He has a sound scientific research.

He edited the first "Chinese Pesticide Codex", edited "Agricultural Encyclopedia - Pesticide Volume", edited and published "Chinese Pesticide Research and Application Encyclopedia", these books have become the basis for pesticide production, management, use, inspection, Important classics and reference books to follow and learn from in the fields of management and agricultural product safety

He has cultivated countless talents, founded the discipline of pesticides at Guizhou University, established the first doctoral program, the first key laboratory of the Ministry of Education, the first post-doctoral mobile station in Guizhou Province, and the first national key discipline and the first national key discipline in Guizhou Province.

He is Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Guizhou University Song Baoan

Practitioners of green pesticides

In 1986, Song Baoan, who graduated as a graduate student, returned to his alma mater, Guizhou University, and has been engaged in scientific research in the field of pesticide creation for more than 30 years

At that time, when people mentioned pesticides, they often thought of pesticide residues and pollution

Green pesticides are a key to solving the problems of traditional pesticides, and they need to be promoted collaboratively in the leadership of new biotechnology, the application of bioinformatics technology, and multi-disciplinary cross-border

In the field of process innovation, Song Baoan innovatively developed a new process for the direct closed-loop synthesis of imidacloprid from n-propionaldehyde.

　　In the field of soil-borne disease prevention and control, new technologies such as tolclophos-methyl and oxamidil independently developed by Song Baoan have been widely used in industrial production and have been adopted by many pesticide companies in China, resulting in significant economic benefits; independently developed Guangkuling series of new pesticides have become important agents for the prevention and control of soil-borne diseases in China, and have made contributions to the progress of China's pesticide industry

　　In the field of high-efficiency plant protection, the team of Academician Song Baoan cooperated with Guangxi Tianyuan Biochemical Co.

　　In response to the bottleneck problem of China's pesticide innovation, Song Baoan's "Green Pesticide Innovation and Original Molecular Targets" was selected into the 60 major scientific issues and engineering and technical problems released by the China Association for Science and Technology

　　Song Baoan, who has been deeply involved in the research and development of green pesticides, often requires himself and his team to "make every ordinary thing meticulous, delicate and extreme", and insists on original innovation and independent innovation, focusing on solving technical problems and industrialization in production practice.

　　2021 is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and the state has put forward higher requirements for the development of the pesticide industry and industrial innovation
.
Song Baoan also has his own unique insights into pesticide innovation during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period
.
He believes that according to the major needs of the country, aiming at the international frontier, aiming at the key problems restricting the creation and industrialization of green pesticides in China, through the integration of four key issues such as basic research on agricultural green inputs such as pesticides, key common technologies, product creation, and industrialization and joint innovation, and make breakthroughs in cutting-edge core technologies such as the creation and industrialization of major products such as new targets and molecular design of green drugs, synthetic biology of bio-pesticide, and the creation of new RNAi pesticides, and strive to create a group of independent intellectual property rights and international competitiveness.
The "blockbuster" level of new products, the establishment of its key industrial technology and agricultural application technology
.
At the same time, cultivate a group of leading talents in the field of pesticide innovation and a group of leading enterprises with strong international competitiveness to provide scientific and technological support for the implementation of agricultural green development and rural revitalization strategies
.

　　Among them, one pesticide was hailed by Song Baoan as "another new scientific and technological revolution in agriculture", which will provide a new solution for the sustainable development of agriculture
.
This is the RNAi pesticide that has emerged in the past two years
.
The use of RNAi pesticide interference technology can prevent pests or bacteria from translating and synthesizing related proteins, cut off their information transmission, and kill pests and bacteria at the genetic level, thereby helping humans kill crop pests, bacteria and weeds
.

　　"We should also combine the trends and characteristics of the current international research on the creation of new pesticides
.
For example, the frontier technologies of life science represented by functional genomics, proteomics, structural biology, chemical biology, and bioinformatics, especially gene editing.
The combination of disruptive technologies represented by Pesticide and the research on the creation of new pesticides has become increasingly close
.
At present, emerging technologies such as high-performance computing, big data and artificial intelligence have begun to be applied to the creation and research of new pesticides, which has greatly improved the efficiency of pesticide creation
.
At present, the world's pesticides The development of science and technology has entered a new era, and the synergy and penetration between multiple disciplines, the intersection and integration of new technologies, and the cross-border and integration of different industries have become the distinctive features of a new wave of pesticide technology innovation
.
" Song Baoan is working hard in this cross-border research field
.

　　China's Pesticide Science Ambassador

　　Scientific and technological innovation and scientific popularization are the two wings to realize innovation and development
.
Popularization is the key to let the public understand pesticides, understand pesticides, and use them scientifically
.
While busy with the greening of pesticides, Song Baoan is also constantly popularizing pesticides that are misunderstood by many people
.

　　He believes that, on the one hand, pesticide users do not understand pesticides, and they have inaccurate grasp of the application method, application period, application dose, and safe interval of application, which are the main reasons for excessive pesticide residues, phytotoxicity and poisoning.

.
On the other hand, the public does not understand pesticides, which leads to discoloration of "medicine"
.
Some agricultural product quality and safety incidents have caused pesticides to be "demonized"
.
In fact, through strict pesticide management and technological innovation, the toxicity of existing pesticides is far lower than some of the substances that you may often come into contact with.
People have too many misunderstandings about pesticides
.
For example, many cancers are caused by natural toxins in food, such as aflatoxin in corn, wheat, beans, and peanuts, which can lead to liver tumors and cirrhosis
.

　　"Without pesticides, food security would be impossible,
" Song Baoan said
.

　　As a popular science worker, Song Baoan stood on the podium of popular science again and again, spreading scientific concepts in simple and easy-to-understand words: there are more than 2,300 kinds of diseases, insects, weeds, and rats that are known to harm crops.
The damage caused serious damage to agricultural production and caused serious yield loss every year; the Irish famine in the nineteenth century had caused the Irish population to drop by nearly 1/4, and the famine was mainly caused by potato late blight.
In prevention and control, human beings will be defeated in the battle for food with pests; in addition to crop diseases and insect pests, sanitary pests also seriously affect human health, such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, etc.
They carry a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, which can cause food poisoning , spread hepatitis, tuberculosis, malaria, dengue fever and other diseases; it is not only medicine that can protect human health, but eliminating the source of disease from the source or the transmission medium is also one of the important means to ensure that people are free from the disease, while pesticides are has always played such an important role.
.
.

　　Advocate of safe and scientific drug use

　　Pesticide is not only an important helper for people to protect crop growth and food security, but also a major risk factor affecting the quality and safety of agricultural products
.
How to avoid disadvantages and minimize risks? "Correct understanding, strict management, standardized use, and scientific development
.
" Song Baoan summed up the 16-character motto
.

　　Correct understanding requires popular science, and standardized use requires vigorous promotion of green prevention and control technologies
.
In order to better promote green prevention and control technology, Song Baoan refined it into different actions at the strategic level, policy level, and research and development level
.

　　At the strategic level, Song Baoan believes that a new concept of plant protection should be established with ecology as the root, agronomy as the foundation, and biocontrol as the first, and establish a new strategy of crop health-oriented green plant protection throughout the process
.

　　At the policy level, Song Baoan called for the formulation of incentive policies for the promotion and application of green prevention and control technologies, boldly exploring pest control policies based on the whole-process health of crops and regional specialization, and jumping out of the past "single disease and single insect" control policy
.

　　In terms of research and development, he advocates multi-industry collaboration in scientific research, production and promotion, and establishes a large collaborative innovation alliance covering pesticide companies, colleges and universities, and plant protection promotion and application departments to develop more efficient, environmentally friendly and safer green pesticides and Ecological pesticides, and make full use of all social forces to speed up the promotion and application of green prevention and control inputs
.

　　At the technical level, he hopes to establish a green prevention and control system for crop diseases and insect pests with agronomic, biological or physical control and other non-chemical control measures as the main content, and maintain a sustainable crop farmland ecosystem
.

　　Promoter of green prevention and control technology

　　Over the years, Song Baoan has led Guizhou University to fight poverty all the time, insisting on "writing the paper on the ground" and playing a "three sets of combined punches".
The school's green pesticide and pest green prevention and control innovation team has also been rated as a national innovation team.
It is an advanced collective for poverty alleviation, a national advanced collective in professional technology, an advanced collective in the national education system, and a Huang Danian->
.

　　It is understood that Guizhou University has 20 first-level discipline doctoral programs, with more than 1,000 doctoral students and more than 13,000 master students, with abundant human resources
.
In order to help the poverty alleviation in Guizhou Province, in November 2017, Guizhou University innovatively implemented the "Doctor Village Chief" targeted poverty alleviation project
.
The project researchers are composed of doctoral students, master students and undergraduate students of Guizhou University.
It aims to rely on the school's academic advantages and rely on 12 rural industries in Guizhou Province to establish a poverty alleviation work model of "industry + experts + bases + doctoral village chiefs".
We will organize farmer's schools in the field to teach farmers effective techniques, so that farmers can benefit from it, so that farmers can truly increase their income and contribute to poverty alleviation
.
It has been publicized and reported by the People's Daily, CCTV News Network and the front page headlines of Guangming Daily, and has been selected as a model of targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation by the Ministry of Education for three consecutive times
.

　　Guizhou is a major tea-producing province.
Years of practice have proved that the most difficult aspect of tea quality control is pesticide residues, which is a worldwide problem
.
Song Baoan has always advocated the concept of "ecology as the root, agronomy as the foundation, and biocontrol as the first", and promotes green development; insists on controlling grass with grass, pest control, immune control, and reducing the use of pesticides to ensure the quality and safety of tea ;Strengthen green prevention and control and promote green prevention and control technology of tea gardens in Guizhou.
The concept is to combine ecology and agronomy to build the quality and safety of tea in Guizhou
.

　　"Clean tea is managed
.
Talent team building, soil evaluation, input control, and dynamic monitoring are all very important.
Only by focusing on improving the quality of personnel in the entire industry chain, scientifically planning new tea gardens, scientifically managing tea gardens, and strictly controlling tea garden inputs can we With
this idea, Song Baoan allowed Guizhou University to walk out a unique path in poverty alleviation, always using science and technology poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation and the combination of school and agriculture, and actively integrated into the main battlefield of poverty alleviation in Guizhou Province
.
Under his leadership, researchers from the first-class disciplines of plant protection in Guizhou University have specially constructed green prevention and control technologies that use grass to control weeds, insects to control insects, and bacteria to control bacteria.
Green prevention and control and quality and safety work have provided a strong guarantee for the development of Guizhou Clean Tea, the country's largest planting area
.

　　"I hope to spread the green prevention and control experience of Guizhou tea gardens to the whole country and benefit more farmers
.
" Song Baoan said
