Synergistic Effects of Graphene Oxide and Pesticides on Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda.

ABSTRACT: Fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda, a native insect pest in tropical and subtropical America, has rapidly spread to most parts of China and become a major pest of corn and other crops since invading in early January 2019. As an emergency and important control measure, chemical control of S. frugiperda has the advantages of quick effect and low cost. However, long-term and large-scale use of pesticides might pollute the environment and increase pest resistance. By improving the control effect and reducing the dosage of chemical pesticides, graphene oxide (GO) is used synergistically with insecticides to increase control efficacy to achieve low-cost and sustainable management of insect pests as a new type of synergist. In this study, graphene oxide was compounded with insectic
