    Recently, the pesticide supervision department of Shandong Province found in the pesticide supervision and random inspections that the pesticide “paraquat” was detected in some samples of “diquat”.
    For example, a company’s 200g/l diquat water agent detected 22.
    5 of paraquat.
    %, 200g/L diquat water is actually 20% paraquat water
    .
    In addition, according to investigations, problems such as adding "paraquat" to "glyphosate" or adding "industrial waste sulfuric acid" (acid fast glyphosate) to glyphosate have also appeared on the market
    .
    Since July 1, 2016, the sale and use of paraquat water in China has ceased
    .
    However, the overseas registration of the export of aqueous pharmaceuticals of the parent drug manufacturer is retained, and the exclusive export production is allowed
    .
    Diquat is the third most biocidal herbicide after glyphosate and glufosinate.
    It has specific effects on malignant broad-leaved weeds, weeding more thoroughly, and has a good weeding effect
    .
    Diquat is less toxic than paraquat, and is faster and more efficient than glyphosate for weed control
    .
    At present, the main disadvantages of diquat are its high cost and limited weed-killing spectrum
    .
    Although the effect of diquat is similar to that of paraquat, not only is the effect of diquat not as good as paraquat, the price is much higher, and the cost for farmers is nearly doubled
    .
    Some companies have added "paraquat" to "Diquat": First, companies that produce paraquat for export, in order to make profits, replace the production of paraquat exclusively for export with Diquat.
    Market sales
    .
    The second is that the paraquat that was not sold before July 1, 2016 recalled by the paraquat production company was replaced with a "diquat" package and re-sold on the market
    .
    Third, companies that produce diquat add "paraquat" to their products to reduce costs and improve control effectiveness
    .
    Fourth, some unlicensed companies illegally produce fake and inferior enemy grass, use fakes to chase the real, and pursue high profits
    .
    The serious consequences of illegal sales of "paraquat" posing as "Diquat": First, farmers do not know that the diquat used is paraquat or contains paraquat.
    If it is not protected, the liquid will be contaminated on the body or taken by mistake.
    , It will cause serious harm
    .
    The second is that "paraquat" is a hidden component, which cannot be prevented.
    It will surreptitiously interfere with the market order and bring great hidden dangers to people's life safety, environmental safety and agricultural product quality safety
    .
    The market chaos that "paraquat" pretends to be "Diquat" is worthy of vigilance and key attention.
    It is necessary to severely investigate and punish and trace the source
    .
    The first is for production companies that transfer paraquat liquid exclusively for export to the domestic market, use paraquat to pretend to be diquat, or add "paraquat" to diquat invisibly, and the agricultural department will cooperate with the public security department.
    Give a severe blow
    .
    The second is that the agricultural law enforcement department puts a seal on the current inventory of paraquat in a timely manner and puts forward opinions on how to deal with it
    .
    The third is to increase the intensity of supervision and spot checks, and it is found that "paraquat" is posing as "Diquat" counterfeit products put on the market, and confiscation will be imposed
    .
    Apply for financial funds for confiscated paraquat for harmless destruction; if the amount is too large, there is no problem with the quality of the paraquat tested, and approved by the agricultural administrative department, refer to the management of highly toxic pesticides, and take temporary measures to assign highly toxic pesticides.
    The reserve unit implements unified prevention and control, unified waste disposal, and completes the disposal as soon as possible to ensure that it is not used by others
    .
    The fourth is to increase the monitoring of "glyphosate" sales on the market, increase the "sulfuric acid" detection index, and find that the pH value exceeds the standard (excessive acidity), promptly report and deal with it
    .
