Taking the express train of chemical fertilizer transformation and upgrading, agricultural polyglutamic acid will usher in the "4.0 era"

The green transformation of the fertilizer industry is accelerating across the board
.

Some well-known experts in the industry pointed out that the development model of the traditional fertilizer industry in China, which is dominated by high-concentration nutrients, is unsustainable.
In the next 10 to 20 years, more and more fertilizers may be upgraded to green and efficient products
.

Under the green upsurge, polyglutamic acid has been respected by more and more people of insight as a new generation of high-efficiency additives
.
In the past few decades, polyglutamic acid has successfully moved out of the laboratory and towards industrialization
.
Now, under the guidance of the national "double carbon" and agricultural green development strategy, agricultural polyglutamic acid will usher in the "4.
0 era" in an all-round way
.

A new round of upgrading window for the fertilizer industry is opening, and the time does not wait for me
.

The application of polyglutamic acid has become an industry boom

The high consumption and high emission of the fertilizer industry has been difficult to meet the new demands of "carbon peaking, carbon neutrality" and "green development".
Zhang Fusuo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in a recent academic paper that innovative green and intelligent fertilizers will be the solution to the green development of the fertilizer industry.
The breakthrough of the bottleneck
.

The scientific research community is increasingly calling for the creation of green fertilizers
.
Zhao Bingqiang, a researcher from the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Zoning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, also pointed out in his paper that in the next 10 to 20 years, the construction of China's green fertilizer industry system will enter the fast lane, and bulk urea, ammonium phosphate and compound fertilizer will be large-scale.
The transformation and upgrading to green and high-efficiency products is expected to account for more than 50% of the direct application of chemical fertilizers in farmland
.

Looking for green, intelligent, resource-efficient, low-carbon and environmentally friendly green efficiency technologies has become a common focus of scientific research and industry
.
This is where polyamino acids come to the fore
.

In fact, as a new generation of plant nutrition promoters, polyamino acids won the first "US Presidential Green Chemistry Award" in 1996, which was once considered to be another revolution in the American agricultural industry, and its application boom is sweeping the world
.

In the polyamino acid family, polyglutamic acid can be described as a "darling", it is one of the only four polyamino acids that can be obtained by microbial polymerization so far
.
It can be biosynthesized through microbial fermentation, with a molecular weight of 700,000 to 2 million units.
It is recognized as a green synergist in the industry and is empowering more and more fertilizer products
.

Studies have found that polyglutamic acid has multiple effects in promoting plant growth
.
The action process of polyglutamic acid is mainly divided into three stages
.
First of all, because of its unique macromolecular structure, polyglutamic acid applied to the soil can be wrapped around the fertilizer, play a role in water retention, reduce the loss of water and fertilizer, and at the same time, it can chelate trace elements in the soil and improve the soil structure
.
Subsequently, the macromolecular structure is naturally degraded in the soil to form a small peptide peptide, which has a biological stimulation effect, which can greatly improve the photosynthesis efficiency of plants and improve the resistance to stress
.
In the end, polyglutamic acid is completely degraded naturally into a haplotype, which is directly absorbed by crops as amino acid nutrition
.
Under the synergistic effect of the three processes, the purpose of soil improvement and crop quality and yield increase is finally achieved
.

Professor Feng Xiaohai of Nanjing University of Technology once said that if 20% of the currently used fertilizers are replaced by polyglutamic acid synergistic fertilizers, 2 million tons of fertilizers can be saved every year, which is equivalent to building 4 less fertilizer plants, and farmers' income will increase by 50 billion yuan per year
.

Polyglutamic acid "4.
0 era" will come fully

There is a relatively long process for agricultural polyglutamic acid to enter the fertilizer industry, which is related to food security.
This development process can be summarized into four stages
.

In 1937, polyglutamic acid was discovered for the first time, but it was in the stage of scientific research and exploration for a long time.
Huazhong Agricultural University, Nanjing University of Technology, etc.
were the first to start the research on polyglutamic acid.
1.
0 era"
.

With the deepening of scientific research, the application potential of polyglutamic acid in agriculture has gradually been tapped
.
Based on this, some polyglutamic acid production enterprises and leading chemical fertilizer enterprises began to explore the production and application of polyglutamic acid
.
In 2008, the original Hubei Xinyangfeng Fertilizer Co.
, Ltd.
began to develop and industrialize polyglutamic acid synergistic fertilizers, focusing on solving the technological problems faced in the industrial production of polyglutamic acid synergists and synergistic fertilizers , which laid the foundation for the industrialization of polyglutamic acid
.
At this time, polyglutamic acid is in the initial stage of industrial introduction, and we call it the "2.
0 era" of polyglutamic acid
.

In the past 10 years, under the guidance of good market potential, polyglutamic acid has begun to go out of the laboratory and enter the "3.
0 era" of industrial development
.

On the one hand, many production enterprises have begun to seize the polyglutamic acid market, on the other hand, more and more leading chemical fertilizer enterprises are also focusing on polyglutamic acid and actively deploying polyglutamic acid products
.
Yuntianhua's new urea, Xinyang Fengyang Fengsulfur compound fertilizer, Red Quartet's Guyueguole compound fertilizer, Hubei Xiangyun Jindaomanman's special rice fertilizer and Liuguo Chemical's rice precision formula fertilizer are all added with polyglutamic acid.
Some new fertilizer companies like Guangdong Ladomi and special fertilizer companies such as Shaanxi Biaozheng have also added polyglutamic acid to enhance the competitiveness of their products
.

At this stage, the pattern of school-enterprise cooperation to promote the industrialization of polyglutamic acid has taken shape, and the research on the application effect of polyglutamic acid fertilizer products in the industry has increased.
The exploration of the addition process has become more active, and the popularization of downstream farmers has gradually increased
.

However, due to the limitations of the production process, the production capacity of polyglutamic acid still has room for further release, and the application of polyglutamic acid downstream products still has greater potential for exploration.
The scale of industrialization and demand are still not matched, especially It is that the awareness of grassroots farmers needs to be improved
.

In recent years, under the requirements of "double carbon" and the national sustainable development strategy, the development of environmentally friendly materials has become an industrial trend, which further promotes the process of polyglutamic acid industrialization.
At the same time, farmers have an urgent need to improve fertilizer quality and increase production
.
In addition, the speed of transformation and upgrading of green and efficient fertilizers is accelerating, and the development of polyglutamic acid is about to enter the stage of acceleration, ushering in the "4.
0 era" in an all-round way!

"Let all Chinese farmers use and use good polyglutamic acid" has become the symbol of "4.
0 era"
.
Due to the entry of more and more large-scale polyglutamic acid production enterprises and the close cooperation between upstream and downstream polyglutamic acid enterprises, the release of polyglutamic acid production capacity will be more obvious, the production efficiency will be improved in an all-round way, and the cost advantage will be more obvious.
It is possible to use polyglutamic acid for farmers
.
In downstream enterprise applications, the addition of polyglutamic acid will maximize the effect of synergistic nutrients
.
At the same time, the popularization of the industry will be more extensive, and the farmers' understanding will be more in-depth.
The use of polyglutamic acid will make the soil environment healthier, the crops will grow stronger, and the farmers' income will be more obvious.
The era is coming
