Shanghai Pesticide Research Institute (SPRI), established in 1963, is the first professional pesticide institute in China. After being approved by the Science & Technology Committee of PRC, it became the base for Shanghai Branch of National Pesticide R&D South center. There are some organizations such as Shanghai Research Center of Biochemical Technology, Ministry of Chemical Industry affiliated, Shanghai Pesticide standard committee, Shanghai Pesticide Examination Center, Shanghai Pesticide Science and Technology information center set in it. The Institute is also engaged in editing and issuing of the professional journal <<World Pesticide>> (formal name is <<Translated Collection of Pesticide>>. In 2000, we were approved to do import and export trade.
At present, our institute has departments of chemical synthesis, bioengineering, bioactivity test, pesticide intermediate analysis and test, Science and Technology information, international trade. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
RESEARCH ON CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS Specialized in R&D on synthesis of new pesticides, improvement of production process of available pesticide intermediates and other fine chemicals, isoxathion and ethofenprox are under R&D. RESEARCH ON BIOENGINEERING Mainly engaged in R&D on agricultural antibiotics and biosynthesis, split, bioconversion of compounds with enzyme reaction. Production of Acrylamide by bio-fermentation has been industrialized. And several sets of production installment have been established in various areas. R&D OF FORMULATIONS The formulation of Micro Emulsions of Chlorpyrifos 30% is being researched and developed at present.

Since
the establishment, SPRI has developed more than 150 science research
achievements, 90 of them have been put into industrial production
(including over 20 intermediates). The main productions are tradimefon,
jianganmycin, liuyangmycin, Abamectin, Acrylamide made by bio-fermentation,
fenvalerate, Imidacloprid, Quinclorac, Brodifacoum, metribuzin,
nicotinamide, etc. 12 patent applications have been done in China
and overseas. We won 53 national, departmental, provincial or
municipal science and technology progress-making awards. We also
took charge and accomplished more than 10 national science and
technology tackle key items.
Mainly
engaged in research and development on chemical synthesis agricultural
antibiotics, bioactive screening of new compounds, the mechanism
of action, laboratory and fields test of new pesticides.
