20.500.12556/RUL-177171 Preparation and evaluation of pheromone slow-release dispensers of grape vine moth and brinjal fruit and shoot borer Priprava in vrednotenje počasnih feromonskih razpršilcev pri zatiranju trtnega molja in brinjalskega sadnega in poganjkovega zavijača The inclination towards pest free produce in agriculture pose a greater challenge to farmer practices. Mating disruption has become an integral component of the IPM system which interferes with insect mating. MD of Lepidopteran insects using active and passive dispensers with various pheromone loads and release patterns are reported. The longevity of passive dispensers with Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), Mesoporous Carbon spheres (MCS) and 1:1 admixture of these materials embedded with synthetic pheromones were evaluated. The synthesized MSN and Carbon spheres showed no agglomeration as evident from Zeta potential of -16.8 mv and -42.12 mv respectively. The blend of dispenser materials showed the highest EE (Entrapment efficiency) and LC (Loading capacity) with respect to the TGAIs (E, Z)-7,9-dodecadienyl acetate) and E-11 hexadecenyl acetate, in the range of 90-92% and 45–46% respectively. The residual pheromone analysis of slow-release dispensers showed 47-57% release of BFSB Pheromone and 89-90% Lobesia pheromone release in 120 days and in comparison, pheromone wax emulsions showed 80 % release in 40 days. Statistical analysis of variance showed significant difference in release of Lobesia from different dispenser materials. The high R2 for first order kinetics with 92% Entrapment efficiency supports slow release of pheromones from the selected materials. synthetic pheromone entrapment efficiency (EE) integrated pest management (IPM) mating disruption (MD) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) carbon nano-spheres (CNS) sintetični feromon učinkovitost ujetja integrirano zatiranje škodljivcev motnje parjenja mezoporozni nanodelci silicija ogljikove nanosfere true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-17 10:09:26 2025-12-17 10:09:33 2025-12-28 04:07:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 13 str. no. 4 Vol. 121 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 632 1854-1941 10.14720/aas.2025.121.4.21892 261807619 VAKKANTI+et+al.+(H).pdf VAKKANTI+et+al.+(H).pdf 1 B17E2C6F5A5ED38C3F91ECE49597DA07 12987e8ab5fcc135cec0b62369e0a31a6e152a2dc529cd7a8bdca7980af061a3 c7860e1f-db27-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224065 https://journals.uni-lj.si/aas/article/view/21892/19800 1 a9e0e208-db27-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224064 Biotehniška fakulteta Acta agriculturae Slovenica 0 0 0
