Pesticide labels can only be used until the end of the year

In the process of spraying pesticides on crops, farmers read the pesticide labels on the pesticide packages the most.
If the pesticide labels are not standardized, or if the pesticide composition does not match the pesticide label, then it is very likely that crop yields will be reduced or even no crops will be harvested
.
But in fact, China's current pesticide labeling problems are prominent, and irregularities are widespread
.
In order to standardize the management of pesticide labels and instructions and ensure the safety of pesticide use, the Ministry of Agriculture recently issued the "Administrative Measures for Pesticide Labels and Instructions
.
" On June 29, at the "Pesticide Management Regulations" and five supporting regulations for pesticide companies training class, Sun Yanping, deputy director of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Division of the Pesticide Inspection Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, gave a detailed interpretation of the label management measures
.
The problem of pesticide labeling in China has been prominent for many years, and the problem of pesticide labeling in China has been prominent, and irregularities abound
.
Specifically, there are the following situations: One is to expand the registered crops (control targets) and the scope of use
.
For example, the pesticide products of some companies originally registered only one or two applicable crops or one or two control targets, but they marked a variety of crops and control targets on the label
.
If the registered control target is rice planthopper, the label can be applied to the control of thrips
.
The second is to highlight the trade name and weaken the generic name, such as a certain glyphosate product, highlighting the trade name of "cutting the grass and removing the roots"
.
Some also claim that their products can "strengthen seedlings, cure diseases, increase production, and show youthfulness" and so on
.
Let farmers think that the product is a "magic panacea" that can kill insects and cure diseases
.
The third is the slogan that is illegally marked with exaggerated words on the label
.
Pesticide labels cannot be marked with any words, symbols, or patterns with propaganda or advertising colors, and cannot be marked with corporate awards and honorary titles
.
However, some companies are still "national exclusive registration", "China exclusive production", "international leading technology" and so on
.
The fourth is the famous brand
.
Some companies like to use famous brands and label scientific research institutions and foreign units
.
Such as the nominal general distributor and general agent of a well-known company
.
Let farmers think that they are imported pesticides, most of these products are fake foreign devils
.
Fifth, the distributors should highlight their company names and weaken the original production units
.
Some pesticide operators, under the banner of "general distributor and general agent", derive the production of counterfeit pesticide products
.
The new label stipulates a major change in blood 1.
Add an "electronic information code" to allow pesticides to have their own "electronic ID card"
.
In the "Regulations on the Administration of Pesticides" and the "Administrative Measures on Pesticide Labels and Instructions", the relevant provisions of the traceable electronic information code and the "restricted use" are two new important contents, which emphasize the traceability and use risk of pesticides respectively
.
Article 8 of the "Administrative Measures" stipulates that pesticide labels shall indicate the following contents: (1) Pesticide name, formulation, active ingredients and content; (2) Pesticide registration certificate number, product quality standard number and pesticide production license number; ( 3) Pesticide category and its color marking band, product performance, toxicity and its identification; (4) Use range, use method, dosage, technical requirements and precautions for use; (5) First aid measures for poisoning; (6) Storage and transportation methods (7) Production date, product batch number, quality guarantee period, and net content; (8) Name of pesticide registration certificate holder and contact information; (9) Traceable electronic information code; (10) Pictogram; (10) 1) Other content required by the Ministry of Agriculture
.
Among them, Article 24 of the Administrative Measures requires that the traceable electronic information code should be marked in the form of a QR code, which can scan and identify the name of the pesticide, the name of the pesticide registration certificate holder and other information
.
(The format and generation requirements of the traceable electronic information code will be separately formulated by the Ministry of Agriculture) It is reported that the "traceable electronic information code" will provide query and traceability management functions for government departments at all levels, enterprises, and consumers, and establish product quality and safety for the industry Files and corporate reputation files; on the other hand, companies can use QR codes to trace detailed product production, warehousing, logistics, consumer information, etc.
, to provide real scientific data for the company’s production plan, reduce inventory risks and financial costs, and at the same time Provide production enterprises with integrated mobile Internet solutions for product anti-counterfeiting, anti-smuggling, brand promotion, e-commerce and market promotion
.
2.
Special requirements for "restricted use" pesticides label management regulations stipulate that highly toxic and highly toxic pesticides should be marked with a poisoning emergency consultation telephone
.
Toxicity and its identification should be marked directly below the active ingredient content and dosage form (horizontal label) or on the front left (vertical label), and form a strong contrast with the background color
.
The label of restricted use of pesticides should also be marked with the words "restricted use" and indicate special restrictions and special requirements for use
.
In addition, in order to restrict the use of highly toxic and high-risk pesticides, accelerate the development and production and application of alternative products, orderly phase out existing highly toxic pesticides, and implement designated operations that restrict the use of pesticides
.
Among them, the designated operation is formulated by the agricultural administrative department of the provincial people's government, highlighting the key points of management, and strengthening the connection with the local agricultural production layout
.
The "List of Restricted Use of Pesticides" was formulated by the Ministry of Agriculture
.
3.
Labels shall not be pasted and altered without authorization.
The "Regulations on Pesticide Management" and "Administrative Measures on Pesticide Labels and Instructions" clearly specify pesticide label management, and the contents of approved labels shall not be changed without authorization, and contents that are false or misleading shall not be standardized
.
Among them, product toxicity, precautions, technical requirements and other labeling content related to the safety and effectiveness of pesticide products shall not be changed without authorization after approval.
Product certification and company-related information such as license number, production date, and company contact information shall be provided by the company Label independently and be responsible for the authenticity
.
In addition, manufacturers are not allowed to put the company’s WeChat official account on the product label
.
Because the WeChat official account is a product promotion, it is not allowed
.
The old label can only be used until the end of the year? It is understood that the existing product label, the old label, can only be used until December 31, 2017.
From January 1, 2018, the labels and instructions that comply with the labeling regulations will be used
.
