With the continuous development of pesticide technology, the structure of pesticide varieties in China has undergone significant changes. New high-efficiency, low-toxicity, and safe varieties, new formulations, and novel mixtures have been continuously emerging, and application technology has entered a new stage. People's understanding of pesticides has also undergone new changes. Due to the wide variety of commercial pesticide products, on one hand, multiple pesticides are available to control certain pests, diseases, and weeds, and on the other hand, many pesticides have the function of controlling multiple pests, diseases, and weeds. This requires users to understand the performance and efficacy of different pesticide varieties and to use them optimally. To meet this new demand, more than 300 experts and scholars from more than 100 pesticide research, production units, and plant protection and agricultural extension units across the country were organized to compile the "Pesticide Encyclopedia" as one of the large-scale specialized reference books in the "Contemporary Agricultural Gold Classics Series" and presented to the readers. The book provides detailed introductions to the physicochemical properties, molecular structures, toxicity and efficacy, preparation methods, and application technology of more than 1,500 pesticide varieties. The content is comprehensive, systematic, standardized, and practical, with convenient retrieval, making it a valuable tool for agricultural extension personnel, pesticide production personnel, pesticide operators, pesticide researchers, agricultural chemical teaching personnel, and agricultural management personnel in their work.
