GB/T 17980.1-2000

This standard provides the specific protocols and evaluation criteria for conducting field efficacy trials of insecticides targeting lepidopteran borer pests, such as the rice stem borer, in rice crops. It is applied by agricultural researchers, pesticide manufacturers, and regulatory agencies in China to ensure consistent, scientifically valid testing of pesticide performance under real field conditions. The guidelines cover trial design, application methods, data collection, and efficacy assessment to support pesticide registration and safe, effective use in rice production.
