六十年防治病虫保驾护航新时代追求卓越再创辉煌

Plant protection has escorted Chinese food security over the last 60 years and will further pursue excellence in the new era

植物保护是保障粮食安全、生态安全与社会安全的关键。中国是一个农业古国与农业大国,其原始农业有着近万年的悠久历史;中国的植物保护有着古代的辉煌、近代的衰落与现代的崛起。新中国成立以来,特别是改革开放以来,中国的植物保护事业取得了辉煌成就,建立健全了高效的植物保护教学、科研与推广体系,消灭了千年的蝗灾,成功地控制了黏虫Mythimna seperata、棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera、水稻螟虫、小麦黑穗病和条锈病等重大农作物病虫害的暴发,保障了我国的粮食安全与农业安全;并在农作物重大病虫害的智能监测、成灾机理及可持续控制原理与防控技术集成等方面取得了一批国际先进水平的成果。2022年是《植物保护学报》创刊60周年,为回顾过去、展望未来而筹划了本辑,由中外147位作者从不同方向综述了植物保护主要领域的研究进展与展望。希望本辑的出版能够促进我国植物保护知识的传播、推动我国植物保护学科的发展,为我国农业可持续发展和实现乡村振兴做出更大的贡献。

Plant protection is key to ensuring food security,ecological security and social security.China is a large agricultural country with a long history of crop production,whose primitive agriculture has a history of about ten thousand years.The history of Chinese plant protection science can be divided into three stages:the glorious ancient times,the declined modern age,and the rising contemporary era.Since the founding of New China in 1949,especially after the reform and opening-up in 1980’s,China has made brilliant achievements in plant protection.The system for efficient teaching,scientific research and extention systems of plant protection has been established and improved.The millennia-long plague of locusts was wiped out,and the outbreak of important pests and diseases in the field was successfully controlled,such as the oriental armyworm Mythimna seperata,the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera,some rice borers,the wheat smut,and the wheat stripe rust,etc.These works effectively safeguarded the food security and agricultural safety of China.A number of internationally advanced accomplishments in the research of major insect pests and crop diseases have been achieved,including intelligent monitoring,disaster-causing mechanisms,principles of sustainable control,and integration of prevention and control technologies.The year 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the Journal of Plant Protection,and this series is organized to review the achievements of main aspects of plant protection in the past six decades and to look into the future of plant protection.One hundred and forty seven Chinese and foreign authors contributed to this special issue,and they summarized the research progresses and prospects in the main fields of plant protection from different directions.We hope that the publication of this issue can promote the dissemination of plant protection knowledge,boost the development of the related disciplines,and make greater contributions to the sustainable development of agriculture and the revitalization of rural areas in China.
