The goal of zero growth of chemical fertilizer in 2020 will be achieved.

On May 28, the 10-year Development Summit of China's slow and controlled release Fertilizer was held at the Xijiao Hotel in Beijing. He Caiwen, deputy director of the planting Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the reduction of chemical fertilizers will certainly be greatly reduced. Moreover, it can ensure that the comprehensive production capacity of China's agricultural products will not be reduced, and zero growth in chemical fertilizer will be achieved in 2020.

He Caiwen said: the goal of zero growth of chemical fertilizer put forward by the Ministry of Agriculture by 2020 is mainly based on the current goal put forward by the central government to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization, reduce environmental pollution, and control non-point source pollution. Since the Ministry of Agriculture put forward the zero-growth action last year, it has received strong support from all aspects of society, and the business community, scientific research and growers have welcomed and appreciated it, and have taken positive actions to promote the implementation of the zero-growth goal.

As far as the Ministry of Agriculture is concerned, there are mainly four aspects to reduce the use of chemical fertilizer to achieve the goal of zero growth.

First, optimize the structure and lose weight. The main purpose of optimizing the structure is to optimize the crop planting structure, that is, to reduce the area of crops that use a large amount of chemical fertilizer. Optimize the planting structure, including corn, apples, vegetables and so on. In addition, the internal structure of fertilizer should be optimized, that is, the structure of the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be optimized, the product structure should be optimized, there should be multiple varieties, and the structure of multiple fertilizers should be coordinated.

Second, accurate fertilization to lose weight. The so-called precision fertilization means that we should achieve accurate fertilization through mechanical deep fertilization, simultaneous sowing of fertilizers, and so on, so as to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.

Third, organic fertilizer is a substitute for "losing weight". Through the promotion of organic fertilizer and the subsidy of the central government, the use of organic fertilizer is gradually increased to replace part of the chemical fertilizer.

Fourth, the new business main body demonstrates and promotes weight loss. At present, the amount of chemical fertilizer used by the new business main body in the country accounts for about 40%. It has identified the new business main body, that is, the main channel for fertilizer sales, and who has caught the new business main body will get the market in the future.

Last year, the Ministry of Agriculture has achieved remarkable results in implementing zero growth in chemical fertilizers. It has also selected corn, vegetables and apples as three major crops and launched 60 pilot counties to promote the weight loss model. According to statistics, the growth rate of chemical fertilizer use last year was 0.4%. In the past, the annual growth rate was more than 1%, which has been reduced by nearly 1 percentage point. To achieve zero growth in chemical fertilizer in 2020, that is, the annual growth rate will be reduced by 0.2 points, which has been reduced by nearly 1 point. It is entirely possible that chemical fertilizers should not only grow, but also have negative growth.

Since slow and controlled release fertilizer was written into the No. 1 document of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Agriculture has focused on promoting slow and controlled release fertilizer as a new fertilizer and new technology, and it should be said that it has achieved very good results. In the action of zero growth of chemical fertilizer, slow and controlled release fertilizer is also promoted as a key technology.

On the whole, fertilizer capacity is excess, and the production of fertilizer has indeed greatly exceeded our actual use. It should be said that farmers use whatever fertilizers are produced by enterprises, but now we should change the concept that enterprises should adapt to the needs of agricultural production and produce what kind of fertilizers farmers want to use. this should be a big change in concept. From the point of view of the use of slow and controlled release fertilizer, it can prolong fertilizer efficiency, reduce labor, save cost, and really have a good effect on the environment.

Judging from the current situation, scientific research institutions and enterprises should strengthen cooperation in slow and controlled release fertilizers and study different varieties of slow and controlled release fertilizers according to the law of crop fertilizer demand, different soil types, dry farming areas, paddy fields and different regions. to meet the needs of different crop periods and different growth stages, at present, some enterprises and some scientific research institutions have also made achievements in this field, but it is also necessary to strengthen scientific research in this area. So that China's slow and controlled release fertilizer can be more healthy and stable development, so that the common people can benefit more.
