Du Wei, General Manager of Beijing Multigrass Formulation

         
Since its establishment, Beijing Multigrass has focused on the research, development, registration and sale of biological products, covering two types of biological products, which are plant-sourced products and biological fermentation-based products. Its plant-sourced products include matrine, rotenone, fungous proteoglycan and seaweed extract fertilizers while its biological fermentation-based products are spinosad, gibberellic acid and kasugamycin. The company currently has two production bases, which are Miyun in Beijing and Xinxiang in Henan. 

Du Wei said that the company was initially engaged in export trade, as matrine was well-known in the international market and was widely recognized by the government, channel merchants, retailers and farmers from various countries. With developments to the domestic market, the company began to focus on research and development in the application technology of biopesticides, as well as on developing effective and long-lasting products for mixtures, to further expand its product portfolio and improve crop quality and safety. The company’s focus on biopesticides is expected to reap rewards in the near future, he added.

Zhang Tao said that in the future, the company will establish and provide packaged solutions according to the needs of crop plantations. The product brands offered by the company include Baimai, Baia, Jinghu and Baisha, which will be released by 2022. The company is also prepared to shape its kasugamycin, gibberellic acid and oligo saccharin product folio, which will make the company a biological pesticide industry leader.
