Preparation of Multifunctional Nano-Protectants for High-Efficiency Green Control of Anthracnose.

ABSTRACT: Nanomaterials cannot only act as active ingredients (AIs), but also adjuvants to encapsulate or attach AIs to improve their fungicidal activity. Herein, a hydrophilic and lipophilic diblock polymer (HLDP) is designed and synthesized to prepare a series of HLDP nano-protectants to explore the best HLDP nano-protectant for anthracnose management. These results demonstrate that the HLDP-CS nano-protectant displays the best control effects on mango anthracnose via the direct pathogen inhibition and amplified plant immune responses. The HLDP can be spontaneously conjugated with CS into nanoscale spherical particles through hydrophobic interaction. The complexation of CS with HLDP remarkably improves the deposition and adhesion of CS droplets on mango leaves. The HLDP can interact with mycelium
