The use of 12 highly toxic pesticides currently in China will speed up the phase-out process based on the degree of the risks and the production and use of alternative products, and the government will strive to eliminate them all within 5 years so as to reduce the risks of agricultural products.

Chloropicrin and other 12 kinds of highly toxic pesticides will disable all within 5 years

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture on the 4th that this year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued a public notice on the two highly toxic pesticides for endosulfan and methyl bromide, which will be completely banned in 2019. In the meantime, aldicarb, phorate and isocarbophos will be withdrawn in 2018; exophthalone, omethoate, methyl isophthalocyanine and phosphide will strive to exit before 2020; chloropicrin, carbides and Methvenol will strive to exit by 2022.

In terms of use, the Ministry of Agriculture implemented a fixed-point operation on the existing high-toxic pesticides, requiring counter sales, real-name purchase, purchase and sales accounting, traceability management, and full supervision from production and circulation to use.

Vigorously developing biological pesticides is the future direction of the development of pesticide industry. Biopesticide refers to the active ingredients from the organism of pesticides, including microbial pesticides, plant-based pesticides, natural enemies of different types of species. Its toxicity to humans and animals and the environment are relatively low, showing a good momentum of development in these years.
