Q: do farmers have the responsibility to identify labels and identify pesticide production enterprises when they use pesticides?

Answer by Yang Lijian

Farmers do not identify labels and identify the responsibility of pesticide production enterprises.

Because, it is the operator's responsibility to identify the authenticity of labels and the certificates of pesticide production enterprises. The Pesticide Administration regulations stipulate: "Pesticide operators shall examine product packaging, labels, product quality inspection certificates and relevant license documents when purchasing pesticides, and shall not purchase pesticides from pesticide production enterprises that have not obtained pesticide production licenses or other pesticide operators who have not obtained pesticide business licenses." "Pesticide operators have professional knowledge of pesticides and pest control, are familiar with pesticide management regulations, and can guide the safe and rational use of pesticides." Pesticide operators shall set up sales accounts, truthfully record the name, specification, quantity, production enterprise, buyer, sales date and other contents of the pesticides sold. The sales account shall be kept for more than 2 years. " "Pesticide operators shall inquire the purchasers about the occurrence of diseases and insect pests and recommend pesticides scientifically, and when necessary, they shall inspect the occurrence of diseases and insect pests on the spot, and correctly state the scope, method and dosage, technical requirements and matters needing attention of the use of pesticides, and shall not mislead the purchasers." .

Therefore, pesticide operators have the responsibility to check pesticide certificates, check labels, collect invoices, set up purchase and sales accounts, and promote the use of drugs to farmers. If an incident of drug harm or poisoning occurs in the course of the use of pesticides, as long as it is not caused by farmers' unauthorized use of pesticides, but by unlicensed production and misleading labels of pesticide production enterprises, the responsibility should lie with the operators, not with the farmers, we should investigate the responsibility of the operators and compensate the farmers for the losses. Therefore, operators should seriously and carefully examine pesticide registration certificates, production licenses, labels, QR codes, check addresses, web sites, contact numbers, save purchase and shipment vouchers, and do a good job of QR code scanning. for the new pesticides that start operation and those that are compounded and used by farmers, it is best to do experiments first to grasp the effects and methods of application, so as to be foolproof. In the event of drug damage or poisoning, it is necessary to report to the local agricultural bureau in time, cooperate actively and deal with it in a timely manner.
