Current status and challenges of pesticide management in China
According to the revised Regulation of Pesticide Administration approved in February 2017 by the State Council, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) is in charge of the pesticide management in China. The MARA has established a more stringent threshold for pesticide registration, in which risk assessment is a necessary process of evaluation, and the temporary registration has been abolished since June 2017.
