Management of the rice brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens Stål is challenging because it can rapidly adapt to new pesticides within several generations. Combined use of chemical insecticides and antimicrobials was proposed as an alternative strategy to control N. lugens. Our previous experiments identified two effective agents (chemical insecticide: pymetrozine and antimicrobial: zhongshengmycin) that act on different targets in N. lugens. However, conditions and effectiveness of combinations of antimicrobials and insecticides against N. lugens are still unknown. Here, we evaluated separate and combined effects of pymetrozine and zhongshengmycin on third instar nymphs of N. lugens under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Results showed that zhongshengmycin exerts significant inhibitory effects on the three endosymbionts Pichia guilliermondii, Cryptococcus peneaus, and Pichia anomala cultured in vitro of N. lugens. Combinations of pymetrozine and zhongshengmycin under laboratory conditions produced additive or synergistic effects on N. lugens and caused higher mortality in third instar nymphs than either of them used alone. Experiments under greenhouse conditions further demonstrated that effective component quality ratio of pymetrozine to zhongshengmycin of 1:10 and 1:40 with co-toxicity coefficients of 221.63 and 672.87, respectively, also produced significant synergistic effects against N. lugens. Our results indicated that chemical insecticides combined with antimicrobials may provide a potential novel strategy for controlling N. lugens by inhibiting its endosymbionts.

Environmental context Photodegradation, a natural process for removing pesticides from water, is particularly important in rice fields with their large surface area and sunlight exposure. By studying two commonly used pesticides, we show that the properties of rice field water, such as dissolved organic matter, facilitate indirect photolytic processes while reducing direct photolysis. A better understanding of the natural degradation mechanisms for pesticides will inform their safer use in agriculture. Rice paddy fields (RFs) make ecologically important contributions to agricultural wetland ecosystems in south China. In recent years, the elevated use of pesticides has resulted in concerns over the water quality in RFs and their downstream aquatic environment. Photodegradation is important for the natural elimination of nonpoint source agricultural contaminants, and RF water provides an ideal environment for the photochemical removal of pesticides, owing to its large surface area and photic conditions. Therefore, in this study, the physical and photochemical properties of water collected from the irrigation area were investigated, along with the direct and indirect photodegradation of two commonly used pesticides in RFs, tricyclazole (TC) and pymetrozine (PYM). Results indicated that allochthonous-like dissolved organic matter (DOM) was abundant in the irrigation water, possibly originating from the decomposition of rice straw. Moreover, the light screen effect and the formation rate of singlet oxygen (1O2) and the triplet excited state of DOM (3DOM*) were generally increased in RF water, while the formation of HO• was marginally reduced. Evapoconcentration and photobleaching processes were found to correlate with crop leaf coverage and had a significant impact on the levels and compositions of water constituents. Finally, the photodegradation kinetics of TC and PYM further confirmed that RF water would facilitate indirect photolysis and reduce the direct photolysis of pesticides.

Carbamate (CB) pesticides possess potential carcinogenic and mutagenic activities towards humans even at very low dosages. Thus, broad-specificity probes with high sensitivity and speed are needed for multiple CB determination. This study is the first to focus on Dy3+ ions-coordinated self-assembly on a silica core using a surface imprinting procedure, for the simultaneous fluorometric detection of residues of metolcarb (MC) and pirimicarb (PC) insecticides. A simple and mild solvothermal method was applied for the preparation of fluorescent imprinted microspheres starting from 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen)-ligated Dy3+ ions to guide imprinted self-assembly of chitosan (CTS), glutaraldehyde (GA), and two carbamate pesticides (MC and PC) on the silica surface by means of coordinate bonds and hydrogen bonds. The as-prepared microspheres displayed strong fluorescence emissions via the antenna effect derived from the Phen ligand and the Schiff base oligomers for sensitizing the Dy3+ ions. An expanded in-depth mechanism study was performed on the fluorescence enhancement involving Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the pesticides (donor) to the acceptor. A linear increase in fluorescence at 483 nm for MC and 574 nm for PC upon the imprinted microspheres was observed under the same 350 nm excitation wavelength. Moreover, the quantitative recognition process could be carried out simultaneously and tolerate strong distractions both from five other similar carbamate insecticides and from complicated matrices (e.g., an extract of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat). The detection limit was 4 ng mL−1 with a range of 10–60 ng mL−1 for MC and 0.4 ng mL−1 with a range of 1–30 ng mL−1 for PC. Further characterization of the material, including TEM, SEM, XPS, and FTIR, Raman, and fluorescence spectra, verified that the Dy3+ ions play a decisive role in promoting imprinted self-assembly around the silica core. Hence, a novel polynuclear Ln–organic imprinted probe having high selectivity, stability, and sensitivity for the detection of two carbamate insecticides is presented in this study.

A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with simultaneous electropolymerisation of L-lysine (L-lys) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) film (P-β-CD-L-lys/GCE) is proposed as a novel electrochemical platform for the detection of pymetrozine. The electrochemical activity of P-β-CD-L-lys/GCE towards pymetrozine was investigated using cyclic voltammetry experiments in 0.1 M H2SO4. The potential utility of the sensor was demonstrated by applying it to the analytical determination of pymetrozine concentration using linear sweep voltammetry. The linear in the range of 4.0 × 10−8 to 1.0 × 10−6 mol L−1. The detection limit of pymetrozine was found to be 1.3 × 10−8 mol L−1 (S/N = 3). Using this method, we successfully got satisfactory results of pymetrozine in real sample analysis. This work promoted the potential applications of amino acid materials and β-cyclodextrin in environmental analytical chemistry.

Herein, we report a simple fluorescence-enhanced system for the selective recognition and determination of the insecticide pymetrozine. 1 H NMR spectroscopic data indicate that 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) is partially encapsulated in the cavity of the cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) in aqueous solution, forming a stable 1:2 host-guest inclusion complex. Good evidence is also provided by other characterization techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. This host-guest inclusion complex shows weak fluorescence in aqueous solution. Interestingly, the addition of pymetrozine greatly enhanced the fluorescence of the host-guest inclusion complex. In contrast, no significant fluorescence enhancement was observed on addition of 10 other pesticides. The concentration of pymetrozine in aqueous solution was easily detected based on the linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and pymetrozine concentration. Therefore, this paper reports a new method to identify and determine pymetrozine by fluorescence enhancement.

This study aims to apply multivariate analysis algorithms for modeling the same spectra, for simultaneous determination of pymetrozine and carbendazim residues in apple. To mitigate the impact of competitive adsorption, SERS spectra are obtained from mixed solutions of pymetrozine and carbendazim at varying concentration ratios, which are then utilized for modeling. Results suggest that the PLSR model based on full-band SNV processed spectra shows the best performance for predicting pymetrozine and carbendazim contents, with R2 p of 0.9751 and 0.9779, RMSEP of 0.0492 and 0.5531 mg/L, RPD of 6.4297 and 6.8246, respectively. This model yielded R2 p of 0.9644 and 0.9671, RMSEP of 0.0747 and 0.8247 mg/L, RPD of 5.3857 and 5.6066 for pymetrozine and carbendazim in apple, respectively. The findings suggest that the proposed approach is suitable for simultaneous detection of pymetrozine and carbendazim in apples, offering a novel avenue for monitoring food safety.

Pymetrozine is widely used in agriculture to control pests, and its residue may pose a threat to humans. In this study, the adsorption behavior of pymetrozine on Au@AgNPs surfaces in different solutions was investigated by calculation of ACD/Labs, density functional theory, UV–vis spectra, zeta potential and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Then, a SERS method for detection of pymetrozine residues in apples was established based on the adsorption study. The results showed that pymetrozine was adsorbed on Au@AgNPs surface in different forms in various solutions and high SERS sensitivity of pymetrozine was obtained by the synergistic effect of pymetrozine, Au@AgNPs and NaOH. A simple SERS method has been established to detect pymetrozine in apples with a LOD of 0.038 mg/kg, linear range of 0.05–1.00 mg/kg, recovery of 71.93–117.49 % and RSD low than 11.70 %. This study provides a reference for rapid detection of pymetrozine in agricultural products.

Flonicamid is an insecticide with a unique mode of action, primarily inhibiting the feeding behavior of sap-sucking insects. However, its molecular target remains controversial. Reports indicate that both flonicamid and pymetrozine affect insect behavior and mobility. To investigate further, we compared the susceptibility of three insect species ( Myzus persicae , Nilaparvata lugens , and Drosophila melanogaster ) to flonicamid and pymetrozine under two different feeding postures. Results showed that feeding posture did not affect the survival curves or mean lifespans of the three insects. However, insect lifespans were significantly reduced under exposure to either insecticide compared to untreated controls. The effects of the two insecticides on susceptibility and lifespan under different feeding postures were markedly different: feeding posture significantly influenced the sensitivity of aphids, planthoppers, and fruit flies to pymetrozine but had minimal effects on the sensitivity of aphids and planthoppers to flonicamid. Flonicamid had only a minor impact on fruit flies' sensitivity. Survival curve analysis also revealed significant differences under pymetrozine stress, while no such differences were observed under flonicamid stress. These findings indicate that flonicamid exerts different toxicological effects on target insects (aphids and planthoppers) versus non-target insects (fruit flies), depending on feeding posture. This suggests that the toxicological mechanisms of flonicamid differ substantially between target and non-target organisms, with implications that findings in non-target insects may not directly apply to target pests. Our study provides valuable insights and directions for further research into flonicamid's mode of action, aiding in elucidating its underlying mechanisms.

Current calibration models based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) spectra data for pesticide residue detection in foods demonstrate excellent species-specific performance, yet their cross-species applicability remains challenging. This study aimed to build a universal model suitable for in situ detection of pymetrozine residues on two different vegetable species. SERS spectra of cabbage and Chinese cabbage leaves contaminated with pymetrozine were collected, and species-specific and universal models were constructed based on the spectral data using the partial least-squares regression algorithm. The results suggested that species-specific models demonstrated strong predictive performance for estimating the pymetrozine residue concentrations on a specific vegetable but limited accuracy when applied to another vegetable species. However, the universal model exhibited excellent performance for both vegetable species, with an correlation coefficient of prediction set (Rp2) and root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) values of 0.9637 and 0.6225 mg/L for cabbage and 0.9621 and 0.6362 mg/L for Chinese cabbage, respectively. The findings of the study indicate that the universal model is suitable for in situ detection of pymetrozine residue concentrations on two different vegetable species.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for simultaneous detection of multiple pesticides in food samples remains a challenge due to the competitive absorption of multiple analytes on SERS substrate. Herein, a combined method of DFT calculation and SERS experiment was utilized to explore the competitive adsorption of thiabendazole and pymetrozine on silver surface. Subsequently, a SERS method was developed for simultaneous detection of thiabendazole and pymetrozine residues in apples. The simulated parameters of pesticide molecules adsorbed on silver cluster showed that competitive adsorption occurred between thiabendazole and pymetrozine on silver surface, which was further validated by the SERS intensities of single and mixed pesticide solutions. The SERS method was successfully established, featuring a satisfactory linearity range of 1.0–30 and 0.5–15 mg/L with the LOD of 0.9 and 0.4 mg/L for thiabendazole and pymetrozine in apple sample, respectively, and the average recovery was 80.02–120.73 %. The findings not only provide a valuable reference for the investigation of competitive adsorption but also offer a reliable method for the simultaneous detection of multiple pesticide residues in food samples.

Acetamiprid and pymetrozine are effective pyridine insecticides used to kill aphids and whiteflies in agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables and rice, whose residues pose a serious threat to human health. Herein, the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) modified by β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) and nano-CuO (named as β -CD/CuO@AgNPs) were synthesized and it was used as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate to determine acetamiprid and pymetrozine. Among four SERS substrates such as AgNPs, β -CD/AgNPs, CuO@AgNPs and β -CD/CuO@AgNPs, β -CD/CuO@AgNPs exhibited the most substantial enhancement of the Raman signals for acetamiprid and pymetrozine, with the enhancement factors (EFs) of 2.16 × 10 6 and 3.86 × 10 6 , respectively. The XRD, TGA, TEM, HAADF-STEM, UV–vis and FT-IR were used to characterize β -CD/CuO@AgNPs and the combination of the substrate with acetamiprid/pymetrozine. Single factor experiment and response surface method were used to optimize pH, dosage of coagulant and nanosubstrate and mixing time. The influences of various interfering substances on the detection system were studied. The excellent linear relationships were respectively established for acetamiprid and pymetrozine in the range of 6.67 × 10 −9 –6.67 × 10 −7 and 1.00 × 10 −8 –1.00 × 10 −6 mol L −1 , with the limits of detection (LODs) were 0.36 and 0.94 nmol L −1 (S/N = 3). This project was successfully used for the detection of acetamiprid and pymetrozine in apple, pear and peach samples. The recoveries in the fruit samples were in the range of 95.5 %–105.0 %.

This work aims to isolate and detect pesticide (carbendazim) residue in real food samples: orange juice and kale leaves. The combination of on-chip thin layer chromatography (TLC) and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy was used for the separating and detecting of carbendazim (MBC) from the complex food sample. In order to achieve on-site detection of MBC from real food sample, the portable Raman spectrometer was coupled with TLC-SERS. The porous stationary phase composed of diatomite biosilica is beneficial for SERS enhancement and eluent migration. The experiments exhibited that the diatomite chip was suitable for TLC separation and has not shown SERS background and provided excellent separation efficiency, 10 −8 M silver colloids were appropriate for the SERS measurement on TLC chip. The food sample was directly spotted onto the diatomite chip for TLC separation without any pretreatment. The separation and detection process were finished in less than 5 min, the mixture of pyrimethanil , pymetrozine and MBC could be distinguished simultaneously by TLC-SERS at one diatomite chip. The MBC in orange juice and kale were successfully detected, and a limit of detection (LOD) less than 2 ppm could be achieved.
