Preparation of a Self-Assembled Nanoantiviral Pesticide with Strong Adhesion Performance for Efficiency Control of Destructive Soybean Mosaic Virus

(SMV), a highly destructive plant virus in soybean crops. The SPc could self-assemble with seboctylamine through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, and the complexation with SPc reduced the particle size of seboctylamine to form a spherical seboctylamine/SPc complex. In addition, the contact angle of seboctylamine decreased, and its retention increased with the aid of SPc, indicating excellent wetting properties and strong leaf surface adhesion performance. The incorporation of SPc significantly inhibited viral accumulation in soybean plants and enhanced the field control efficacy of seboctylamine against SMV, resulting in improved agronomic traits. Overall, our study would contribute to facilitating a new strategy for the effective control of SMV in soybeans.
