Suggestions for pesticide bottle manufacturers and pesticide bottle designers

Improper use of pesticides, great harm. To prevent the harm of pesticides and use pesticides correctly, the design and use instructions of pesticide bottles play a key role. The packaging and use instructions for pesticides should strictly comply with the national standards. The content of the labeling should be simple, accurate, and scientific, so that the user can understand and master the correct use of the product. In the process of serving the countryside, the author found that the most direct requirements of farmers' friends on pesticide bottles are the following nine aspects. Only by understanding these aspects can we design packages that meet the needs of the market.

1. Liquid dosage form pesticide bottle "plastic generation glass"
About two-thirds of currently used pesticides are liquid formulations. For a long time, liquid pesticides have been packaged in glass bottles. However, glass bottles have the disadvantages of high breakage rate, poor sealing of glass bottles, and inconvenient metering. Plastic containers have the advantages of light weight, durability, accurate measurement, and low overall packaging cost. Therefore, “plastic generation of glass” has become an irreversible trend in the development of pesticide bottles. Plastic bag packaging pesticides are widely used in Europe, America, Japan and other countries. When used, they only need to put the required dose of drug package into the quantitative water, users do not need to directly contact pesticides, to avoid the occurrence of poisoning, on the other hand, measurement Accurate to avoid excessive or insufficient pesticide use.

2. Diluted Concentration It is easy to understand that the diluted concentration of pesticides is generally marked on the label by how many times the dilution (eg 500 times, 200 times, etc.). In recent years, young people in rural areas have gone to cities to work. Most of them are engaged in agricultural production at home. Women and elderly people with low education levels are difficult to understand and calculate. Therefore, the farmers' friends hope that on the basis of the labeling of the dilution dilution, the filling column will directly indicate how many doses per mu or per standard spraying equipment (such as a 15 kg sprayer) will be easy for the user to understand.

3. There are no scales on the packaging bottles for scales or measuring devices for pesticides. Farmers often rely on their eyesight and experience to determine the amount of pesticides. Excessive amounts cause phytotoxicity, while small amounts do not achieve optimal control effects. In this regard, farmers hope that pesticide manufacturers can print on the packaging bottles to show the weight or volume scale. Of course, if pesticides are used in pesticide bottles (bags), one bottle (bag) will be welcomed by farmers' friends.


4. Poisoning First Aid Methods Farmers' friends must absolutely avoid pesticide poisoning during the storage and use of pesticides. There are certain difficulties. Once pesticide poisoning occurs, it must be rescued on site. Nowadays, there are more and more varieties of pesticides, because different types of pesticide poisoning have different first-aid methods. Once pesticide poisoning occurs, farmers' friends, including some rural doctors, are often at a loss. Therefore, farmers' friends hope to introduce the first-aid methods after pesticide poisoning on the packaging.

5, small-dose packaging farmer to buy pesticides once used, stored in the home, if not properly stored, livestock and poultry will even accidentally poisoned accident occurred. In addition, a large number of villagers in rural areas in China commit suicide by stealing pesticides because of conflict among family members. Therefore, farmers' friends hope that the pesticide manufacturers can better produce more pesticides in small doses and buy them now. For example, more production of small doses of needle pesticides.

6. The hazards of banned species of pesticide residues have increasingly attracted public attention. Today, the market access requirements for agricultural products, especially vegetables and fruits, are getting higher and higher. The farmers hope that the manufacturers mark the applicable crop types and banned crop types on the pesticide bottle bags so that the produced agricultural products can meet pollution-free standards.

7. Acidity and Alkalinity of Pesticides Many pesticide bottles are not marked as acidic, alkaline or neutral, but are marked with warnings that the pesticide cannot be mixed with alkaline or acidic pesticides. Cause farmers' friends simply do not know which pesticides can be mixed and which can not be mixed. Therefore, it is desirable to indicate the acidity and alkalinity of the pesticide on the pesticide bottle, so that the user can know whether it can be mixed and used, and avoid mixing of non-mixable pesticides, resulting in reduced efficacy or phytotoxicity.

8, for the use of vegetables, fruits of the interval between the use of time Because the pesticide bottle does not describe the time used to kill vegetables, fruit pests when the time, vegetable farmers, fruit farmers in the use of pesticides to prevent pests, often do not pay attention to the use of vegetables before the market Intervals cause a large amount of pesticide residues on vegetables and endanger consumer safety. Therefore, farmers' friends hope that pesticide bottles must be banned from use for a few days before they are listed on vegetables and fruits.

9. Anti-counterfeiting marks In recent years, fake pesticide pits have caused agricultural accidents, and farmers' friends have been afraid of fake pesticide pits. Therefore, farmers' friends hope that pesticide companies can apply high-tech anti-counterfeiting technology to various pesticide bottles to facilitate the identification of authenticity. At the same time, they hope that the industrial and commercial departments can focus on the management of fake counterfeit signs so that the anti-counterfeiting labels can truly play a counterfeit role. What is more important is to further strengthen the management of the pesticide market and avoid the entry of fake pesticides into the agricultural capital circulation market.
