What is Adhesive Systems for Pesticide Delivery Through Plant Stems about?

An adhesive polymeric system for delivering pesticides through the stem of plants has been developed using a polymeric adhesive membrane with penetration enhancers. The active agent, imidacloprid, 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-N-nitroimidazolidin-2-ylideneamine, incorporated in either acrylic adhesive polymer or natural rubber membrane was e †ectively absorbed through the stem of the model plant, eggplant (Solanum melongena), at a controlled rate of penetration. The penetration rate across the cuticular membrane was enhanced by 5É1 times and 2É4 times with l-menthol and d-limonene, respectively, incorporated in the polymer membrane as penetration enhancers. Correspondingly, the acrylic adhesive pesticide patch with l-menthol provided the highest insecticidal activity. The present adhesive transepidermal pesticide delivery system can deliver the active agent directly to the target site as well as minimizing the excess amount of the active agent wasted throughout the non-target environment.
