The application area of formula fertilizer reached 360 million mu.

Since the beginning of this year, agricultural departments at all levels have carried out in-depth soil testing and formula fertilization projects, closely centering on the core of formula fertilizer promotion, and actively exploring new methods and new ways such as agricultural-enterprise cooperation, the construction of intelligent fertilizer distribution terminals, and mobile phone information services. we will vigorously guide enterprises, new agricultural operators and social service organizations to participate in the production, supply and service of formula fertilizer, thus promoting the popularization and application of formula fertilizer in a large area. According to statistics, in the first half of the year, the amount of formula fertilizer used for major grain crops in the country was 5.3 million tons (pure), and the application area was 360 million mu, an increase of 17.8% and 20% respectively over the same period last year.

Relying on large enterprises, docking advantageous producing areas, big cities and counties, to create a demonstration model for agricultural-enterprise cooperation to promote formula fertilizer. Since 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture has carried out cooperation between agriculture and enterprises to promote formula fertilizer for three consecutive years, adopting the approach of "100 enterprises and even 100 counties" and organizing more than 200 large and medium-sized fertilizer enterprises across the country to produce and supply formula fertilizer for 100 counties with soil testing and fertilizer application. This year, the planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture has selected 19 major counties and cities of grain and cash crops in 11 provinces (autonomous regions and cities), including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Henan. In cooperation with Sinochem Fertilizer Co., Ltd., we will carry out "the establishment of demonstration counties for agricultural-enterprise cooperation to promote formula fertilizer", jointly create a number of typical models of scientific fertilization, and explore the effective model of formula fertilizer entering villages and fields.

Rely on intelligent fertilizer distribution terminal to meet the needs of personalized fertilization and build a grass-roots formula fertilizer distribution service network. The intelligent fertilizer distribution terminal is a fertilizer supermarket and fertilizer "gas station" built in the field, which can better meet the requirements of quick and convenient fertilizer use in agricultural production. In 2013, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Administration of quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly issued the opinions on speeding up the Popularization of Formula Fertilizer, giving a series of support policies to intelligent fertilizer distribution terminals. it has created good conditions for the construction of fertilizer distribution network at the grass-roots level.

Relying on the information technology, the expert system of soil testing and formula fertilization was applied to create the information service platform for the promotion of formula fertilizer. Since the implementation of the soil testing formula fertilization project, each project county (field) has taken the fertilizer formula, fertilization guidance, and other soil testing formula fertilization information into the household as a key work, and adopted "formula card into the household, fertilization guidance on the wall" and other ways to let farmers know the reasonable amount and methods of fertilization. at present, more than 900 million fertilization suggestion cards have been issued. At the same time, various localities have earnestly strengthened the construction of expert systems for soil testing and fertilization, and adopted voice that farmers can understand, information that can be understood, and ways that can be collected through information technology such as network, mobile phone text messages, touch screen inquiries, and so on. guide farmers to select and use fertilizer.
