The invention discloses a preparation method of
gelatin / CMC
insect virus microcapsules. The method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving CMC in deionized water to obtain a CMC solution; addingan
insect virus dry powder into the CMC solution, and performing stirring and mixing uniformly to form a mixture A; and preparing a
gelatin solution with a
mass percentage of 1%-5% by using a ready-made
buffer solution; and (2) adding the
gelatin solution into the mixture A, wherein a
mass ratio of gelatin to CMC is 1:2-12:1; performing stirring at a temperature of 25-35 DEG C with a revolution speed of 200-1000 r / min until the solution is mixed uniformly; and dropwise adding a glacial
acetic acid solution with a
mass percentage of 10% into the solution, slowly adjusting a pH value of the solution until spherical microcapsules appear in the solution observed under a
microscope, stopping heating, performing cooling, dropwise adding a curing agent solution, carrying out a reaction for 30-60min, performing standing separation, removing a supernatant, and
freeze drying a precipitate to obtain the gelatin / CMC
virus microcapsules. The gelatin / CMC virus microcapsules can be applied to the
Spodoptera litura polyhedrosis virus, is safe and environment-friendly, has strong anti-
ultraviolet performance, can effectively protect the virus from being killed by
ultraviolet rays, and improves aninsecticidal rate.
