The International Training
Course on Application of Bio-pesticide

Chemicals are major tools for pest control. So far, besides their magnificent contribution, chemicals have induced much negative influence, such as residue in environment, resistance and resurgence of insects. People had found many alternatives which show low toxicity to mammals and high performance against the target insects. Bio-pesticide is one of the representatives and has shown its brilliant future.

Bt is the most produced and applied bio-pesticide in the world. It has been successfully used for controlling more than twenty important economic pests. Jinggangmycin, a kind of agro-antibiotics, is mainly for control of rice diseases. Because of their low toxicity and high environmental compatibility, they have attracted a great deal of researchers and users during the past decades.

Wuhan East Lake Hi-tech Group Company has set up an advanced and largest lab and factory (Hi-tech Bio-products Research Institute and Wuhan Kernel Bio-pesticide Co,. Ltd.) in China to work on bio-pesticide. Our main research projects and products include Bt, Jianggangmycin, their premixes and formulations.

With the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, we wish to exchange and share our experience on production and application of bio-pesticide with people from developing countries. There have been four times bio-pesticide training courses organized successfully in China since 1994. We are sure this training course will be more fruitful than before. We also believe that what we have been done in China

since 1994. We aresure this training course will be more fruitful than before. We also believe that what we have been done in China today will be done in other developing countries tomorrow.
