Xie Simian, president of CAC Group Co., Ltd. firstly made a speech and extended congratulations to the opening of this conference.

The limited formulation of pesticide type and quantity is the No.1 bottleneck that restricts the development of Chinese pesticide. During the period of the 12^th Five-Year Plan, capability of independent innovation and technological level of industry have constantly enhanced.

Firstly, the conference reviewed the achievements our pesticide innovation made during the period of the 12^th Five-Year Plan.

Secondly, the conference introduced a new pesticide innovation research method named intermediate derivatization method, which is suited for our national conditions, pointing out that the R&D of new pesticide faces with huge difficulties and low success rate, and pesticide innovation is actually science of trial and error. 

Thirdly, the conference focused on the risk evaluation and management requirement of pesticide environment, and environmental risks of exploring secondary compounds by cases. The products development of enterprises needs basic data of technical materials while preparations need basic ecological data. For Recent years, the number of field trial permit in China has constantly increased, reaching the highest record of 5467 in 2014. In addition, the product structure of pesticide field trial in China has a tendency towards equilibrium featured with concentrated applications of overdue patent product trials and equal shares of leading variety and secondary variety.  

Finally, Martin Clark, former responsible officers of global quality in Dowagro and HSE, elaborated for enterprises how to identify and control risks, as well as evaluate subsequent effects. Martin mentioned that the known risks should be eliminated as possible, or be taken measures to lower the risks in order to have capacity to control when risks happened.
