摘要：
Colored clay particles are prepared by the absorption of pigments, such as dyes, on the surface of clays. The surface of the clay can be modified with a surfactant such that a dye can be well bound to the particles surface to avoid leaching of the dye into water. The colored clay particles can be used to deter insects, such as the Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP), by coating a plant, such as a citrus plant, with the colored clay particles. The reflectance of the visible and ultraviolet light can be altered by the choice of dyes such that the spectrum visible to the insect deters the insect from the plant.
