Product_introduction
agriculture
It has the functions of repelling, repelling, and inhibiting the growth and development of insects. For example, for pests such as cabbage caterpillar and diamondback moth, Triptolide can significantly reduce their feeding amount, hinder their growth and development, and lower their pupation and eclosion rates. Its mechanism of action may involve interfering with the normal physiological functions of insects by affecting their nervous, endocrine, or digestive systems.
It also has an inhibitory effect on some plant pathogens, which can inhibit the growth of fungal hyphae, spore germination, and toxin production, thereby reducing the occurrence of plant diseases. For example, it has a good inhibitory effect on rice blast fungus, wheat Fusarium graminearum, etc. Its mechanism of action may be related to the destruction of bacterial cell membrane structure and interference with bacterial metabolic processes.
Due to its excellent insecticidal and bactericidal activity, as well as being a natural product that is relatively environmentally friendly, it has certain potential in the research and development of biopesticides. However, its application in agricultural production is relatively limited at present, mainly due to its high extraction cost and certain limitations on large-scale production and application. In the future, it is necessary to further optimize the extraction process, reduce costs, and strengthen research on its application in the field to better play its role in agricultural pest control.
