In the 33rd annual "Plant Protection" Double Crossing Summit and Information Conference, the National Agricultural Technology Center Pesticide and Pharmacy Department issued a forecast and analysis on the market demand for pesticides and drugstores in China in 2018.
The overall incidence of pests and diseases tended to trend
Rice focuses on two pests, stem borer, rice blast, wheat focus on scab, stripe rust and aphids on the spike. Corn focus on armyworms, cotton bollworm, corn borer, maculopapular disease. Focusing on the concentration of damage in some areas.The above pests and diseases affected by climate factors are greater, have the risk of recurrent epidemic.Weed weeds in place, we must pay special attention to the problem of weeds in the southern direct seeding rice fields. However, special attention should be paid to rodent pests in the structural adjustment area of planting industry.
The total amount of pesticide demand steady decline
The amount of pesticides continued to decline.Phosphorus demand will be significantly reduced, down about 10% over the previous year, carbamate is expected to drop about 16% over the previous year. Demand for acaricide increased, the demand for herbicides than the previous year Slight increase, biocide basically flat, the demand for plant growth regulator increased sharply. Pesticide prices are expected to rise steadily.
High demand for plant protection machinery warming
In 2018, there will be a strong demand for high-efficiency plant protection machinery, and plant protection UAVs will continue to heat up with an estimated demand of about 8,000 acreages and a projected operation area of 200 million mu. Self-propelled sprayer is basically affected by aviation plant protection. However, Demand for walk-in sprayer increased.
Pest control will strengthen technical integration
Take the green development as the main line, take the pest control of pesticides as the starting point, and integrate the existing agricultural technologies such as pest and disease control, chemical prevention and control, biological control and other individual technologies and soil treatment, fallow rotation, Biological diversity, the protection and utilization of natural enemies and other environmentally friendly ways to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products organically integrated in order to promote agricultural green development to provide technical support.
