The present application claims priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. CN202111398073.7, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) on Nov. 19, 2021, and entitled “USE OF 4-NITRO-3-(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)PHENOL IN KILLING OR CONTROLLING POMACEA CANALICULATA, METHOD FOR KILLING OR CONTROLLING POMACEA CANALICULATA, AND MOLLUSCICIDE”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of alien invasive species control, in particular to use of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol in killing or controlling Pomacea canaliculata, a method for killing or controlling the Pomacea canaliculata, and a molluscicide.
Pomacea canaliculata is native to the Amazon River Basin in South America. The Pomacea canaliculata was introduced to China in 1981 as an edible snail, and has become a highly harmful invasive alien species due to strong adaptability and rapid reproduction. Pomacea canaliculata has a large appetite, and destroys crop plants such as rice, causing serious production reduction as a veritable rice killer. In addition, the Pomacea canaliculata has a sharp shell that can easily scratch farmers' hands and feet, and excretes a large amount of feces to pollute the water body. Each Pomacea canaliculata lays about 10,000 eggs annually, showing an astonishing reproduction rate. The Pomacea canaliculata can cause the extinction of other aquatic species, thereby easily damaging the local wetland ecosystem and agricultural ecosystem.
The present disclosure provides use of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol in killing or controlling Pomacea canaliculata, a method for killing or controlling the Pomacea canaliculata, and a molluscicide. The 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol can effectively control and even kill the Pomacea canaliculata.
The present disclosure provides the following technical solutions:

The use of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol in killing or controlling Pomacea canaliculata, the method for killing or controlling the Pomacea canaliculata, and the molluscicide provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below in connection with examples, but these examples should not be understood as limiting the claimed scope of the present disclosure.
A preparation method of a spreading oil of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol with a mass percentage content of 5% included the following steps: 5 g of the 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol was fully dissolved into 25 g of methyl laurate (as a film-forming agent), and 5 g of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate (as a film-forming agent), 4 g of APEO (as a surfactant), and 61 g of oleic acid (as a cosolvent) were added in sequence to obtain the spreading oil of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol with a mass percentage content of 5%.
An experiment was conducted in the paddy fields of Lujia Village, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, China, from Jul. 3 to 7, 2020. Each treated plot had an area of 10 m2, a water depth of 20 cm, and a water volume of 2 m3, and was arranged in random blocks.
Before the test, Pomacea canaliculata was removed in all plots, and 50 Pomacea canaliculata samples were put in each plot. Before application, the field ridges should be repaired and the height of the field ridges should be increased to prevent water flow.
There were 3 treatments in total:
The number of dead snails and live snails was investigated 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after spraying. The results of the investigation were shown in Table 1.
From the data recorded in Table 1, it was seen that the molluscicide of the present disclosure could effectively kill and control Pomacea canaliculata.
0.5 mg of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol and 0.5 mg of niclosamide were completely dissolved in 1 mL of a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution separately, and diluted to 1,000 mL with deaminized water to obtain a 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg/L and a niclosamide solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg/L.
The two solutions were separately diluted into 7 concentrations of dilutions using a doubling dilution method, including 0.25 mg/L, 0.125 mg/L, 0.0625 mg/L, 0.0312 mg/L, 0.0156 mg/L, and 0.0078 mg/L, and 0.0039 mg/L.
400 mL of the dilutions with different concentrations were separately poured into a 500 mL beaker, 10 Pomacea canaliculata samples were put into the dilution of each concentration, and each bottle mouth was sealed with wire mesh to completely immerse the Pomacea canaliculata in the dilution; clear water was used as a control group. The Pomacea canaliculata samples were placed in a constant-temperature incubator at (25±0.1)° C. with day and night alternation (light time for 12 h, dark time for 12 h); the survival number of Pomacea canaliculata at 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, 60 h, and 72 h was investigated separately; if the blank control had a mortality rate of greater than 10%, the test needed to be repeated.
The experimental data were used to calculate the mortality rate of each treatment according to the following formula. Each calculation result was rounded to two decimal places. A formula for calculating the mortality rate was:
In the formula: P represented the mortality rate, in percentage (%); ΣKi represented
The specific killing conditions were shown in Table 2 and Table 3.
From the records in Table 2 and Table 3, it was seen that for 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol, at concentrations of 0.5 mg/L, 0.25 mg/L, and 0.125 mg/L and an action time of 12 h, the mortality rate of Pomacea canaliculata could reach 100%; a concentration of 0.0625 mg/L could kill all Pomacea canaliculata with an action time of 24 h. For niclosamide, the mortality rate of Pomacea canaliculata failed to reach 100% within 72 h at a concentration of below 0.0312 mg/L; when the concentration was 0.5 mg/L and 0.25 mg/L and the action time was 12 h, all Pomacea canaliculata died; and when the concentration was 0.125 mg/L, all Pomacea canaliculata died within 24 h. Experimental results show that the 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol has a Pomacea canaliculata killing activity comparable to that of the niclosamide, showing application prospects.
The present disclosure has been disclosed with preferred examples as above, which shall not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. Any person skilled in the art can make changes and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope defined in the claims.
