“The research and development of new fertilizers should aim at the high point of agricultural science and technology, and take an efficient, safe and ecological development path. Reprocess traditional fertilizers to improve nutrition functions or make them have new characteristics. Develop new fertilizer varieties and strengthen fertilizer application guidance. Recently, the China New Fertilizer Market Summit was held in Beijing. Yin Chengjie, president of the China Agricultural Economics Association, pointed out that at present, China’s agriculture is at an inflection point in history, and the production of agricultural products shifts from pursuing production to improving quality. It is both safe and ecological, which indicates that plants A new era of full nutrition has arrived.
The data provided by researcher Zhao Bingqiang, secretary-general of the Chemical Fertilizer Value-Added Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, showed that the new fertilizer industry developed rapidly during the 10 years from the 11th to the 12th. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 2,000 new types of fertilizer production enterprises in the country, accounting for 25% of the total number of fertilizer production enterprises.
Gao Xiangzhao, chief expert of the National Agricultural Technology Center, believes that the development of new fertilizers is an effective means to increase yield, ensure food security, and improve the quality of agricultural products. The development of new types of fertilizers can increase the resistance of crops, improve the quality of crops, and provide conditions for the construction of agricultural ecosystems.
The survey data shows that the arable land in China is seriously degraded, and 70% of the 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land is low-yield farmland. Ma Changbao, director of the Center for Monitoring and Protecting Cultivated Land Quality of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, said that the decline in soil quality has caused problems such as the unreasonable use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural inputs, as well as industrial pollution. “To protect cultivated land and fertility, we must not only do a good job in arable land quality supervision, but also use appropriate technologies and products to cultivate fertility.”
Zhang Xiaoyu, secretary-general of the National New Fertilizers Cooperation Group, said that the role of chemical fertilizers in increasing production was 30% to 40%, but the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers in China was low. The development and production of new fertilizers suitable for various soils and crops are the arduous tasks of the transformation and upgrading of the fertilizer industry.
