As people pay more attention to food safety, the problem of excessive use of pesticides in agricultural products is the first to bear the brunt. In particular, highly toxic pesticides are particularly harmful to human beings. Just a few days ago, five farmers were sentenced in accordance with the law for the crime of producing and selling toxic food by using pesticides prohibited by the state in the process of growing parsley.

Up to now, 22 of the 39 highly toxic pesticides commonly used by farmers have been withdrawn from the market, and the rest will be gradually banned. A few days ago, it has been announced that 12 highly toxic pesticides will be completely banned within a time limit.

These 12 pesticides are: aldicarb, methamidophos and isocarbophos, which will be banned completely in 2018; endosulfan and methyl bromide, which will be banned completely in 2019; chlorophos, carbofuran and methomyl will be banned in 2022.

In other words, if the above-mentioned highly toxic pesticides are used illegally after the specified time, they will face the consequences of criminal punishment.

Behind the prohibition, it shows the deficiency of agricultural technology in our country. Why are many farmers willing to use highly toxic or even highly toxic pesticides? One reason is that the vegetables grown are sold for money, and they don't eat them. Another reason is that the use of this pesticide is effective and effective!

Wouldn't it be better to improve the planting technology of farmers, scientific management and fertilization, and solve the problem of the spread of diseases and insect pests from the root causes, so as to achieve the goal of reducing pesticides or not using pesticides?

Or, develop new biological pesticides for the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. Remember one thing, it's one-third of the poison, not to mention pesticides? It's time to stop the cycle of hurting each other!
