Pest control composition

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pest control composition capable of exerting a high effect on pests such as spider mites and aphids even at low concentration using a food/food additive with high safety to the human body and the environment. The present inventors have intensively studied to solve the above problem and found that, among polyglycerol fatty acid esters widely used as a food additive, a composition containing a polyglycerol fatty acid ester which has an HLB of 5 or less and is liquid at ordinary temperature and also a nonionic surfactant has a high effect on pests even at low concentration, and that the possibility for pests to develop resistance to the composition is extremely low, and the present invention has been completed.

主权项

1. A pest control composition consisting of
a pest-controlling effective amount of an active component that consists of a polyether-modified organopolysiloxane as a nonionic surfactant and at least one polyglycerol fatty acid ester having an HLB of 5 or less selected from the group consisting of hexaglycerol pentaoleate, decaglycerol decaoleate, decaglycerol erucate and polyglycerol condensed ricinoleate; and at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, raw sesame seed oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, water-soluble solid carriers, and nonionic surfactants other than said polyether-modified organopolysiloxane.
