Nutrition × Plant Protection: A Synergetic Revolution in Agricultural Inputs Amid Extreme Climate

In recent years, global agriculture has entered a phase of high uncertainty. Extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods, prolonged droughts, and severe storms have evolved from occasional disasters in the past into regular factors reshaping the global agricultural production pattern. These climate shocks not only directly threaten the stability of crop yields but also force farmers, regulatory authorities, and input suppliers to completely restructure the combination logic of fertilizer and plant protection schemes. Against this backdrop, achieving in-depth integration of crop nutrition and plant protection ingredients with biostimulants as a bridge to create integrated solutions has become a core trend for the industry to break through predicaments. This transformation is driven not only by climate pressure but also by the dual impetus of regulatory guidance and market demand.

Pesticide Market Update: Lambda-cyhalothrin Price Increases, while Glyphosate and Other Varieties See Adjustments

The pesticide market largely continued its previous trend last week, with the overall trading atmosphere failing to gain significant momentum. Terminal procurement demand remained relatively flat, and many market participants maintained a wait-and-see attitude. The market is currently characterized by three key trends: Prices for most products are fluctuating within a low range as the industry's primary focus remains on destocking existing inventory. A few products, however, are holding firm. This is due to a combination of low existing inventory and insufficient operating rates at manufacturing plants, which has led to a tightening of market supply. Conversely, some products that experienced significant price hikes earlier are now on a downward trajectory. Weighed down by the dual pressures of oversupply and weak demand, these products lack support from the demand side and may see further price declines in the short term.

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.
