Disclosed is a pesticide composition for controlling Spodoptera frugiperda. The pesticide includes an auxiliary material, an active ingredient A and an active ingredient B. The active ingredient A is tea saponin, the active ingredient B is chlorantraniliprole or tolfenpyrad, and the mass ratio of the active ingredient A to the active ingredient B is 1-20:20-1. In the present invention, by mixing tea saponin with chlorantraniliprole or tolfenpyrad, a pesticide with certain ratio is prepared to control Spodoptera frugiperda, has the advantages of good effect and low dosage, and can delay the resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda to pesticides.

Disclosed is an antimicrobial air permeable substrate comprising a high concentration of a dry powder. Also disclosed is the use of the antimicrobial material to kill, denature or otherwise deactivate microbes, particularly airborne or droplet-borne microbes.

The invention also relates to a functionalised fabric that will deactivate air borne virus upon contact. In particular, it relates to a fabric within which is contained an active compound or compounds that have been demonstrated to deactivate air borne virus and other pathogens when said virus or pathogens make contact with the active compound within the fabric. The active compound or compounds described are harmless to humans, animals, marine and plant life and are prolifically available from sustainable resources.

The invention belongs to the technical field of nano-drugs, and in particular, relates to an amphotericin B (AmpB) and β-1,3-glucanase (Gls) loaded bi-functional nano-system with both targets, a preparation method and an application thereof. The nano-system provided by the invention comprises Gls and AmpB loaded chitosan nanoparticles. The β-1,3-glucanase modified chitosan nanoparticles are constructed for the first time, which can achieve a bi-functional nano-system both targeting fungal biofilm exopolysaccharide β-1,3-glucan and internal thalli; meanwhile, the β-1,3-glucanase and the amphotericin B have a synergistic interaction effect, so that the removal capacity is improved. The double-loaded nano-system is used for fungal biofilm damage removal for the first time.
