Is the "biological weapon" developed by Professor China better than traditional pesticides?

"I am engaged in' biological weapons', but' killing insects without killing people'." On 14, Xia Yuxian, a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Chongqing University, pointed to a sugarcane field. In this field, the "broad-spectrum Metarhizium biological pesticide" called "biological weapon" by Xia Yuxian is quietly killing insects.

"Broad-spectrum Metarhizium Biopesticide" is a fungal pesticide produced with rice and edible salad oil as main raw materials, which was developed by Xia Yuxian's scientific research team. Not only the production of raw materials is environmentally friendly, but also the produced "broad-spectrum Metarhizium anisopliae biopesticide" is a slightly toxic biopesticide, which is called "drinkable pesticide".

After repeated experiments, Xia Yuxian led the researchers to find a broad-spectrum and excellent strain Metarhizium anisopliae among 1000 strains of insecticidal microorganisms. With the support of the agricultural sector, the research team started from 20 1 1, and conducted thousands of acres of experimental demonstrations and large-scale applications in major rice producing areas such as Hubei, Hunan and Guangxi, and established nearly 100 experimental demonstration sites. With the new pesticide registration and production license of Metarhizium anisopliae biopesticide in China, Xia Yuxian and his research team established the world's largest fungal biopesticide production base in Fuling, Chongqing. At present, the annual output of Metarhizium anisopliae biopesticide is about 3000 tons, and the annual output can reach 28000 tons after mass production. From machine research and development on pesticide production line to pesticide preparation, it all comes from Xia Yuxian and his research team.
