3. The average quality of pesticides for corn and rice is higher than that of pesticides for other crops included. The respective qualified rate of pesticides for corn, rice and fruit trees are 95.6%, 95.1% and 94.3%.
4. The qualified rates for bio-pesticides and smoke generator pesticides are comparatively low. Among 18 bio-pesticides inspected, there are 14 unqualified and the main reason is that carbofuran, a highly toxic pesticide or highly effective chemical pesticides like chlorantraniliprole and cyhalothrin was contained. Among 27 smoke generators, 12 are unqualified due to the addition of highly toxic pesticides such as carbofuran and endosulfan.
