Biopesticides are generally natural compounds or genetic modification agents, mainly including biochemical pesticides (pheromone, hormones, plant regulators, insect growth regulators) and microbial pesticides (fungi, bacteria, insect viruses, protozoa, or genetically modified pesticides). Microorganisms) two parts, agricultural antibiotic preparations are not included. According to their components and sources, biopesticides in my country can be divided into four parts: live microbial pesticides, microbial metabolite pesticides, plant-derived pesticides, and animal-derived pesticides. According to the control objects, they can be divided into insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, acaricides, rodenticides, plant growth regulators, etc. In terms of their use objects, biopesticides are generally divided into two categories: direct use of living organisms and use of physiologically active substances derived from organisms. The former includes bacteria, fungi, nematodes, viruses and antagonistic microorganisms, etc., and the latter includes agricultural antibiotics, plants Growth regulators, sex pheromones, feeding inhibitors, juvenile hormones and physiologically active substances derived from plants, etc. However, in the practical application of agricultural production in my country, biopesticides generally refer to microbial-derived pesticides that can be produced in large-scale industrial production.
Industry analysts from Shangpu Consulting pointed out that with the continuous development of the international organic agricultural product market, the growing market demand for agricultural products without the side effects of chemical fertilizers, and the increasing resistance of chemical pesticides to pests, the world is looking for pollution-free biopesticides. The demand for biopesticides is also growing day by day, and the production and development prospects of biopesticides are very broad. At present, the total investment in chemical pesticides around the world averages 100 million US dollars per year, but the investment in biopesticides is only 100 million US dollars, accounting for only 1% of the total. In Central America, biopesticides only account for the regional pesticide market. The production capacity of biopesticides in Asia and Latin America is also very weak. However, given the increasing demand for harmless agricultural products from consumers around the world, there is broad scope for the development of biopesticides.
In Latin America, Cuba, Colombia and Brazil are currently leading countries in the use of biopesticides. The countries that use the most biopesticides in the world are Mexico, the United States and Canada. The use of biopesticides in the three countries accounts for the world's total. Europe accounts for the world's use of biopesticides, Asia accounts for it, Oceania accounts for it, Latin America and the Caribbean accounts for it, and Africa accounts for it.
The proportion of biopesticides used in various parts of the world
The production and development prospects of biopesticides in China are very broad
Biotechnology is the leader of the century Technology, biopesticides will surely become one of the hot spots in the development of pesticides in the century due to their broad spectrum, high efficiency, safety, and good environmental compatibility, and the proportion of biopesticides in pesticides will also become larger and larger. Although chemically synthesized pesticides will still dominate for a certain period of time, with the enhancement of people's environmental awareness, the improvement of national quality, the improvement of laws and regulations, and the penetration and application of modern high-tech in agricultural production and application fields and pesticide development and research fields, The development and utilization of biopesticides will develop rapidly. At present, the development of biopesticides is facing the best opportunities in history, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects
The "2019 China Biopesticide Industry Market Survey and Research Report" released by Shangpu Consulting shows that the state's The adjustment of pesticide variety structure and agricultural industry structure has provided policy guidance and strong implementation support for the development of biopesticides. The elimination of highly toxic pesticides has freed up a broad market space for biopesticides. After joining, export pesticide products The structure will be adjusted accordingly with the rise of domestic ecological industries, etc. In addition, in order to encourage the rapid development of biopesticides, the pollution-free agricultural production action adopted by the Ministry of Agriculture and the organic food development strategy adopted by the former State Environmental Protection Administration have provided active policy support for the development of biopesticides. Some local governments have also restricted the use of biopesticides. In the annual science and technology plan, the Ministry of Science and Technology listed biopesticides as a key research project. It can be seen that the development of Century biopesticides will have good market prospects.
