Scientific and Technological Innovation Leads a New Chapter in Agricultural Resistance Management

Since the promotion of genetically modified (GM) crops in the United States in 1996, the global agricultural production landscape has undergone a profound transformation. Insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant GM corn, soybeans, canola, and cotton have rapidly spread across North and South America, significantly boosting crop yields and production efficiency. This has not only reduced pesticide use but also lowered production costs and alleviated environmental pressure.

Carbendazim and Thiophanate-methyl: Half a Century of Controversy and Renewal

In 1967, an accidental discovery of "Carbendazim" at DuPont's American lab opened a new chapter in pesticide application. Four years later, Japanese scientists, through structural modification, developed "Thiophanate-methyl" with enhanced penetrative power. These two chemically similar "siblings" quickly became key weapons in combating fungal diseases in crops worldwide over the next five decades. However, alongside their widespread use, concerns about potential carcinogenic residues led to continuous scrutiny and restrictions.

Spiromesifen: A New Domestic Opportunity Post-Patent Expiry, Reshaping Mite Control Landscape

In agricultural production, the threat of harmful mites is ever-present, and efficient, safe acaricides have always been a market focus. Spiromesifen, an outstanding representative of the ketoenol acaricides, has long been constrained by core patent protection, hindering its widespread promotion and application in the domestic market. Now, with the unlocking of its core patent, coupled with the current scarcity of registered products in China, Spiromesifen is ushering in an unprecedented "window period" of development, bringing immense potential to reshape the mite control landscape for China's pesticide industry.
