Synthesis, Characterization and Bioassay of Nano Cartap Hydrochloride-An Ecofriendly Insecticide

Abstract

The common insecticide used in Cabbage and Basmati rice fields is Cartaphydrochloride(CHC). It is a low toxicity insecticide belongs to Neurotoxin. Present study aimed to synthesize a new Nano-insecticide by using polypropylene glycol(PPG) as an encapsulated agent. Nano-CHC is useful for plant disease control. Polypropylene glycol encapsulated CHC size distribution was obtained by PadeLaplace dispersion in the size range in between 60-67nm.The functional group analysis of encapsulated CHC was carried by FT-IR spectroscopy. The structural topology of encapsulated CHC was obtained by scanning electron microscope. The morphological internal structural elucidation of encapsulated CHC can be obtained by transmission electron microscope analysis. The bioactivity study was conducted and shows good efficacy results against aspergillus flavus, sclerotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani.
