Abstract:

There is currently an unmet need to improve disease prevention and control in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Here, we reviewed the literature as well as visited and surveyed multiple planting sitesand agricultural management units in Shandong’s main production areas, such as Jinan and Linyi,to investigate and summarize the common diseases, incidence patterns, medication types, and pesticide residue status of S.miltiorrhiza, which may also provide foundational data to aid in S. miltiorrhiza production.The findings showed 10 common diseases in S.miltiorrhiza, and a total of 20 categories and 43 types of pesticides, including biopesticides and compound formulations, were used in its management. The varieties of pesticides used were all in compliance with drug use regulations, but issues, such as the lack of pesticide registration,lack of guidance on prevention and control technology, and insufficient promotion of biological control, were found. This article aims to provide a basis for the scientific prevention and control of S. miltiorrhiza diseases, and to promote the green and sustainable development of the S. miltiorrhiza industry.

Key words: Salvia miltiorrhiza, disease, pesticide residues, comprehensive prevention and control
