying volume. The physicochemical properties, droplet impact, and spreading and deposition behavior were studied. The results indicated that the four kinds of harvest aids have good physicochemical properties and can be wet and spread on cotton leaves. The surface tension of the high-concentration harvest aid solution (the spraying volume was less than 1.2 L/667 m2) was increased, which increased the contact angle and reduced the adhesion tension, adhesion work, and the spreading area. Once the harvest aid solution systems impacted the cotton leaves, it could spread to the maximum in a short time (10 ms). The field experiment showed that the droplet spectrum of harvest aids changed slightly, the coefficient of variation (CV) did not exceed 50%, and the defoliation rate was better when the spraying volume was 1.5 L/667 m2. The correlation and principal component analysis showed that the spraying volume (concentration) and coverage were negatively correlated with the defoliation rate, while the viscosity, diffusion factor, and spreading rate were positively correlated with the defoliation rate. Overall, the use of appropriate spraying volume application in cotton fields can improve the performance of spray, increase the effective deposition and wetting spread of defoliants on cotton leaves, further reduce the dosage of defoliants, and improve pesticide utilization. These results can provide a theoretical basis for the scientific preparation and spraying of cotton harvest aid solutions.
