Fabrication of sulfoxaflor-loaded natural polysaccharide floating hydrogel microspheres against Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) in rice fields.

In the present study, sulfoxaflor-loaded natural polysaccharide microspheres with optimized properties were successfully prepared. These microspheres produced a better control effect on N. lugens (Stal) compared to the use of the sulfoxaflor suspension concentrate. Their application may help promote the scientific control of target pests in rice fields. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
