Abstract

Jedan od najvažnijih globalnih problema je zaštita usjeva od štetnih organizama. Za suzbijanje štetnih organizama kontinuirano se koriste sintetičke kemikalije i njihova toksičnost ugrožava zdravlje ljudi i životinja. Ekološki insekticidi temeljeni na esencijalnim uljima (EO) su komplementarni kemijski sintetiziranim insekticidima u suzbijanju štetnih organizama. Njihova prednost je u smanjenju štetnih učinaka kemijskih insekticida na zdravlje ljudi i okoliš te povećavanju prinosa biljnih kultura. EO biljaka pokazuju toksične i odbijajuće učinke na različite štetne organizme. Glavni problem u korištenju biljnih EO kao insekticida u poljskim uvjetima je njihova kemijska nestabilnost u prisutnosti zraka, svjetla, vlage i visokih temperatura koje dovode do isparavanja i propadanja njihovih aktivnih sastojaka. Formulacije mikročestica ispunjenih s EO i njihovim kontroliranim otpuštanjem mogu unaprijediti njihovu primjenu.

Abstract (english)

One of the most important global problems is the protection of crops from harmful organisms. Synthetic chemicals are continuously used to control harmful organisms and their toxicity endangers human and animal health. Organic insecticides based on essential oils (EO) are complementary to chemically synthesized insecticides in pest control. Their advantage is in reducing the harmful effects of chem. insecticides on human health and the environment and increasing crop yields. EO plants show toxic and repulsive effects on various harmful organisms. The main problem in using plant EOs as insecticides in field conditions is their chemical instability in the presence of air, light, moisture and high temperatures leading to evaporation and degradation of their active ingredients. Formulations of microparticles filled with EO and their controlled release can improve their application.
