Thiamethoxam pesticide residues exceed the standard repeatedly: is it a planting habit or a vulnerability detection?

In recent years, thiamethoxam has been widely used as a neonicotinoid insecticide in agricultural production, but its residue exceeding the standard has been frequently reported, causing the public to continue to pay attention to the safety of agricultural products. Why has this problem been difficult to cure for a long time? Is it due to the habits of the planting end, or is there a shortcoming in the detection process?

From the planting end, some farmers may have irregular operations such as overdosing thiamethoxam and shortening the safety interval in order to pursue crop yield or quickly control pests and diseases. This planting concept of "emphasizing benefits over safety" is indeed an important incentive for the excess of pesticide residues. But blaming the problem only on bad planting habits seems to ignore the practical challenges facing the current detection system.

Traditional pesticide residue detection relies on professional laboratories, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the rapid response needs of grassroots supervision. At the same time, with the accelerated development of new pesticides, there may be an update lag in the residue detection standards and technologies of thiamethoxam, which makes it difficult for some testing institutions to accurately identify trace residues, and even "missed inspection" and "misjudgment", which also provides the possibility for pesticide residue products to enter the market.

In this context, efficient and convenient rapid detection technology has become a key part of solving the problem. Wuhan Yupinyan Bio focuses on the research and development and production of food safety rapid detection reagents. Its reagents have the advantages of simple operation, short detection cycle and high accuracy rate. They can help grass-roots inspectors and agricultural producers quickly screen for pesticide residue risks and provide real-time and reliable data support for regulatory authorities.

To solve the problem of pesticide residue exceeding the standard of thiamethoxam, it is necessary to strengthen the scientific training of growers, guide them to establish a standard medication awareness, and abandon the psychology of luck; it is also necessary to improve the popularity and accuracy of detection technology to form a double guarantee of "planting norms + rapid detection". Wuhan Yupinyan Bio is willing to rely on professional detection reagents to help build a strong food safety defense line, so that every agricultural product can withstand testing and inspection.
