The present invention belongs to the field of agricultural plant protection, and particularly relates to a pesticide composition having improved performance, in particular to a pesticide composition containing thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid.
Thidiazuron, a novel efficient plant growth regulator, can promote natural fall of separating tissues between petioles and stems after being absorbed by plants, and can be widely applied to pesticides and fertilizers. Thidiazuron with extremely high bioactivity is many times higher than common cytokinins in ability of inducing plant cell division and callus formation. Thidiazuron improves the absorbing ability and increases photosynthesis of crops so as to achieve the purposes of increasing production and high-quality crops. Thidiazuron can be either used for crops, such as melons, fruits, vegetables, nursery stocks, flowers and plants, cereals, and tobacco, or used for tissue culture, genetic engineering and the like. Thidiazuron can improve the crop output and improve the quality obviously in production, is small in dose and free of pollution to ecological environment, and has the characteristics of being non-toxic to human, livestock, birds, honeybees, natural enemies and the like.
Polyglutamic acid, also called natto gum and poly-1-glutamic acid, is a water soluble, biodegradable and non-toxic biomacromolecule prepared by a microbiological fermentation method. Polyglutamic acid is a class of homogeneous polyamino acids formed by polymerizing glutamic monomers through amido bonds and has the advantages of excellent biodegradability, super adsorbability, non-toxicity and the like. Added into a compound fertilizer, polyglutamic acid has multiple functions of reducing nutrient loss of the fertilizer, improving the utilization ratio of the fertilizer, regulating plant growth and the like. Polyglutamic acid has an obvious application effect on plants such as rice, wheat, maize, vegetables, fruit trees and flowers and plants, and can improve the crop output obviously.
It has been shown by actual pesticide experience that repeated and single application of an active compound to prevent and treat harmful fungi will lead to rapid selectivity of fungi strains in many cases. In order to reduce the risk of selectivity of resistant fungi strains, a mixture of different active compounds is usually used to prevent and treat harmful fungi at present. Resistance generation can be delayed by combining the active compounds with different mechanisms of action, so that the application amount is reduced and the prevention and treatment cost is lowered.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a pesticide composition having a synergism effect so as to promote growth of crops and improve disease resistance and output of the crops. It is found by the inventors that thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid have an obvious synergism effect in regulating or promoting growth of plants.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a plant growth regulator composition comprising effective components A and B and application of the plant growth regulator composition in regulating and promoting growth of crops in an agricultural field.
The objectives of the present invention can be achieved by the following measures:

The weight ratio of the active component A to the active component B is 1:(0.01-200). In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the active component A to the active component B is 1:(0.011-180), further preferably 1:(0.0125-180) or 1:(0.012-170) to make the action effect more obvious.

Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is primarily formed by polymerizing D-glutamic acid and L-glutamic acid through amido bonds. As a result of different polymerizing modes, polyglutamic acid primarily comprises two configurations: α-polyglutamic acid (polymerized through α-amido bonds, α-PGA) and γ-polyglutamic acid (polymerized through γ-amido bonds, γ-PGA). Polyglutamic acid in the present invention is in a form of γ-polyglutamic acid, abbreviated as polyglutamic acid (a structural formula of polyglutamic acid is shown as follows) in the present invention.
It is found by the inventors through tests that the composition of the present invention can be used for better regulating growth of crops, promoting health benefit of crops and improving the crop output.
The present invention provides use of the composition comprising the component A (thidiazuron) and the component B (polyglutamic acid) in regulating growth of crops in an agricultural field, in particular use of the composition in regulating growth, improving disease-resistant effect and the like in the aspects of rice, wheat or fruit trees.
In order to give full play to advantageous effects of the composition of the present invention, the composition of the present invention may be also mixed with other pesticides (for example, a bactericide, an insecticide, a herbicide and a plant growth regulator), fertilizers and the like for use. These pesticides or fertilizers mixed with the composition are common pesticides or fertilizers used in the prior art.

The composition may particularly comprise a pesticide adjuvant, for example, one or more of a carrier, a solvent, a dispersant, a wetting agent, a tackifier, a thickener, an adhesive, a surfactant and the like. The composition may be mixed with common adjuvants in the application progress.
Proper adjuvants may be solids or liquids which are usually common substances used in a dosage form processing course, for example, a natural or regenerated mineral substance, a solvent, a dispersant, a wetting agent, a tackifier, a thickener, an adhesive or a fertilizer.
An application method of the composition of the present invention comprises applying the composition of the present invention to overground parts of growing plants, in particular, leaves or leaf surfaces. The composition may be used for soaking seeds or may be smeared to the surface of an object needing protection and treatment. Growing places of plants, for example, rice fields, may be soaked with a liquid preparation of the composition, or the composition may be applied to soil in a form of solid, for example, the composition may be applied to soil in a form of particles. The composition may enter plant bodies (systemic action) via roots of the plants from soil.
These compositions either may only comprise the active components for application or may be mixed with additives (pesticide adjuvants) for use.
The composition of the present invention may be prepared into a dosage form acceptable in pesticide, such as an aqueous solution, a suspending agent, a soluble liquid, an oil suspending agent, water dispersible granules, a microemulsion, wettable powder and the like. The compositions may be applied by spraying, atomizing, powder spraying, sowing or splashing in accordance with properties of the compositions, purposes achievable by applying the compositions and environmental conditions.
The composition of the present invention can be prepared into various dosage forms by means of known methods. The active components and the adjuvant, for example, a solvent and a solid carrier may be uniformly mixed with a surfactant and ground if needed to prepare needed dosage forms.

The above solid carrier, for example, for the wettable powder and a dispersant is usually a natural mineral filler such as talc, kaolin, montmorillonite or activated clay. In order to manage physical properties of the composition, highly dispersible silicic acid or a highly dispersible adsorption polymer carrier, for example, a granular adsorption carrier or a non-adsorption carrier, may be also added. The proper granular adsorption carrier is, for example, pumice stones, bentonite or bentonite. The proper non-absorption carrier is, for example, calcite or sand. In addition, a lot of inorganic or organic materials prefabricated to granules may be used as carriers, in particular, dolomite.

II. Pesticide Effect Verification Test
(I) Bioassay Examples
1. Comprehensive Assay Test of Compounding Thidiazuron and Polyglutamic Acid on Growth Regulation of Indica
Thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid were diluted with acetone according to a certain concentration and were sprayed to stems and leaves of crops, and influence of concentrations on growth of crops is assayed in the field, including comprehensive evaluation on plant height, spike number, setting percentage, disease-resistant condition, yield condition and the like of the crops.
Plant height control rate=(plant height of a clean water control group-processed plant height)/plant height of the clean water control group*100%
Spike number increase ratio=(processed plant spike number-plant spike number of a clean water control group)/plant spike number of the clean water control group*100%
Setting percentage=filled grain number per spike/total grain number per spike*100%
Prevention effect=(disease index of a clean water control group-processed disease index)/disease index of the clean water control group*100%
Yield per mu increase ratio=(processed yield per mu-yield per mu of a clean water control group)/yield per mu of the clean water control group*100%
It is found by the inventors through experiments that thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid play a good synergistic promoting role. The compounded thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid in different proportions are obvious in regulating growth of indica compared with individual thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid as well as the clean water control group. The compounded thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid has the main advantages that 1, thidiazuron as the plant growth regulator can promote plant cell division and plant growth, and in the process, rice needs to absorb more nutrients (such as fertilizers, amino acids, humic acid and other nutritional organic matters) from outside to meet the plant growth, and polyglutamic acid as a metabolite of beneficial bacteria can serve as a fertilizer to provide nutrients needed by thidiazuron in promoting growth of rice. Nutrient conduction and disease resistance and stress resistance of the rice plants are promoted by means of synergism effect of thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid. In the mature period of rice, thidiazuron and polyglutamic acid have an obvious enhancing effect to unit yield per mu, and the yield per mu increase ratio is up to 17.1%. 2, it is found in the test that polyglutamic acid itself also has a function of regulating plant growth and plays a complementary role with thidiazuron, so that the plant height of rice can be reduced effectively and the up-down nutrient conduction ability of the plant can be improved effectively. Furthermore, lodging resistance in rice growth can be improved by reducing the plant height. 3, thidiazuron used as a single dosage has certain disease resistance and stress resistance to plant growth while polyglutamic acid has certain immunity to crop diseases. Joint application of polyglutamic acid and thidiazuron has a good synergism effect. It can be seen from analysis in the above table that compared with the single dosage and the clean water control group, polyglutamic acid and thidiazuron have a good prevention effect to banded sclerotial blight of indica due to synergism effect between polyglutamic acid and thidiazuron.
