　　Recently, the research group led by Researcher Wu Zhengyan at the Institute of Technical Biology and Agricultural Engineering, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a photosensitive controlled-release system. Pesticide , this technology is for achieving Pesticide On-demand supply and reduced application with enhanced efficiency provide effective technical support, which helps to promote… Pesticide Industry transformation and upgrading, as well as the development of ecological agriculture. The relevant findings have been accepted for publication in the journal Chemical Engineering Journal.
　　 Pesticide It has played an important role in maintaining stable, high agricultural yields; however, traditional… Pesticide The inability to deliver pesticides on demand results in low utilization rates and severe environmental pollution, posing a critical bottleneck that hinders the sustainable development of modern agriculture in China. There is an urgent need to address this issue through scientific and technological innovation and research and development. Pesticide Controlled-release technology.
　　The research group prepared a composite nanomaterial using nano-clay, photosensitive materials, and other components, and employed this material as a carrier to… Pesticide A photosensitive controlled-release formulation has been developed through compounding. Pesticide . This Pesticide It exhibits high sensitivity to ultraviolet–visible light (365–435 nm) and can be efficiently modulated by light. Pesticide Release, realize Pesticide On-demand provisioning significantly improves resource utilization. Meanwhile, this carrier can effectively enhance… Pesticide It enhances adhesion, prolongs drug efficacy, and exhibits excellent stability. This technology is low-cost, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly, with broad prospects for application.
