According to the Ministry of Science, Education and Deputy Director of Agriculture , agro-ecological and Resources Protection Station Master Wang Yanliang introduction, although methyl bromide soil fumigation internationally recognized as the best agent , but the destruction of the ozone layer which has a role to fulfill . ” Deplete Montreal Protocol on ozone-depleting substances “by the Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund and the Government of Italy, co-funded by UNIDO as an international executive body , the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly organized and implemented the agricultural methyl bromide phase-out projects aimed at ensuring agricultural development and on the basis of farmers’ income , and reliable alternative medicines and comprehensive technical measures seek methyl bromide phase-out of methyl bromide which eventually destroy the ozone layer of soil fumigation products in agricultural production , the Chinese Government to achieve compliance goals.

Wang Yanliang said it will continue to improve the system , standardize methyl bromide phase , soil disinfection processes related technologies ; overall national expert resources to strengthen joint research and multidisciplinary cooperation , promote the establishment of an alternative technology innovation system ; strengthen international exchanges and cooperation , the introduction of advanced national Technology in soil fumigation and spraying disinfectants applied research and development and other aspects of the machinery ; actively cultivate the plant protection service cooperatives and enterprises , and promote alternatives to methyl bromide soil fumigation markets and social services ; increase science advocacy efforts to improve the environmental awareness of the peasant masses jointly promote alternatives to methyl bromide work in depth .
