Abstract:

To investigate whether pesticide residues would limit the amount of manure returned to fields and the quantity of livestock and poultry farming, this study took paddy fields in Zhejiang Province as the research object in crop planting, broiler and laying hens farming as the research objects in animal husbandry, and imidacloprid as the pesticide type for study. According to the flow characteristics of imidacloprid between crop planting and animal husbandry, this study constructed a paddy field carrying capacity model of chicken manure based on the ecological risk value of imidacloprid by using material flow analysis, risk quotient method and soil environmental impact prediction. Considering the variability of parameters such as soil physicochemical parameters, pesticide residues in soil and chicken manure, and chicken manure excretion, the Monte Carlo analysis method was used to estimate the appropriate variation range of broiler or laying hens farming scale. Our results showed that the short-term, medium-term and long-term carrying capacity of broiler breeding per hectare in Zhejiang Province were 38 064-62 793, 5 336-15 759 and 0-1 492 birds, respectively, and those of laying hens breeding were 4 996-9 188, 715-2 245 and 0-205 birds, respectively. If imidacloprid residues in broiler manure and soil decreases by 25%, the carrying capacity of broiler farming per hectare will increase by 33.3% and 8.4%, respectively. Considering the development needs of livestock and poultry farming and the protection of farmland soil environment, it is recommended to actively promote pesticide reduction and efficiency enhancement technologies to reduce imidacloprid residues in soil. Meanwhile, pesticide residues in manure should be monitored to promote the green development of crop planting and animal husbandry in Zhejiang Province.
