　　On June 6, the National Agricultural Technology Center, in collaboration with relevant… Pesticide The association held a video conference to launch the 2022 National Training on Safe and Scientific Use of Pesticides. Wei Qiwen, Director of the National Agricultural Technology Center, and China… Pesticide Sun Shubao, President of the Industrial Association, China Pesticide Zhou Puguo, President of the Association for Development and Application, Liu Yaping, Executive Director of the China Plant Protection Association, and others attended the event, while Wang Ge, Deputy Director of the National Agricultural Technology Center, presided over the launch ceremony. Representatives from plant protection agencies nationwide, Pesticide Machinery enterprises, specialized service organizations, and large-scale farmers participated in the video conference; as of 24:00 that day, the live stream had accumulated over 42,000 views.
　　The meeting pointed out that, Pesticide It is an important agricultural input; use it scientifically and safely. Pesticide It is an important measure for promoting green, high-quality agricultural development and plays a crucial role in ensuring national food security and the quality and safety of agricultural products. To thoroughly implement the “14th Five-Year Plan”… Pesticide The “Industrial Development Plan” and the “Two Increases and Two Reductions” initiative to safeguard grain production and ensure a bountiful harvest—this year, the National Agricultural Technology Center has focused on achieving high yields in grain production, large… Soybean oil Training sessions on topics such as expanding planting areas and ensuring the safe production of “vegetable baskets” have been organized to enhance skills in the scientific and safe use of agricultural chemicals. According to available data, from January to April, a total of approximately 8,000 training events—both online and offline—were conducted, reaching 1.3 million participants. Among these, over 400 sessions focused on vegetable cultivation, training more than 30,000 individuals, thereby helping to reverse… Wheat It has contributed to addressing the situation of relatively weak crop conditions, promoting technologies such as strip intercropping to stabilize grain production and expand oilseed cultivation, ensuring a stable supply of “vegetable basket” products, and advancing measures to stabilize prices and secure supplies of agricultural inputs while effectively controlling major pests and diseases.
　　The meeting emphasized cultivating a team that “understands” Pesticide A high‑quality contingent of farmers who know how to apply pesticides and use the right formulations is essential for plant protection professionals, Pesticide This is the very essence of a worker’s duty. Wei Qiwen put forward three points regarding this year’s training on the scientific and safe use of medications: First, strengthen top-level design and shift the focus of training from quantitative expansion to ensuring tangible outcomes. Comprehensive planning is required, moving away from a single‑stage approach… Pesticide Shift from training to application toward a full‑chain technical system, continuously enhancing… Pesticide the level of scientific and precise application. Second, broaden the training framework, emphasizing a shift from performance improvement to sustained safety. Training content should both be widely disseminated… Pesticide Knowledge and the promotion of efficient, environmentally friendly products should also encompass green pest‑management techniques such as ecological regulation, physicochemical attractant control, and biological control, thereby achieving chemical… Pesticide Employing reduction measures. Third, strengthen accountability and emphasize the shift from risk interception to risk prevention. Ensure that… is effectively carried out. Pesticide Use security risk monitoring to strengthen Pesticide Provide technical guidance and training on safe usage to prevent phytotoxicity, human health hazards, and livestock injuries, thereby ensuring the safety of agrochemicals in agricultural production.
