In recent years, due to the unscientific use of pesticides, caused by poison cowpea, poison garlic, poison ginger, poisonous strawberries, poisonous green onions and a series of pesticide safety incidents, attracted the attention of all sectors of society, pesticide industry is too much interpretation and “demonization” , People can not talk about “medicine” discoloration. Pesticide safety incident “black pot” Who should come back?
Pesticides, agricultural production of “medicine”
Pesticides, with the right, is a piece of agricultural development “medicine”. China is an agricultural biological disaster-prone, frequent countries. In recent years, the annual incidence of insect pests and rodents about 73 million mu, the control area of ​​more than 80 million mu times. From the point of view of disaster prevention and control, the rational use of pesticides for our country to save an average of 50 million tons of grain per year, 1.5 million tons of cotton, vegetables, 15 million tons, 6 million tons of fruit, reducing direct economic losses of more than 100 billion yuan.
From the point of view of production efficiency, the use of pesticides, to a certain extent, the liberation of a lot of manpower, making the production efficiency can be improved. So, how does the pesticide that plays such an important role in agriculture evolve into “poison” in the mouth of people?
Scientific use of awareness, not to pesticide change “poison”
“The use of pesticides is one of the most critical aspects of the pesticide industry,” said Sun Shubao, president of the China Pesticide Industry Association. “The level of drug use is scientifically and rationally used in the final outcome of pesticide use. Vary widely. This is not only related to the safety of drug users, but also related to the quality of agricultural products is more related to the future of sustainable development of pesticides.
At present, China’s pesticide use is still facing a series of problems. Ministry of Agriculture National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center to promote researcher Shao Zhenrun said, first of all, China’s pest occurrence area, prevention and treatment of heavy; second, low level of scientific and technological farmers, spraying most of the untreated, easily lead to poisoning and residues; 4, pesticide business backward, the lack of business entities, individual marketing, corporate marketing uneven; Fifth, small businesses and complex varieties, the industry self-discipline is not enough, add chaos, chaos change the label serious ; The sixth is the construction of legislation lag, regulatory punishment is not enough.
Ministry of Agriculture National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center Party Secretary, deputy director Wei Qiwen said that pesticide safety and its scientific use widely concerned about the people, but also often let the government worried, the industry headache to solve the scientific use of pesticide safety problems than ever before.
Multi-hand, for the pesticide name on the road
“Wei Qiwen said that the agricultural sector, industry associations, pesticide production and management operators to solve the scientific use of pesticide safety and common responsibility should be a reasonable and reasonable to promote pesticide safety scientific training.”..
Shao Zhenrun said that pesticide production enterprises need to adapt to the new situation, new requirements, do a good job of safe medication, scientific medication, reduce drug training work for green development, agriculture and sustainable development to provide support.
Bayer CropScience (China) Co., Ltd. Director of Development HolgerWillms told reporters about Bayer’s experience in this area. He said that the current agricultural development is facing many challenges, only to promote the construction of sustainable agriculture in order to complete the breakthrough in the challenge, the use of pesticides is an important part of sustainable agriculture. “Sustainable agricultural development is not only the sale of products, but to improve the income and income of farmers, but also to fulfill social responsibility and protect the environment.”
“Safe and scientific use of drugs not only to protect the safety and benefits of farmers, but also to extend product life and reduce business losses.” Bayer CropScience (China) Co., Ltd. senior product safety management and sustainable agriculture experts Sun Xinyou said pesticide companies are often faced with this Pain point: the development of a new product, but because of unscientific use, a short period of time to produce drug resistance, ruined the product market. As a pesticide enterprises, should be the concept of safe medication to farmers, farmers and the industry is responsible for the whole.
