Plant volatiles-loaded core-shell micro-nano fibers to achieve efficient and sustained bisexual attraction to pests.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chemical pesticides face significant challenges regarding their efficacy and environmental impact. Plant-based food attractants have emerged as a promising green alternative for pest control. However, their field application is limited by the short duration of effectiveness, necessitating improved carrier systems for sustained release. Electrospinning is a promising technology in this field, with core-shell fibers offering superior performance in efficient loading and sustained release compared to uniaxial fibers, highlighting their potential for further development.

Results

In this study, core-shell micro-nano fiber mats were prepared via coaxial electrospinning using multiple environmentally friendly polymers. These mats were firstly and successfully loaded with
