| Abstract | Controlled release formulation (CRF) of pesticides is highly desirable for attaining the most effective utilization of the pesticide as well as reducing environmental pollution. Due to the selective permeation and protection properties of the semi-permeable membrane, pesticide microcapsules have been widely used. In this work, we developed a novel two-step method for synthesizing highly stable silica–glutaraldehyde–chitosan composite avermectin microcapsules. The silica shell was formed through the hydrolysis and polycondensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) at the oil droplet–water interface by using TEOS as the silica precursor and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride as a surfactant. Then the silica shell was modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Chitosan nanospheres were prepared by adjusting the pH value of the solution and then cross-linking with modified silica at the surface of the silica shell in the presence of glutaraldehyde to form double-shelled avermectin microcapsules. The results showed that the resulting microcapsules had a remarkable loading ability for avermectin (about 40% w/w) and can protect avermectin against photo- and thermal degradation effectively. Compared to single-shelled microcapsules, the double-shelled ones had better controlled release properties under all conditions. The present study provides a novel CRF comprising a pesticide which is light-sensitive or high temperature-sensitive, and a method for preparing the improved pesticide formulation so that the pesticide release rate and release period could be adjusted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
