Rice Diseases and Insect Pests to Seriously Hit Zhejiang in 2012

According to Zhejiang Plant Protection Station (ZPPS), in 2012 diseases and insect pests of major crops, especially rice, will occur more seriously in Zhejiang Province (an eastern coastal province of China) over last year, based on factors mainly including the cardinal number of overwintering diseases and insect pests, crop distribution, weather trend, etc., according to CCM International’s May issue of Insecticides China News.

It is expected that the occurrence of diseases and insect pests of wheat and rape will moderately occur, while that of rice will be serious. Among rice pests, the damage of migratory pests such as rice brown plant hopper and rice leaf folder will be as serious as that in 2011, and that of first generation of chilo suppressalis and rice sheath blight will be moderate. 

The total stricken area of rice diseases and insect pests will accumulatively reach around 8.00 million ha. in Zhejiang in 2012 with 0.67 million ha. increase compared with 7.33 million ha. in 2011. And rice plant hopper is the most serious insect pest, followed by chilo suppressalis and rice leaf folder.

White-backed plant hopper and brown plant hopper will moderately to seriously occur, with occurrence area of about 1.33 million ha. and 1.67 million ha. respectively. And the areas in which rice leaf folder's occurrence will be moderate to serious will hit about 2 million ha. The occurrence of rice stem borer, especially chilo suppressalis, varies in different regions, covering stricken area of 0.67 million ha. In the north of Zhejiang, the population of sesamia inferens will very likely rise.

Recommended insecticides to control brown rice plant hopper mainly include pymetrozine, buprofezin, chlorpyrifos, DDVP and isoprocarb; those for white backed planthopper include imidacloprid, pymetrozine, buprofezin, nitenpyram and thiamethoxam; and those for control of rice leaf roller mainly include abamectin, emamectin benzoate, chloantraniliprole, indoxacarb, phenthoate and profenofos.

 

In addition, rice sheath blight will moderately to seriously hit paddy fields in Zhejiang, with area of 0.87 million ha. Rice false smut and rice virus diseases such as rice stripe diseases and rice black streaked dwarf will hit the fields at a moderate way. 

The total stricken area of wheat diseases and insect pests will accumulatively hit about 0.16 million ha. in Zhejiang Province in 2012, more serious over last year. Among the pests, key species to strike wheat mainly including wheat aphid and wheat plant hopper will bring moderate or light damage to the main planting regions of wheat in Zhejiang this year. And gibberellin's damage will be moderate. 

The total stricken area of rape diseases and insect pests is predicted to accumulatively hit 0.27 million ha. in Zhejiang this year. In particular, rape stem rot will moderately to seriously strike the main planting regions of rape in Zhejiang this year. Rape sclerotium disease is one of the most serious rape diseases.

2012 China's Insecticide Demand Expected to hit 124,100 Tonnes

China's insecticide demand is predicted to reach 124,100 tonnes in 2012, based on the result from National Agricultural Technology Extension and Service Center (NATESC) by analyzing information collected from local crop protection stations of 31 key planting provinces/municipalities. The total national demand for pesticides will hit 313,600 tonnes (984,000 tonnes for formulations), posting a 2.48% year-on-year growth in 2012. CCM International’s December issue of Insecticides China News reports the detail of it.

Guo Yongwang, Director of NATESC reviewed the performance of insecticide in 2011. He said the pesticide sales in 2011 was slack. The insecticides demand declined in 2011 due to light occurrence of insect pests, especially pymetrozine, buprofeizin, abamectin and emamectin benzoate with an obvious reduction.

However, as the structure of China's pesticide demand tends to be more reasonable, insecticides demand in 2012 will become the largest among the three pesticide categories in China, hitting about 124,100 tonnes, up 1.21% year on year and accounting for 40.44% of the total demand for pesticides.

Specifically, the demand for organophosphorous insecticides will reach 91,000 tonnes in 2012, with a 3.24% year-on-year growth. However, the demand for both carbamate insecticides and pyrethroid insecticides will decrease by 17.44% and 11.87% year on year to about 5,800 tonnes and 3,700 tonnes respectively.

The demand for other kinds of insecticides will come to 23,600 tonnes with a 1.38% year-on-year growth. Also, the demand for acaricide will also increase by 9.08% year on year to about 10,600 tonnes. In addition, wheat seed treatment agents would obtain more market share in the next three to five years, whose sales and application are quite prosperous during the autumn sowing this year.

Market of Rice Insecticides to Keep On Increasing

As one of key rice planting countries, China’s rice planting area exceeds 29.63 million hectares, accounting for about 18.9% of the total rice planting area in the world and 18.68% of China's total crop planting area. The domestic consumption of rice insecticides on rice accounts for about 10% of the total pesticide consumption in China.

In recent years, many MNCs have attached great importance to the promotion of rice insecticides in China, which intensified the market competition of rice insecticides in China. It is certain that the market size of rice insecticides will keep on increasing and the market competition will become fiercer in the following years, signifying more opportunities and challenges in the rice insecticides market in China.

Currently, the share of chlorpyrifos is the largest by volume and the share of abamectin is the largest by value in China’s rice insecticide market.

The rice insecticide market will mainly follow the trend of low toxicity, practical effectiveness and environmental friendliness, influenced by the occurrence and resistance of rice insects, as well as the development of crops.

It is predicted that the market share of pymetrozine and imidacloprid will enlarge, and acephate will lose some market share, and the share of other major rice insecticides will be relatively stable.

More details about the future development of China’s rice insecticides market will be presented in CCM International’s new report of Survey of Rice Insecticides in China. The report gives you a comprehensive understanding of China’s rice insecticides market from aspects of supply, demand, major products, MNCs’ dynamic, future development, etc. If you need more information about this report, please feel free to contact us at econtact@cnchemicals.com.

China's Insecticide Demand to Reach 124,100 Tonnes in 2012

According to National Agricultural Technology Extension and Service Center (NATESC), China's insecticide demand is predicted to reach 124,100 tonnes in 2012. The total national demand for pesticides will hit 313,600 tonnes (984,000 tonnes for formulations), posting a 2.48% year-on-year growth in 2012. These statistics are analyzed based on the information collected from local crop protection stations of 31 key planting provinces/municipalities, according to CCM International’s December issue of Insecticides China News.

         

Director Guo Yongwang from NATESC said, pesticide sales in 2011 is slack. Insecticides see a decreased demand in 2011 over last year attributed to light occurrence of insect pests, especially pymetrozine, buprofeizin, abamectin and emamectin benzoate with an obvious reduction. The demand for fungicides almost equals that in 2010. Herbicides witness a small rise in demand, among which paraquat and glyphosate enjoy large demand.

         

The structure of China's pesticide demand tends to be more reasonable. It is worth noting that the demand for insecticides will be the largest among the three pesticide categories in China in 2012, hitting about 124,100 tonnes, up 1.21% year on year and accounting for 40.44% of the total demand for pesticides.

Meantime, herbicides' and fungicides' demand will reach about 97,300 tonnes and 78,100 tonnes respectively nationwide in 2012. The demand for fungicides will present a 7.26% year-on-year growth, while that for herbicides will approach the amount this year.

Specifically, in 2012 the demand for organophosphorous insecticides will reach 91,000 tonnes with a 3.24% year-on-year growth. However, the demand for both carbamate insecticides and pyrethroid insecticides will decrease by 17.44% and 11.87% year on year to about 5,800 tonnes and 3,700 tonnes respectively.

The demand for other kinds of insecticides will come to 23,600 tonnes with a 1.38% year-on-year growth. Also, the demand for acaricides will also climb by 9.08% year on year to about 10,600 tonnes. In addition, wheat seed treatment agents would obtain more market share in the next three to five years, whose sales and application are quite prosperous during the autumn sowing this year.

        

Strong governmental promotion of professional unified control and the establishment of organizations providing this kind of service have boosted farmers' willingness to purchase crop protection equipment. Therefore, it's predicted that the demand for new-type machines like electric sprayer will be brisk, especially motor-boom sprayer and stretcher-mounted sprayer.

What is the Future Consumption of Major Rice Insecticide Products?

CCM International has released November Issue of Insecticides China News recently, revealing the future consumption of major rice insecticide products.

As one of the most important pesticide in China, rice insecticide attracts much attention. Rice insecticide products can be divided into three categories based on the development trend of future consumption. The first category will enjoy consumption rise in the future; the second one will see stable development and the third one will face drop.

Chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide are the hottest rice insecticide products. DuPont's 200g/l chlorantraniliprole SC has become one of the most important pesticides to combat rice leaf roller in China since 2008. Syngenta's 20% thiamethoxam • 20% chlorantraniliprole WDG, Bayer CropScience's 3.3% abamectin • 6.7% flubendiamide SC are also widely used in China. Thanks to good control effect, these products are expected to have a growing consumption in the future.

The consumption of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam (both for seed treatment) is expected to increase in the future because of the good control effect against rice black streaked dwarf disease.

As of the second category, the consumption of chlorpyrifos, abamectin, buprofezin, dichlorvos, triazophos, nitenpyram, acetamiprid, acephate and phoxim is expected to keep stable in the near future, because most Chinese pesticide companies are producing and marketing the formulations of these products.

The consumption of some old and highly toxic products such as isocarbophos, phorate and bisultap will decrease in the future. With the increase in public awareness and demand for safe foods, the application of highly toxic products will surely face tough restriction from the government.

The above is extracted from Insecticides China News 1111. More Headline News please check:

-The consumption of insecticides such as chlorantraniliprole, flubendiamide on China's rice insecticide market will continue to increase in the future, while that for some old products is expected to keep stable or decrease.

-Anhui Huaxing posts a net profit loss of about USD2.56 million (RMB16.24 million) in Q3 2011.

-Jiangsu Jialong finishes expanding its carbofuran technical capacity from 3,000t/a to 10,000t/a in around Sept.2011.

-Jiangsu Kwin obtains the approval on patent of its new insecticidal compound in Oct. 2011.

-Counterfeit spirodiclofen takes up most of the citrus acaricide market in China this year.

-Seed dressing agent market in China faces both chances and challenges.

-On 21 Sept. 2011, Jiangsu Jialong obtains the formal registration of 98% isoprocarb technical.

-The number of Bayer CropScience's pesticide registrations reduces in 2011.

-The market price of 95% lambdacyhalothrin technical in China has been growing since Sept. 2011.

-Acephate is facing slow development in China due to gloomy market demand and low profit of producers.

Consumption Forecast for Major Rice Insecticide Products

AgroChemEx was held at Shanghai Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center on 20-22 Oct. 2011. CCM International visited the exhibition to survey 2011 pesticide market. As the most important segment in China's pesticide industry, rice insecticide market still attracts much attention, though it underperforms this year due to the minor occurrence of pests, according to CCM’s November issue of Insecticides China News.

Insiders divided the rice insecticide products into three categories based on the development trend of future consumption. The first category will enjoy consumption rise in the future, the second one will see stable consumption and the third one will face drop.

Chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide are the hottest products. After being introduced to China in 2008, DuPont's 200g/l chlorantraniliprole SC has become one of the most important pesticides to combat rice leaf roller in China. Besides, Syngenta's 20% thiamethoxam • 20% chlorantraniliprole WDG, Bayer CropScience's 3.3% abamectin • 6.7% flubendiamide SC are also widely applied by Chinese farmers. Thanks to good control effect, these products are expected to enjoy an increasing consumption in the future.

However, there are still some risks for these products. At present, some Chinese companies are illegally producing and marketing these products, which may impact the business of overseas companies.

Owing to the outbreak of rice black streaked dwarf disease, the consumption of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam (both for seed treatment) is expected to increase in the future. At present, some peasants adopt imidacloprid or thiamethoxam to treat rice seeds to prevent white-backed planthopper spreading rice black streaked dwarf virus, and achieve good control results.

The consumption of some excellent insecticides such as thiacloprid, pymetrozine, indoxacarb and spinosad are also expected to increase.

Cyantraniliprole and dinotefuran, having not been registered in China yet, already attract much attention. Insiders revealed that these two insecticides are expected to be registered in the near future and will grab big pesticide market share. The former is for the control of rice leaf roller and the latter for controlling rice planthopper.

The consumption of chlorpyrifos, abamectin, buprofezin, dichlorvos, triazophos, nitenpyram, acetamiprid, acephate and phoxim is expected to keep stable in the near future. At present, most of Chinese pesticide companies are producing and marketing the formulations of these products; the competition will be quite stiff.

The consumption of some old and highly toxic products such as isocarbophos, phorate and bisultap will decrease in the future. With the increase in public awareness and demand for safe foods, the application of highly toxic products will surely face tougher restriction from the government.

Insiders also said that the development of rice pests' resistance will have huge impact on the rice insecticide market. At present, pests' resistance to abamectin develops very quickly, which casts a cloud over the future of this product.
