In 2017, Shanxi Province adhered to the principle of “reduction of production and production, simultaneous equalization of quantity and quality, integration of production and ecology, cost-saving and efficiency enhancement,” and took active measures to implement the technical route of “control, replacement, refinement, and integration”. It effectively promoted the zero growth of pesticides.

On the basis of modern monitoring equipment and improving monitoring and early warning capabilities, Shanxi Province has summarized and refined the technology for reducing and controlling harmful diseases: highlighting key crops such as grain, fruit trees, vegetables, and tea, and implementing classified guidance and zoning promotion.

Food crops are focused on “resistance to drug resistance, use of highly active pesticides and new types of additives, and application of new plant protection equipment” to reduce the application of pesticides per unit area and increase the utilization of pesticides; pesticides such as fruit trees and vegetables are used frequently and used in large quantities Crops, based on accurate forecasting, use of new high-efficiency plant protection devices as the primary measure, focusing on fitness cultivation and control bases, promoting green prevention and control, accurate use of pesticide technology, implementation of specialized unified defense rules, and raising the use of pesticides to achieve pesticides Rapid breakthroughs in reduction in the amount of application; based on physical control and base number control for facility vegetables, the use of biopesticides and high-efficiency plant protection devices is the focus, and the amount of pesticides is significantly reduced.

In recent years, Shanxi’s green prevention and control has gradually expanded from apples and vegetables to wheat, corn, kiwifruit, cherries, and tea trees. The province has established more than 130 demonstration sites for agronomy and agronomy integration, reduction and control of harmful diseases, and green prevention and control of pests and diseases in the whole growing period. The demonstration area covers more than 300,000 mu and the radiation has driven more than 200 million mu; the use of more than 10,000 insecticidal lamps has been promoted. There are more than 900,000 insect traps, more than 120,000 suspension traps, more than 1.3 million bags of prey, and more than 300,000 acres of grass in orchards. The prevention and control effect of major diseases and pests such as apples, kiwifruit, cherries, and vegetable facilities in the demonstration area is more than 90%, the damage loss rate is controlled within 5%, the use of pesticides is reduced by 25% to 30%; the ecological environment of the demonstration area is improved, and the natural enemies are in the grassland. The number of spiders, spiders, ladybugs, etc. has increased significantly, with significant economic and ecological benefits.

In 2017, the use of pesticides in the province was reduced by 14 tons (100%) compared to the same period of last year. The coverage rate of major crops was 31.2%, an increase of 3.7% over the previous year.
