China's microbial fertilizer ushered in the first opportunity for development with an annual output value of 15 billion yuan.

In recent years, excessive use of chemical fertilizer has led to soil acidification, decrease of soil organic matter content, destruction of soil physical structure, imbalance of soil functional microflora structure, and sharp decline of soil productivity. Microbial fertilizer has been widely concerned for its five functions of increasing yield, improving quality, enhancing crop stress resistance, improving chemical fertilizer utilization efficiency and improving soil nutrient environment, and has become a new direction of fertilizer development in the future. " This is the message from the first China Bio-bacterial Fertilizer Innovation and Application Summit Forum held in Baoding, Hebei Province on July 26.

Li Jun, director of the microbial Fertilizer and Edible Fungi quality Inspection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the use of chemical fertilizers has contributed to the protection of national food security, but it has also brought about environmental pollution, ecological imbalance, soil acidification and the decline of biological fertility. problems such as the quality and safety of agricultural products. It is of great practical significance to improve the soil ecological environment, improve the utilization rate of chemical fertilizer and reduce the use of chemical fertilizer through microbial fertilizer. In the future, organic materials mature bacteria, soil remediation bacteria, rhizobium agents and phosphorus-solubilizing agents, functional bacteria agents for fruit trees, tobacco and other cash crops, bio-organic fertilizers, drought-resistant bacteria agents and other products will become the focus of research and promotion.

It is understood that at present, microbial fertilizers in China are mainly agricultural microbial agents, bio-organic fertilizers and compound microbial fertilizers. There are about 950 microbial fertilizer enterprises in China, with an annual output of 10 million tons and an annual output value of 15 billion yuan. As of June this year, the Ministry of Agriculture has registered 2015 products, with an annual cumulative application area of more than 100 million mu.

Xu Jie, dean of the School of Resources and Environment at Hebei Agricultural University, believes that the significance of cooperation between schools and enterprises in the development of microbial fertilizers lies in constantly expanding the functions of scientific and technological development and technological popularization, and gradually expanding from industry-university cooperation to industry-university-research cooperation. " The implementation of the combination of production and education can serve local economic construction, maintain close ties with enterprises, and transform technology into real productive forces. "

As the organizer of the meeting, Zhang Honggang, chairman of Hebei Mindefu Group Company, told reporters that at present, there are more than 7000 fertilizer enterprises in China. In the fertiliser industry with fierce competition, it is difficult to develop smoothly without sustained innovation. Mindefu Company has been engaged in the research and development of biological bacteria concentration technology, conventional fertilizer bacteria addition technology, fertilizer coating technology and field crop primary fertilization technology, and applies the new technology to practice every year. Many years of experiments and demonstrations show that microbial fertilizer can improve soil structure, improve fertilizer use efficiency, enhance crop resistance, increase crop yield and improve the quality of agricultural products, which is generally welcomed by farmers and is the direction of the development of new fertilizers in the future.

Experts from the microbial Fertilizer quality Inspection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, Hebei Agricultural University, Hebei Northern Mountain Research Institute, Zhongnong holding Company, Hebei Mindefu Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Japan enzyme World Society and more than 300 dealers from all over the country attended the meeting.
