China’s agriculture includes four industries, namely crop farming, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery. Of these, crop farming plays an important role, and it is the basis of the whole agriculture. In China, the total output value and compound annual growth rate of crop farming accounts for over 50% of that of agriculture respectively. In 2004-2013, the compound annual growth rate of China’s agriculture reached 27.71%.
The control and prevent of pests and diseases as well as the application of fertilizers mostly affect the development of crop farming. And a large amount of laboratory studies and actual application studies are the foundations for pests and diseases control and prevention and fertilizer application. Therefore, the results made from above studies will be again applied in crops production, and further the development of crop farming. As a result, Crop Farming China E-News will publish scientific research and academic dynamics related to pests & diseases control and prevention or fertilizer application.
