Tea Saponin

What is Tea Saponin?

Tea saponin powder of different purities were extracted from Camellia oleifera seeds using AB-8 macroporous resin and gradient elution with ethanol. The insecticidal effects of the tea saponin extracts were evaluated by contact toxicity tests and stomach toxicity tests using the lepidopteran pest of tea plantation, Ectropis obliqua.

The total saponins extracted using 70% ethanol showed strong contact toxicity (LC50 = 8.459 mg/L) and stomach toxicity (LC50 = 22.395 mg/L). In-depth mechanistic studies demonstrated that tea saponins can disrupt the waxy layer of the epidermis, causing serious loss of water, and can penetrate the inside of the intestine of E. obliqua. After consumption of the tea saponins, the intestinal villi were shortened and the cavities of the intestinal wall were disrupted, which resulted in larval death. This study highlights the potential of tea saponin powder as a natural, plant-derived pesticide for the management of plant pests.

Basic Information:

Tea Saponin Application:

1.It can be used as a wetting agent and suspending agent in solid pesticides, as a synergist and spreading agent in emulsifiable concentrate pesticides, or directly as a biological pesticide.

2.As a pesticide wetting agent, saponin tea can improve the wetting performance and suspension rate of wettable powders (≥75%). As a natural non-ionic surfactant, it can be used in pesticides to significantly improve the physical and chemical properties of pesticide liquids. , To increase the effective volume of the drug on the target, so that it can help the full play of the pesticide efficacy, so the use effect can be improved. As a pesticide wetting agent, the outstanding advantages are fast wetting speed, strong dispersibility, pH 5.5-6.5, neutral and partial acid, and will not cause pesticide decomposition, which is beneficial to the storage of pesticides. These are incomparable to synthetic surfactants. Tea saponin has been widely used as a humectant for pesticides such as paclobutrazol, isoprocarb, foxaluminum, and tricyclazole.

3.Tea saponin powder is an excellent additive for water or soluble powder pesticides. It can improve the physical properties of pesticides, improve the adhesion of the liquid to the surface of organisms or plants, and play a synergistic effect on pesticides. Tea saponin can automatically degrade and is non-toxic. It will not affect the chemical properties of pesticides during the separation process, which is beneficial to the storage of pesticides. Tea saponin powder has been widely used in herbicide glyphosate, insecticide and insecticide, especially glyphosate. It gives full play to the excellent properties of glyphosate and improves its adhesion and moisture absorption on plants. It can improve the permeability of the liquid medicine, and because of the good biological activity of tea saponin, it can also improve the biological activity of glyphosate.

4.Because tea saponin has good biological activity, it can be mixed with dimethoate, malathion, methomyl, kungfu pyrethroid, nissolam, tachyfenone, nicotine, dimethoate, and rotenone to prevent and control constriction tubes. Aphid, Plutella xylostella, Panonychus citrus, etc., have obvious synergistic effects.

5.Tea saponin powder has a certain stomach toxicity and a strong repellent effect on Pieris rapae, and the higher the concentration, the stronger the repellent, and it has a certain effect on the prevention and control of Pieris rapae damage to cabbage. Used as insecticide on garden flowers to control underground pests, such as cutworms, nematodes and other pests. It also has a good poisoning effect on snails, snails, and snails that harm rice.

Solutions:

1. Active mechanism against harmful organisms Tea saponin powder has hemolytic function on red blood cells, so it has strong toxicity to earthworms. The hemolytic effect of tea saponin on animal red blood cells is one reason for its toxicity. Insects have no red blood cells, which may be one of the reasons why tea saponin powder has a low direct poisoning effect on insects. In addition, because of its strong adhesion, saponin tea may have a blocking effect on the surface of the organism, thus causing it to suffocate and die. Tea saponin can also destroy the activity of detoxification metabolic enzymes in insects, so that certain insects have the effect of anti-feeding and affecting growth and development. Multifunctional oxidase is one of the main detoxification enzymes in insects. Tea saponin has a certain inhibitory effect on its epoxidation activity. This may also be one of the mechanisms that cause tea saponin to poison Pieris rapae.

2. Synergistic action mechanism saponin tea is a natural non-ionic surfactant, added to pesticides and used, can significantly improve the physical and chemical properties of pesticide liquids. From the research on the effect of tea saponin on the surface tension, contact angle, deposition and other properties of glyphosate, dimethoate, dimethoate, phenbutyltin and other pesticide liquids, it can be concluded that tea saponin can significantly reduce the liquid medicine. The surface tension of the droplet reduces the contact angle of the droplet on the surface of the target body, increases the effective amount of the drug deposited on the target body, and makes it conducive to wetting and spreading on the target organism, thereby helping to give full play to the efficacy of pesticides. Therefore, the use effect can be improved. The research on the mechanism of the synergistic action of the fungicide found that saponin tea itself can inhibit the growth of mycelium to a certain extent, and does not significantly inhibit the spore germination.
