1 INTRODUCTION

1.1  Necessity of Project

Up till the present moment, the use of the pesticides in shanghai has some questions to be improved in comparison with the other areas of our country. First of all, the use amount of the pesticides in rural area of Shanghai is relative larger than the other regions of our country, not only the total amount but also amount used every unit area. The second, the pesticide varieties and structure are not reasonable and the pesticide uses excessively, it could make the natural pest enemies to be in peril of extinction. The natural control action is much weakened. The third, the agricultural labor organizations are decentralized as a result of management difficulty. The fourth, application technique of the pesticides and spray equipments are outmoded in some respects, it could make the agricultural chemicals use efficiency to be low, also causes the non-point source pollution on atmosphere, water body, the soil and so on. In addition, the technical guidance to the peasants also has some questions to be improved. So it is necessary for carrying out the project of integrated agricultural pollution reduction techniques description.

1.2 Objects of Project

There are two specific objects for the project. The first specific object will set up three core demonstrating base of agriculture production with 8730 mu, forming fine ecological cycle of agriculture production. To the pest management plan (PMP) involved, there are some respects as follows:

(1) Pesticides amount used every unit area will be 10% less than average level of other rural area of Shanghai;

(2) The popularizing ratio of green control techniques will reach to 100 %;

(3) The use ratio of the middle toxicity pesticides will be down from 58% to below 40%;

(4) The use ratio of the green pesticides will be up above 90%;

(5) The varieties of pesticides structure will be more optimization.

The other project’s specific object will popularize the integrated agricultural non point source pollution reduction techniques in Shanghai suburbs by application of local experience to the entire area. To the PMP involved, there are some respects as follows: The availability of the pesticides and the level of the green control techniques will be improve, for reducing pesticides flowing away to polluting environment.

Carries on the technical implementation and the demonstration in the core demonstration base, Fans out from point to area, to core model district periphery radiation, enhances the efficiency of utilization on fertilizer and agricultural chemicals in suburbs, improve green pest control techniques levels, reduce environment pollution by the chemical fertilizers, pesticides and agricultural organic waste outflow.

1.3 Bases of Project Operation

1.3.1 Foundation of base selection

(1) The bases should be situated at the water source protection zone of the upper reaches of the Huangpu River, the Chongming ecology island and the Tai Lake basin scope. These regions are the important agricultural production regions related to environment and resources protection.

(2) In the demonstration region the crop production holds certain proportion, the crops type is relatively stable, the local government has certain safeguard to the agricultural investment.

The farmers in the regions have the good desire and the demand to the agricultural new technology promotion, and they would be expected to put the technology standard into practice.

1.3.2 Base name

According to the above reasons, the three core demonstrating bases of agriculture production will be set up. Among them, Chongming Changjiang farm is the modernized agriculture comprehensive experiment base, the high water quality in Qingpu link Tai Lake is requested, Jinshan District Modernized Agricultural Garden is located in Jinshan Langxia Town in which there is a large stock farm. The attention key point in the Garden is the combined agriculture and stock and the resources circulation use. Their names are as follows (The more detailed description shown in second chapter):

(1) Demonstration Base in Shanghai Jinshan District Modernized Agricultural Garden (SJDMAG);

(2) Demonstration Base in Qingpu Zhujiajiao Production Base (QZPB);

(3) Demonstration Base in Chongming Changjiang Farm (CCF).

1.4 Integrated Pest Management

In agriculture, the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control strategy.Implement of the strategy can be divided three stages closely together: prevention, observation, and intervention. An array of complementary methods may be used in three stages. These methods include agriculture, physical, biological, and chemical management. IPM is an ecological approach with a main goal of significantly reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides and mitigating environmental pollution from use chemicals. IPM was formulated into national policy in 1972.

The project would support integrated pest management (IPM), including:

(1) Keeping pests below economically damaging levels, managing pests rather than seeking to eradicate them;

(2) Relying, to the extent possible, on non chemical measures to keep pest populations low;

(3) When pesticides have to be used, selecting them that are less toxic, and applying them in a way that minimizes adverse effects on beneficial organisms, human beings, and the ecological environment. As a result, there is a need for preparation of a Pest Management Plan (PMP) for the project.

The Pest Management Plan (PMP) of the project will promote the use of biological and environmental control methods for pests and diseases, which will reduce the reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides.

2 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEMONSTRATION BASES

Three key demonstration Bases of agricultural production in Jinshan District, Qingpu District and Chongming County will be set up under IAPDTD. These bases are located at SJDMAG, QZPB and CCF respectively. The geographic location of key demonstration bases is shown at figure 2.1.
