Soybean protein isolate (SPI) was bonded to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by a hydrazine bond to prepare SPI-CMC carriers for pesticide applications. AVM/SPI-CMC was obtained by encapsulating avermectin (AVM) with SPI-CMC through thermal denaturation. SPI-CMC could improve the anti-UV performance of AVM and slow down the decomposition rate of AVM. The hydrazone bond and carboxyl groups showed pH responsiveness, which could release drugs rapidly in an acidic environment. Environmentally friendly SPI-CMC could protect and release pesticides continuously, which could improve the efficiency of pesticides.
