On 9 June, 2012, the
foundation-laying ceremony of a botanical insecticide production base was held
in Sheqi County ,
a key tobacco planting region in Henan
Province . By extracting
nicotine and solanesol from tobacco and other plants, the production base aims
to supply low-toxic and inexpensive biological insecticides to domestic farmers,
according to CCM International’s July issue of Insecticides China News.
After being put into operation in 2013, the
production base will be able to process 70,000 tonnes of plant raw materials
each year, outputting 300 tonnes of 98% botanical nicotine with purity over 98%
and 420 tonnes of botanical solanesol with purity over 90%. Eventually, about
40,000 tonnes of biological insecticides and 50,000 tonnes of bio-organic
fertilizers would be produced with a maximum capacity annually.
The production base totally covers an area of
27 ha ., with total
investment of nearly USD95.24 million (RMB600 million) from Henan Boyi
Investment Co., Ltd. (Henan Boyi, a prominent high-tech biological investor in Henan Province ).
It is expected that an annual revenue of USD439.60 million (RMB2.8 billion)
would be generated after the formal launch.
According to Liu Gang, President of Henan
Boyi, the sub-critical fluid extraction technology will be applied to extract
nicotine and solanesol from tobacco leaf and other plant materials. Compared
with conventional extraction methods, this technology owns multiple advantages,
such as environmentally friendly, perfectly maintaining the activity of
extracts, energy saving, low operation cost, etc. Mr. Liu also revealed that
botanical pesticides will be developed and produced relied on the effective
compounding of target products extracted from plant materials.
The biological insecticide production project
of Henan Boyi reveives strong support from governments for its merits of
energy-conservative and eco-friendly. Delegates from the Ministry of
Agriculture, Chinese
Academy of Agricultural
Sciences, Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences and local government took part
in the foundation-laying ceremony.
Botanical insecticides are a hot field of
research at present. Several botanical insecticides have been applied by
domestic farmers at present, such as matrine, nicotine, rotenone, pyrethrins
and azadirachtin.
Eco-friendliness, easy degradation, low
residue and low resistance generated by pests make botanical pesticides well
recognized, which are superior to chemical pesticides. Botanical pesticides are
embracing a great development chance, said Director Zhang Xing from Northwest A&F University .
Highly toxic pesticides are banned one after
another in China ,
while eco-friendly pesticides, like botanical insecticides, are enjoying a
steadily increasing demand. As mentioned in the Decision on Speeding up
Cultivation and Development of Strategic Infant Industry promulgated by the
State Council, the Chinese government will "pay attention to cultivate
biological breeding industry and promote green agricultural biological products
to stimulate the development of biological agriculture" in the
future.
