Pesticide, a two-sided tool, can be used to protect crops from diseases, insects, weeds, and also can poison people, animals and environment if used improperly. A sustained effort has been made for a long time in order to maximize the benefit pesticides and to minimize the harm that pesticides bring to people and environment. Many countries enacted laws and regulations to control pesticide strictly, and The Pesticide Management Regulation was promulgated in China in 1997.Recently, Chinese pesticides industries have been developing speedily with about 2,700 pesticide manufacturers and more than 600 varieties of products, and more than 19,000 formulated products have been registered in China with the annual output 860 thousand MT and sale value 40 billion RMB (3.6 billion USD), in which the value of exporting products amount to about 30% of 1.2 billion USD. Now China has become a big country of pesticide producing, using and exporting. However, highly and extremely toxic pesticides such as methamidophos account for about 35% of the total amount. The Pesticide Management Regulation declares clearly that it is forbidden to apply highly and extremely toxic pesticides on fruit trees, vegetables, tea and herb. But the poisoning accidents of people and animals caused by pesticide, the residue of pesticides in farm products exceeding the standard and the incidents of environment pollution happened occasionally, which threatens human health and sustainable development of agriculture seriously and tampers with the improvement of market competition ability of farm products and farm's income, because the legal system is not perfect in our country, the structure of pesticides is not reasonable, the rate of highly and extremely toxic pesticides is high and farmers often use pesticides in a wrong way, Even more, there are counterfeited and faked products in some places. Recent years Chinese government has paied much attention to the management of highly and extremely toxic pesticides, and set down some policies and carried out some measures to promote the sustainable development of agriculture and protect people, animals and environment from pesticide risk. Especially, Ministry of Agriculture established the Project on the Reduction of Five highly-toxic Phosphorous Pesticides in the end of 2003.The writer has participated in the work of constitution of related policies. In order to achieve the aim of phasing out highly and extremely toxic pesticides such as methamidophos on time, combining with his experience, the writer explored the possibility of reaching this target, and figured out 8 measures to ensure the accomplishment of the aim, which include: 1. Promulgate and carry out the related policies of forbid-used of highly toxic pesticides strictly and completely, 2. Improve market supervision and strengthen punishment of highly toxic pesticides, 3. Make further research on substitutes for highly toxic pesticides and supporting technology, 4.Pay much attention to the training and popularization of pesticide rational and safe use, 5. Make research on control policies of highly toxic pesticides export and intermediates production, 6. Allocate the special fund for substitutes exploring, popularization and application and products renovation, 7. Pesticide company participating and amending the development strategy actively, 8. Strengthen organization and leadership and fulfill the related polices objectives. The writer hopes that the ideas and suggestions put forward in this thesis could be a reference when the relative governments establish corresponding policies and laws.
