Introduction

Background of Standard Revision and Technological Evolution

As an important technical specification for green food production, NY/T 393-2020 reflects my country's latest requirements for sustainable development of agriculture and quality and safety of agricultural products. Compared with the 2013 edition, this revision mainly responds to the following technological developments:

Revision dimensions 2013 edition 2020 edition Technical significance
Definition of pesticide Not clearly defined New clause 3.3 Regulate the boundaries of terminology use
Principles of prevention and control Physical prevention and control is given priority Emphasis on integrated management In line with the IPM concept
List management Static list Dynamic adjustment mechanism Adapting to regulatory changes

Analysis of key changes

1. Structural adjustment of pesticide list

Among the AA-level permitted biological pesticides:

  • Streptomycin sulfate was removed due to resistance risk
  • Plant attractants such as Vetiver were added
  • Growth regulators such as Ethanol and Hydroxyethyl Ethanol were added

2. Upgrade of residue requirements

Chapter 7 clearly stipulates:

"The pesticide residue amount shall comply with the requirements of GB 2763 and relevant green food product standards, and shall not exceed the residue limit of the pesticide"

Implementation suggestions

Compliance operation process

  1. Refer to Appendix A to establish a dynamic pesticide list
  2. Biological control measures in Table A.1 should be used preferentially
  3. When using chemical pesticides, the model and calibration data of the application equipment should be recorded
