    A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the National Health Commission and the General Administration of Market Supervision, issued a new version of the "National Food Safety Standards Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides in Foods", which stipulated 10092 maximum residue limits for 564 pesticides in 376 (category) foods, and comprehensive coverage The approved pesticide varieties and main plant-derived agricultural products
    .
    The author believes that this means that the standard system for pesticide residue limits has been established.
    In the future, it is necessary to target the needs of green agriculture development, strengthen the original innovation of high-efficiency, low-toxicity, and low-risk pesticides, and develop and promote more environmentally friendly, harmless and green pesticides.
    Pesticides
    .
    Pesticides span primary and secondary industries and are both agricultural inputs and industrial products
    .
    The reason why the "Maximum Residue Limits of Pesticides in Food" has been continuously formulated and improved is because the standard for evaluating the safety of agricultural products is not whether pesticides are used or not, but whether the pesticides are used in a standardized manner and whether the residues are within the permitted range
    .
    We must see that pesticides are effective weapons to deal with pests and diseases, and we must not ignore the negative impact of existing pesticides on the environment and ecology
    .
    Clarification of the standards will force the planting source to use pesticides scientifically and rationally, strictly enforce the safety interval and limit the scope of pesticide use, and degrade pesticide residues to the safety standard range
    .
    Some people talk about the discoloration of "pesticides", which is largely affected by food safety incidents caused by the use of highly toxic pesticides in the past
    .
    In the past, the structure of pesticide products was unreasonable, and farmers' quality awareness was weak, which led to the indiscriminate use of pesticides from time to time
    .
    Before 2000, China's pesticide varieties were mainly highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides
    .
    With the advancement of technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has taken measures to ban 46 highly toxic and high-risk pesticides, and adopted a fixed-point sales system for existing highly toxic pesticides.
    In the next 5 years, 10 highly toxic chemical pesticides will be eliminated.
    Traditional highly toxic pesticides will gradually withdraw from the market
    .
    From the perspective of pesticide production, among the more than 600 pesticide compounds used in China, more than 90% of the varieties have been produced locally, and more than 50 pesticide varieties have independent intellectual property rights
    .
    However, although the total number of pesticide companies in my country is huge, the homogeneity of their products is serious, and the average sales of each pesticide product is only 3 million yuan..
    Many pesticides on the domestic market are created by foreign companies or products with expired patents
    .
    Compared with developed countries, China has a large gap in the research and creation of green pesticides, and lacks eco-friendly green pesticides and biological pesticides
    .
    From the perspective of pesticide use, the use of pesticides in crops across the country has experienced negative growth for four consecutive years.
    The pesticide utilization rate of the three major staple foods reached 40.
    6%, which was 4% higher than in 2015
    .
    However, there is still a certain gap with developed countries, and there is still a lot of room for improving utilization
    .
    The farming system south of the Great Wall in China is mostly double-cropping, with three crops a year in some areas.
    This kind of super-intensified land use will naturally cause more pests and diseases, and the amount of pesticides will be larger
    .
    Of course, there are also problems with pesticide application machinery and methods
    .
    In most localities, small farmers still use knapsack hand (electric) sprayers, which account for 90% of the number of machines and 60% of the prevention and control area.
    In the last century, developed countries have basically eliminated this type of equipment
    .
    At present, the coverage rate of green prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests nationwide has increased to 41.
    5%
    .
    In the future to promote pesticide reduction and efficiency enhancement, on the one hand, we must eliminate low-efficiency, high-toxicity, and high-residue varieties, and promote green pesticides and biological pesticides; on the other hand, we must optimize pesticide application machinery and methods, improve scientific pesticide use, and handle yield and quality.
    The relationship between the rational use of pesticides and scientific prevention and control of pests and diseases
