Watch out for fertilizer packaging and beware of the trap of bullying farmers

The national standard GB18382-2001 "contents and requirements of Fertilizer labeling" makes clear requirements for the specific contents and specifications of fertilizer packaging labels. Take compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer as an example, the contents of the packaging logo include: 1, fertilizer name and trademark, which should be marked with the fertilizer name already stipulated in national standards and industry standards. Such as × × brand compound fertilizer (compound fertilizer), organic fertilizer, if there is a trade name, it can be marked in small 1 font under the product name. The product name is not allowed to add words with false and exaggerated nature, such as "high efficiency × ×", "× × fertilizer king", "all-element × fertilizer" and so on. 2. The total nutrient content and the marked value of single nutrient content. This is the part that illegal manufacturers often tamper with, and it is especially necessary to attract the attention of farmers. The percentage content of total nutrients of N, P2O5 and K2O should be marked in compound fertilizer, the marked value of total nutrients should not be lower than the sum of the marked values of single nutrient in the combination formula, and other elements should not be included in the total nutrients. The percentage contents of total nitrogen, phosphorus pentoxide and potassium chloride are respectively marked with the combination formula, such as 25% of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers 10-5-10, binary fertilizers should be marked with "0" where there are no single nutrients, such as nitrogen-potassium compound fertilizers 15-0-10. Even if medium elements or trace elements are added, they shall not be marked on the packaging logo. In addition, if the product contains chlorine, it must be marked with the word chlorine. Organic fertilizer or organic-inorganic compound fertilizer should indicate the content of organic matter. According to the existing standards of organic fertilizer and organic-inorganic compound fertilizer, the content of organic matter in organic fertilizer and organic-inorganic compound fertilizer should be more than 30% and 20%. 3. Production license number (compound fertilizer), fertilizer registration certificate number and standard number of the product. At present, the state implements the management of production license for compound fertilizer, so the packaging label of compound fertilizer should indicate the number of production license. According to the measures for the Administration of Fertilizer Registration of the Ministry of Agriculture, the agricultural administrative departments at the provincial level shall register and manage the compound fertilizers, organic fertilizers and organic-inorganic compound fertilizers circulating in the market, and the fertilizer registration certificate number should also be marked on the packaging label. for example, it is marked in the form of Yue Nong Fei (2003) Linzi No. 100 or Yue Nong Fertilizer (2003) No. The packaging label should be marked with the standard number of fertilizer products, such as GB15063-2001, GB18877-2002 and so on. 4. the name and address of the production or distribution unit. The name and address of the unit shall be the name and address of the producer or distributor who has been registered in accordance with the law and can bear the responsibility for product quality. Farmers must read the above contents clearly when buying fertilizer, decide whether to buy or judge whether the fertilizer price is reasonable or not according to the needs of crops and the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or organic matter, and be vigilant against other exaggerated or misleading propaganda content. In view of the means of bullying farmers by illegal manufacturers in recent years, there are five main types of traps: 1. Exaggerating the total nutrient content. According to the national fertilizer labeling standard, the nutrient content of compound fertilizer refers to the total content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and medium elements such as calcium, magnesium, sulfur and trace elements are not identified. However, some manufacturers deliberately add all these medium elements to the total nutrients, or write organic matter into the total nutrients in some organic-inorganic compound fertilizers, and some binary fertilizers even include medium elements such as calcium, magnesium and sulfur in the total nutrients, so that the actual total nutrient content of compound fertilizers with only 25 or 30 of them can reach 40 or even 50 through false marking. 2. Binary fertilizer is sold as ternary fertilizer. The common method is to mark the content of medium elements or organic matter in the combination formula. It is clearly a binary compound fertilizer, but it is marked "nitrogen: 15; phosphorus: 15; copper, zinc, iron and manganese: 15", or N-PK-S 15-15-15. This kind of marking gives people the feeling of ternary compound fertilizer, which reduces the yield of crops due to the lack of certain nutrients. 3. Some enterprises deliberately print the product name, trademark name and enterprise name on the outer packaging bags in order to mislead consumers into thinking that they are imported products. Take advantage of farmers' mentality of worshiping imported compound fertilizers to make a fuss with national names similar to those of European countries, such as changing "country of origin" into "raw material producing country", using "Norway", "Dan mark", "Na Wei", and "Russian technology", or using words such as "Russian, Chinese and Canadian raw materials" to mislead farmers. 4. Exaggerate the function of the product. Put deceptive names on the bags, such as "all elements", "multi-function", "drought resistance, disease resistance" and so on. 5. Counterfeit or apply fertilizer registration certificate number. Farmers can find out whether the fertilizer is legally registered on the Internet or over the phone.
