Expert Reports In The 2024 Green Prevention and Control Innovation Technology Exchange Conference

Song Bao'an, an academician of the CAE Member and president of Guizhou University, delivered a speech entitled "Green Agriculture Development Requirements and Prospects", sharing his team's latest achievements in green prevention and control technology. Taking the green prevention and control technology of diseases and pests on the tea as an example, the technology model developed by the team was demonstrated, fully demonstrating the important role of green plant protection in promoting the development of green agriculture. To address this challenge, China has continuously introduced green prevention and control policies, vigorously promoted green technologies such as biological and physical control, reduced the incidence of pests and diseases, and improved the quality and safety of agricultural products. At present, various green prevention and control products and technology models have been successfully developed and have achieved significant economic, ecological, and social benefits in practical applications.

Liiuhui, Deputy director of National Agro-Tech Extension and Service Center, gave a report as “Current Status and Trends of Green Prevention and Control”, emphasizing scientific pesticides useage technology, including the promotion and application of efficient, low toxicity, and low residue pesticides; Promote the application of new crop protection machinery and ultra-low volume spray technology; Integration of unified prevention and control with green prevention and control. In 2023, the green prevention and control coverage rate of major crop diseases and pests in China reached 54.1%, reducing the annual use of chemical pesticides by 20000 tons, and the promotion of biological pesticides had a significant effect.

Xu Hanhong, Professor of South China Agricultural University and Director of the Biopesticide Committee of China Association of Pesticide Development and Application, focused on the current situation and trends of the development of biopesticides, it is stated that the development of biopesticides is a major national demand, and the theoretical innovation and new production methods of biopesticides are shared.
