Based on comprehensive statistics, a total of 43 new public health pesticides were registered in China in 2023. The primary focus of these registrations was on controlling pests such as mosquitoes, flies, fly larvae, and cockroaches, which are of significant concern in public health management. Among the registered formulations, suspension concentrates emerged as the predominant formulation type. Furthermore, the main method of application for these pesticides was through spraying. As the CIRS Group, we have diligently organized and analyzed the data pertaining to the newly registered public health pesticides in China during 2023. Our objective is to provide valuable insights and references for enterprises' future endeavors in the field of pesticide registration.

Based on comprehensive statistics, a total of 1,180 microbial fertilizers were registered in China in 2023. Among these registrations, a significant majority consisted of microbial inoculants.
