Strengthening Seedling Pest and Disease Control to Lay a Solid Foundation for Winter Rape Harvest

Since the middle and late September this year, the combined impact of the "West China Autumn Rain" and autumn floods has led to persistently high soil moisture in the main winter rape - producing areas such as Southwest China and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This has created favorable conditions for the occurrence and spread of various pests and diseases, including seedling blight (root rot), damping - off disease, and cabbage leaf beetle. The seedling stage is a crucial foundation - laying period for the growth and development of winter rape, and the effectiveness of pest and disease control directly affects the subsequent growth, yield, and quality of the crop. To accurately respond to the current pest and disease control situation and consolidate the foundation for a good rape harvest, the National Agricultural Technology Extension and Service Center has specially formulated and issued the Technical Guidance on Pest and Disease Control for Autumn - sown Winter Rape Seedlings in 2025, providing scientific control guidance for growers in the producing areas.

Argentina's 2025/26 Agricultural Start: Soybean Sowing Begins with Mixed Prospects, Wheat Faces Critical Challenges

According to the latest weekly report from the Rosario Grain Exchange (BCR), the core agricultural regions of Argentina have officially launched the sowing of soybeans for the 2025/26 season. Although the profit prospects for soybean cultivation this season have improved significantly compared with last year, and the yield target is set to exceed 4 tons per hectare, the uncertainty of weather and the expected huge supply from neighboring Brazil still cast a shadow over farmers. At the same time, wheat in the critical grain-filling period is facing the dual threats of drought and frost, showing a distinct pattern of mixed prospects at the start of Argentina's agricultural production.

Argentina's Agriculture: Advantages, Dilemmas and a New Chapter of China-Argentina Cooperation

Argentina is a globally recognized traditional agricultural powerhouse. Its vast and flat arable land, fertile soil, climate with synchronized rainfall and heat, and large-scale mechanized farming have collectively forged its core agricultural advantages of "high yield, low cost, and superior quality". For a long time, agriculture and animal husbandry have been the cornerstone of Argentina's economy. Agriculture and its auxiliary processing industries contribute more than half of the country's total export value and create nearly a quarter of its employment opportunities.

Agricultural Chemical New Standards Under Public Consultation: 7 Standards Lay a Solid Foundation for Scientific Pesticide Use

Recently, the Efficacy Evaluation Office of the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (ICAMA) issued the "Letter on Soliciting Opinions on 7 Agricultural Industry Standards including Classification and Coding of Pesticide Modes of Action", seeking public opinions from the society. These 7 standards cover the classification of pesticide modes of action and efficacy test guidelines for the control of diseases and pests in various crops. They aim to further improve China's pesticide registration and evaluation technical system, enhance the scientificity and standardization of pesticide use, and provide solid technical support for agricultural production safety and agricultural product quality safety.

Milbemectin Granted Long-Term Renewal Approval in the EU: Parallel Pursuit of Scientific Evaluation and Risk Management

On October 15, 2025, the Official Journal of the European Union published Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2068, formally renewing the approval for the active substance milbemectin as a plant protection product. The valid approval period will extend from November 16, 2025, to November 15, 2040. This 15-year renewal period not only provides institutional guarantee for the stable application of milbemectin in agricultural production within the EU but also highlights the core principle of "taking scientific rigor as the foundation and flexible procedures as the supplement" in the EU's evaluation of pesticide active substances.

Flemish Ruling Parties Push for PFAS Pesticide Phase-Out Strategy by 2026, Adopting Multi-Dimensional Approach to Safeguard Drinking Water Safety and Ecological Balance

Recently, the ruling coalition in Belgium's Flemish region formally submitted a proposal to the regional government, explicitly requiring the formulation of a comprehensive drinking water resource protection strategy by January 2026. A core focus of this strategy is the phased phase-out of various pesticide products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This initiative is not an impromptu idea; rather, it represents a consensus-based policy direction formed by the Flemish Parliament following months of efforts, including organizing multiple high-level expert hearings to fully demonstrate the long-term hazards of PFAS—known as "forever chemicals"—to human health and the ecological environment. It underscores the local determination and scientific approach to addressing persistent pollution.

Paraguay: The Regional Efficiency Pioneer Solving Brazil's Agrochemical Dilemma

As a major global consumer of agrochemical inputs, Brazil's industry has long been constrained by two structural challenges: the "logistics water tax" dilemma caused by over-reliance on imported finished products, and the bottleneck of local production due to complex and high tax burdens. However, neighboring Paraguay, with its unique policy advantages, logistics innovations, and operational cost benefits, has emerged as the key to breaking this deadlock, offering Brazilian agrochemical enterprises a new solution for cost arbitrage and market access.
