The research and development of chemical pesticides began in the 1930s. With the advantages of convenient use and strong insecticidal activity, it has brought about a substantial increase in food production and has become an important driving force for the agricultural revolution.
However, the excessive use of chemical pesticides has also brought problems such as excessive pesticide residues, environmental pollution, and outbreaks of resistance of target pests.
In 2002, China proposed the concept of "green pesticides".
The focus of green pesticides is safety. In the National New Drug Safety Evaluation Center, new drugs that have passed a series of tests in biological testing, toxicological testing, operational safety, and production safety are green pesticides.
It is necessary to face pests, weeds and rodents, continuously increase drug resistance, and ensure the ideal control effect, but also ensure the safety of pesticides to humans, animals and the environment, and reduce the toxicity of pesticides as much as possible. The creation of such new pesticides is known as the green revolution of chemical pesticides.
