This paper summarized and analyzed the basic situation and characteristics of pesticide registration in China in 2023 and recent years.In the past 11 years,the ratio of the registered number of slightly/low-toxic pesticides to that of the total registered pesticides each year has been increasing continuously,as well as the ratio of the new registered number of slightly/low-toxic pesticides to that of the annual new registered pesticides,with the annual average rate of 83.3%and 94.3%,respectively.Recently,the growth of slightly toxic products has been faster than that of low toxic products.The number of environment friendly formulations has been increased rapidly,and the ratio of the number of registered SC products to that of annual new registered products each year has been kept in lead.A significant growing tendency can be found on OD formulation,while the ratio of EC and WP products has been decreased year by year.The ratio of the annual new registered number of insecticides,fungicides and herbicides to that of annual new registered products is in a competitive situation.The number of registered new biopesticides has grown rapidly,with the annual average growth rate of active ingredients and products was found to be 7.07%and 7.55%respectively during the past 9 years.The standards for minor crops are increasing.Pesticide residue standards are being improved.
