In recent years, with the continuous development of the social economy, the rapid progress made in melon and fruit agriculture has greatly promoted the development of agriculture. However, there are still significant drawbacks in the use of pesticides and the treatment of pesticide residues in agricultural products such as melons and fruits. The impact of pesticide residues on food safety cannot be ignored.

The relationship between pesticide residues and food safety

The use of pesticides in agriculture is quite extensive, and they play an important role in the prevention and control of pests and diseases such as pests and weeds that harm agriculture. Pesticide residues refer to the trace amounts of pesticides and toxic metabolites left on crops after pesticide spraying. Generally, pesticides are not composed of a single substance, but of several mixtures and their formulations, making pesticide residues extremely harmful. The basic material security of a country includes sufficient food supply and overall food safety. Food safety is increasingly receiving attention from people. Whether food is safe and hygienic, and whether it is harmful to human health, has become a topic of great importance in the current food industry and agriculture. Pesticide residues and food safety issues have also become one of the urgent livelihood issues that need to be addressed in today's society. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's awareness of health and food safety is gradually increasing, and their requirements for food nutrition, safety, and health are also constantly improving. This requires relevant departments to use advanced technological means to reasonably deal with pesticide residues and ensure food safety.

Basic measures for controlling pesticide residues:

1. Integrate administrative resources and establish a sound regulatory system for agricultural product quality and safety

In the entire agricultural industry, pesticide regulation of agricultural products is a very complex and massive project, involving various links such as production, picking, harvesting, storage, transportation, and sales in agriculture. Corresponding work must be done for each link to ensure the basic guarantee of food safety. Negligence is not allowed, otherwise it will pose a great threat to food safety. Based on this, relevant food quality supervision departments should gradually improve and perfect the production supervision system, while strengthening reasonable communication and cooperation among various regulatory departments, prohibiting all kinds of banned drugs and counterfeit products from entering the market and flowing into the agricultural production field. In the process of establishing a safety management system, it is necessary to combine the basic agricultural conditions of China, efficiently improve and establish the product quality and safety management system of agriculture, improve the existing basic system, and avoid the phenomenon of vacuum.

2. Promote standardized production mechanisms to reduce pesticide residues in agricultural products

The standardization of agriculture is crucial for the basic development of the entire agriculture industry. Relevant departments should establish a sound supervision and testing system for agricultural standardization and a monitoring system for pesticides. One of the purposes is to strictly control the use of pesticides and ensure that farmers use them correctly and reasonably. In terms of pesticide use, standardization should be established in production, and reasonable regulations should be made on the dosage, frequency, and time of pesticide use. At the same time, a reasonable basic medication procedure should be formulated to promote efficient and low toxicity pesticides based on actual pesticide applications, control the use of high toxicity and high residue pesticides, comprehensively consider the impact of pesticides on the agricultural environment, and thus improve the utilization rate of pesticides, and better guide agricultural practitioners in the use of pesticides. By establishing standardized mechanisms for pesticide use, pesticide residues can be reduced.

3. Strengthen scientific research and accelerate the development of new pesticides, and make reasonable adjustments to the pesticide industry

China is a major agricultural country, and as an important basic industry, the trend of intensive and large-scale development of agricultural production has certain particularities. The process of agricultural production also has great particularities, and the use of pesticides is still quite common throughout the entire agricultural production process. In the process of pesticide use in agricultural products such as fruits and melons, the use of insecticides is relatively widespread. It is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the existing agricultural environment and develop more extensive and efficient new pesticide substitutes and high residue pesticides in a shorter period of time, so that highly toxic and high residue pesticides no longer appear in China's agricultural production. The state should increase investment in scientific research, strengthen the research and development capabilities on the basis of existing scientific research, and provide more powerful technical reserves and related technical support for the overall quality of agricultural products at the source.

4. Establish a market level testing system and form a large-scale and routine testing mode

The food safety issues caused by the large amount of pesticide residues have attracted high attention. In international trade, relevant international standards for food safety are constantly improving, with more and more testing items, more and more advanced testing methods, and increasingly strict testing technical indicators. The relevant quality supervision departments should set up testing instruments and provide testing methods in medium and large supermarkets and agricultural markets, and conduct testing on the main quality parameters of pesticide residues at any time. Sampling can be carried out by dedicated testing personnel in the market or the general public. The country should invest a certain amount of funds in researching rapid testing methods to provide the market with quick confirmation of quality. In this way, it is difficult for unqualified products to be launched on the market, and they dare not be launched to prevent the launch of unqualified products.
