On September 12, the "Sixth China Pesticide High-level Forum" sponsored by the China Pesticide Development and Application Association was held in Dalian, Liaoning Province. Experts attending the meeting said that the pesticide industry is currently facing several opportunities. First, the unified control of pests and diseases; Second, the reform of management mechanism; Third, the creation of pesticides.

At present, the major innovation in the pesticide industry is undoubtedly the strong promotion of the specialized unified control of pests and diseases. Ye Zhenqin, director of the Department of Plant Management of the Ministry of Agriculture, believes that modern plant protection is mainly reflected in new pesticides and new plant protection machinery. Although China has suffered from extreme natural disasters such as "flood in the north and drought in the south" this year, it is precisely because of the rapid development of the pesticide industry that drives the implementation of modern plant protection technology and unified prevention and control, and ensures that agricultural diseases and insect pests are effectively controlled. Summer grain has achieved the goal of increasing production. From the current situation, autumn grain is growing well, and these achievements are closely related to the reform, innovation and development of pesticides.

As for the management reform of pesticide industry, Sui Pengfei, director of the Pesticide Inspection Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, believes that it is necessary to systematically design, actively promote and pay attention to the timeliness. The management departments and enterprises should fully trust each other, clarify the main position of the government, enterprises and the masses, and the government and enterprises should have the same goals. At present, the main work of the Institute for Drug Control is to promote the introduction of the new pesticide management regulations. However, enterprises should not wait for the introduction of the regulations to reform and innovate, but should greet the introduction of the new regulations with the attitude of reform and innovation. After all, the regulations themselves are backward; Pesticide registration and regulatory measures should be highly consistent; Actively formulate special registration policies for small crops and promote the registration of small crops; Make statistics and sort out the annual spot check results, and resolutely revoke the registration of illegal products; Coordinate and solve the relationship between pesticides and hazardous chemicals; We are actively investigating the differentiated management of enterprises and implementing different management policies between large and small enterprises.

Domestic scientists have done a lot of work in the creation of pesticides. Qian Xuhong, an academician of the CAE Member and president of East China University of Science and Technology, suggested that in the past, pesticide development only focused on performance rather than impact, but with food safety, environmental pollution and other issues prominent, pesticide reform should focus not only on performance but also on impact. China's pesticide industry has great potential advantages and countermeasures, that is: division of labor and cooperation, innovation alliance. In recent years, the state has increased its support for newly created pesticides, paid more attention to the research of pesticide formulations, and accelerated the promotion of green industrial technology. There are more than 2000 pesticide production enterprises in China. If these enterprises can reform, break through and innovate, and establish independent alliances, the development of China's pesticide industry will enter a new stage.

Liu Jian, counselor of the State Council and president of the China Pesticide Development and Application Association, said that the pesticide high-level development forum had been held for five consecutive sessions and was widely praised by the industry. This was mainly due to the strong pertinence of the topics of each forum, summarizing the early development of the pesticide industry, grasping the current development situation and analyzing the future development direction. The forum was attended by leaders and experts from the industry, as well as more than 400 people from sales, research and development, management and other fields.
