As a major pesticide production province, Jiangsu owns 130 original drug manufacturers, accounting for one quarter of the total chemical pesticide production in China and one third of the country’s total exports, ranking first in China. However, the ratio of biopesticide production to total pesticide production in Jiangsu is less than 1%.

             In some people’s view, biological pesticides by the natural factors, easy to break down, the scope of prevention and control of narrow, slow, but higher cost. Taking vegetable cabbage as an example, the cost of applying biological pesticides is twice as high as that of chemical pesticides, and the effect is slow and the frequency of medication is also large. However, biological pesticides meet the characteristics of modern agriculture, agricultural products and ecological environment. Many plant-derived biological pesticides inhibit the growth and development of pests, control the population and other effects, the pest is not easy to produce resistance; As a bio-insecticide insects virus, does not pollute the environment, not easy to produce resistance, but also in the pest population epidemic , Long-term control of the number of pests.

             The implementation of specialized anti-ruling can reduce the amount of chemical pesticides by 20%. However, the coverage of biopesticides in Jiangsu is only 20%, which restricts the promotion of biopesticides in Jiangsu?

             Compared with Zhejiang and Hubei, Jiangsu’s biopesticide manufacturing enterprises are small in size and scattered, with a single species, serious product assimilation and weak core competitiveness. More than 90% of biopesticide products in Jiangsu are simple compound formulations, with insufficient R & D investment, insufficient emphasis and backward technological level.

             To promote bio-pesticides, not only need to step up efforts to support and nurture related businesses, but also inseparable from the mature market. At present, biological pesticides mainly rely on government procurement, and the acceptance of peasants needs to be improved. Jiangsu biological pesticide is rich in resources, with a variety of microbial pools and characteristics of plant resources, and in the field of fresh agricultural products have great market space. The development of biological pesticides is to improve the quality and safety of agricultural products, environmental protection and ecological needs.
