1 Steady biopesticide high quality development "fixed star"
1.1 Positive policies to enhance the development momentum of biopesticides
Zhang Jianqiu, editor-in-chief and general manager of China Chemical News Co., LTD., pointed out in his speech at the meeting that "this tells the agriculture and agricultural materials industry from another Angle to seize the opportunity, develop at a high level and quality, and develop high-quality productivity."
Biopesticide is a small branch of the agricultural materials industry, but it is the most innovative gene, the most potential for development of a branch, in line with the needs of agricultural modernization, in line with the national policy of double reduction. Zhang Jianqiu pointed out that we must be clear that the development of any industry is guided by the national policy guidelines and must follow the national industrial policy guidelines.
Zhang Jianqiu believes that the most important policy is to stabilize growth. At the Central Economic Work Conference, the 12 words of "seeking progress in stability, promoting stability with progress, establishing first and then breaking" clarified the internal logic and sequence of steady growth, which is the fundamental compliance of all walks of life in our country for a period of time. Agriculture is one of the stable stars of the country, and the guarantee role and innovative development of the agricultural material industry must follow the internal logic and sequence. Therefore, it is a big opportunity for the biopesticide industry to develop.
1.2 The process of biopesticide registration has been significantly accelerated
The state invests to promote scientific and technological innovation, reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and provide opportunities for the development of biopesticides and biological control methods. Zhang Hongjun, director of the Pesticide Inspection Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, analyzed the registration management of biopesticides in China from three aspects: registration management, industry development and future expectations.
At present, China has significantly relaxed the registration management of biological pesticides compared with chemical pesticides in terms of residue, toxicology, potency and environmental impact, and even does not need to submit residue information. According to relevant data, a total of 109 new active ingredients were applied for from 2018 to 2023. Among the registered active ingredients, 48 biological pesticides were obtained, including 7 plant source pesticides, 13 biological chemical pesticides and 28 microbial pesticides. Biopesticides accounted for 44.0% of the total active ingredients. However, from the overall number of pesticide registration, biopesticides still accounted for a low proportion of registered pesticide products, with 624 biochemical pesticides, accounting for 1.5%. In terms of the output of various types of biological pesticides, the output of biochemical pesticides was the highest, which was 11,694 tons, microbial pesticides were more than 8,000 tons, and plant source pesticides were 7,445 tons. Zhang Hongjun stressed that in recent years, the proportion of biopesticide registration has increased significantly, and the process has accelerated significantly.
1.3 It is imperative to accelerate the development of biopesticide industry
With the continuous development of science and technology, the call to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and protect the human living environment is increasing, and the research, development and utilization of biopesticides to control crop diseases and pests are increasing, and the status and role of biopesticides in the comprehensive control of diseases and pests is becoming more and more important. Wang Fengle, vice president of China Pesticide Development and Application Association and former chief expert of the National Agricultural Technology Center, pointed out that entering a new stage, implementing the new development concept, developing biopesticide and agricultural green high-quality development, and ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products, and protecting the ecological environment and the coordinated development of society, China's biopesticide application has shown a new situation of accelerated development.
Wang Fengle said that the application area of biopesticides in China has continued to expand, and the usage has grown rapidly. In a series of comprehensive solutions and typical models for the scientific use of biopesticides, the promotion of the use of mu in order from largest to smallest are biochemical pesticides, plant source pesticides and microbial pesticides. With the implementation of the zero-growth action of pesticide use and the reduction action of chemical pesticides, China's crop pest control area and chemical control area basically showed a downward trend, and the use of biological pesticides has maintained a growth momentum, rising year by year from 680 million mu in 2015, breaking through 1 billion mu for the first time in 2018, and exceeding 1.4 billion mu by 2022.
2. Strengthen technological innovation and make efforts to "new quality productivity"
2.1 Finding new quality productivity in the "gaps in history"
"As long as you find the cracks in history, go there a little early to squat, when the wheel of history over, you will be carried to fly!" Zhai Xiaojiu, Chairman of AXEB (China), brought his share of "Gaps in history - the vents of biochemical pesticides" at the meeting. Zhai Xiaojiu also stressed that biochemical pesticides represent the new quality productivity of the development of the industry! To this end, after 1,458 days of guarding, AXEB (China) made efforts to "new quality productivity" and successfully built a matrix of biochemical pesticide products.
Zhai Xiaojiu said that at this meeting, AXEB (China) brought the release of new ingredients and brands of biochemical pesticides, including 1 dosage form technology and 9 new active ingredients of biochemical pesticides. 1 dosage form technology, that is, green nano "bullet core" packaging technology. 9 new active ingredients of biochemical pesticides, namely, fungal vaccine - Senbaokang ®, vaccine - Copper - Tai Dong ®, non-dedusting protective agent - Membrane X, 36 degrees of safe use - Kang X, copper with "tail" - copper X, "supplement two knife" thrips - isolation of devils ®, borers interfering agent - Love barrier, leaf spray defense agent - inflammation line, RNA pesticide - Thistle.
At the same time, more than 10 new products will be launched in the next 2 to 3 years; In the next 3 to 5 years, more than 30 new products will be launched. In the next 6 to 10 years, a strong matrix of biochemical pesticide products will be formed.
During the meeting, some people asked how AXEB (China) could introduce so many new ingredients of biochemical pesticides at once, which sounded impossible. In this regard, Zhai Xiaojiu pointed out that it is because the research and development model of AXEB (China) is different. The research and development of AXEB (China) is supported by cutting-edge technologies developed by global green biology pioneers, and the core competitiveness lies in global leadership and global experience.
Biochemical pesticides, with chemical enthusiasm, biological nourishment, the time is ripe for change! In the next 10 years, Zhai defines it as a "gap in the history" of AXEB (China) biochemical pesticide innovation and promotion, and he is convinced that combining biochemical pesticides with traditional crop protection products in a wise way will bring greater benefits to agriculture!
Apply biological science to pesticide production! Zhai Rui, Director of Consumer goods business of AXEB (China), said that the progress of The Times has made us pay more attention to food safety, and AXEB (China) R & D center is jointly developed with the global green biological pioneer, committed to making biological science into the core competitiveness of products, through the organic combination of innovative technology and green development, to meet more green hopes.
On the basis of European research and development, AXEB (China) will be the world's 5 new products in 2024 - Kang X, membrane X, Copper X, Senbao Kang ®, Tai Dong ®, belong to the biochemical pesticides, new ingredients, China's first! With the continuous launch of AXEB (China) biochemical pesticide products and the continuous development of research and development, AXEB (China) brand strategy upgrade and refresh.

Look to the future, fulfill the commitment of green development, and shape a green life.
2.2 Nanotechnology helps improve the performance of biopesticides
"Why are biopesticides getting so much attention recently? Why should the hot nanotechnology be combined with biopesticides? "I think it's a very forward-looking concept that I read through the gaps of history, and my question was suddenly answered." Huang Qiliang, a researcher at the Institute of Plant Protection of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said at the meeting, "We have finally found the advantages of biopesticides, we must put biopesticides in the application scenario to analyze, can not be compared with chemical pesticides directly."
As we all know, nano pesticides, as an emerging technology in the field of modern agricultural plant protection, has become a research hotspot since this century. When introducing the "Application of nanotechnology in the research and development of biopesticide preparations", Huang Qiliang pointed out that for biopesticides, most biopesticides can be nano-ized, and nanotechnology can improve the application performance of biopesticides. The quality core of nano pesticide is nano scale and its small scale effect. Compared with non-nano pesticide, the efficacy of nano pesticide can be increased by 31.5% and 18.9% in field. Application process loss can be reduced by 41.4%; Leaching loss in soil can be reduced by 22.1%.
2.3 New biopesticide technology opens up a new track for development
Biopesticides are a "key" to solve the problem of traditional pesticides, which can alleviate the resistance of chemical pesticides, meet the demand for high-quality agricultural products, and solve the obstacles of soil continuous cropping. So, the development of new biopesticide technology in the future should also pay attention to several directions? Fang Wei, associate researcher of Hubei Province biopesticide Engineering Research Center, introduced the innovative development of new biopesticides under cutting-edge technologies, pointing out that they mainly include biological seed coating agents, RNA pesticides, protein pesticides, phage pesticides, plant immune inducers, biological herbicides and so on.
Fang Wei also pointed out that the scale of the biopesticide industry is developing rapidly. In 2020, the global market value of biopesticides is 4.3 billion US dollars, and it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14.7%, and the market value is expected to exceed chemical pesticides by 2050. Since 2012, multinational companies have been mergers and acquisitions of biopesticide companies, and large-scale biopesticide companies have become the object of looting. In terms of the research and development of new biopesticide varieties in China, the number of patents in China has shown a blowout growth since 2010, and by the end of 2021, there are 126 biopesticide varieties in China, which has more than doubled compared with 61 in 2011. At the same time, Fang Wei stressed that although there is a lack of new and efficient biopesticide varieties at present, biopesticides must be the future potential for the development of China's pesticide industry!
2.4 High-end dialogue: Building the future through biology
