Technological innovation leads the transformation and upgrading of the fertilizer industry

With ten years of innovation and ten years of hard work, the slow-release fertilizer that was once regarded as "noble fertilizer" by developed countries has now achieved a magnificent turn, becoming the master fertilizer of my country's planting industry and a good helper for increasing agricultural production and increasing farmers' income.
A few days ago, at the 2016 National Slow and Controlled Release Fertilizer Promotion Work Conference hosted by the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Slow and Controlled Release Fertilizer Engineering Technology Research Center and undertaken by Kingenta Ecological Engineering Group Co.
, Ltd.
, from the National Agricultural Technology Extension Persons in charge of service centers, provincial soil and fertilizer stations, grassroots extension personnel, and growers talked freely about the promotion of slow and controlled-release fertilizers through the use of new technologies such as co-seeding of seed and fertilizer, integration of water and fertilizer, and new agrochemical service models.
The fruitful results achieved in the green development of agriculture in my country.
Facilitating the reduction of chemical fertilizers and high yield has significant effects.
At present, it is more difficult to increase the quality of agricultural products.
Agricultural development is overly dependent on chemical fertilizer input.
Decentralized management restricts the promotion of scientific fertilization technology.
Soil degradation and environmental risks are intensified, and resource constraints are becoming increasingly severe.
Xu Yang, the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center, pointed out that the functions of slow-release fertilizers to save costs, increase efficiency, and save energy and reduce emissions are of great significance to ensuring food security, agricultural product quality and safety, and agricultural ecological security.
Take the demonstration effect of the slow and controlled release fertilizer test in 2015 as an example.
According to statistics, in 2015, the demonstration and promotion of slow-release fertilizers nationwide has been expanded to 25 provinces and 83 pilot demonstration sites.
Demonstration data shows that slow-release fertilizers have an obvious overall increase in corn yield, an average increase of 16.
2% per unit area and an increase of 187.
5 yuan in income compared with farmers' habitual fertilization; an average increase of 7.
6% per unit area and an increase in income of 100.
3 yuan compared with ordinary fertilizers of equal nutrients.
In the corn experiment and demonstration in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, Jinzhengda slow-release fertilizer reduced the total cost per unit area and increased the efficiency by about 215 compared with the conventional fertilization.
5 yuan.
Xin Jingshu, Director of the Soil and Fertilizer Division of the National Agricultural Technology Extension Center, said that the state has set a goal of zero growth in fertilizer use by 2020.
It must follow the technical route of "precision, adjustment, modification, and replacement" to further promote soil testing and formula fertilization and strengthen the research and development of new fertilizers.
Optimize the structure of existing fertilizer products.
The promotion and application of new fertilizer products such as slow-release fertilizers, and the demonstration and promotion of new fertilization methods such as simultaneous seeding of fertilizers and mechanical fertilization play a very important role in reducing the amount of chemical fertilizers and improving fertilizer utilization.
Promoting "seed fertilizer simultaneous sowing" hundreds of millions of farmers benefited 10 years ago, on March 4, the Kingenta Group's 300,000-ton slow-release fertilizer production line was completed and put into operation, becoming the largest slow- and controlled-release fertilizer production base in Asia.
The industrialized production of fertilizer has made a good start in China.
On the same day, the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Center and Kingenta Corporation jointly held the first "National Controlled Release Fertilizer Research and Application Summit", which opened a new milestone in the application and promotion of controlled release fertilizer technology.
In the past 10 years, under the careful deployment and scientific organization of the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Center, Kingenta and related promotion units have been committed to the research and development, promotion and application of slow and controlled release fertilizer technologies and products through various forums and test demonstration activities.
Technical services and farmer training are the main line, so that slow-release fertilizer products have never been recognized and gradually accepted by farmers, and now they have become the preferred fertilizer varieties for most farmers.
Leading companies in the chemical fertilizer industry, such as Jinzhengda, have broken the technological monopoly of developed countries through technological innovation.
They were once regarded as "aristocratic fertilizer" slow-release fertilizers.
The annual growth rate in my country has reached more than 45%, and production and consumption have already accounted for More than 50% of the world total, and has become the main product of my country's new fertilizer.
From 2006 to 2015, the demonstration cooperation between Kingenta and the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center covered 36 crops in 26 provinces, municipalities and 118 cities and counties.
Under the government-guided and enterprise-led model, the application area of ​​slow-release fertilizers exceeded 200 million mu (about 13.
33 million hectares), basically covering the fields and cash crops in major regions of my country, saving about 74 billion yuan in cost and efficiency.
During this period, Kingenta fully launched the "fertilizer seeding" technical service, providing tens of thousands of seeding fertilizer seeding machines for free across the country, and carrying out the industry's largest agrochemical service activities with the widest coverage and the most benefiting farmers.
At the same time, establish demonstration fields, hold on-site observation meetings, and innovate the slow and controlled-release fertilizer promotion model of "equal emphasis on increasing production and efficiency, supporting good varieties and methods, and combining agricultural machinery and agronomy".
In addition, through joint training courses and the establishment of farmer field schools, the latest agricultural knowledge and technology are brought to the fields to help farmers improve the level of scientific fertilization, change unreasonable fertilization habits, and cultivate new professional farmers.
By 2015, Kim Zhengda has invested and mobilized 16.
There are more than 80,000 fertilizer seeding machines, and more than 180,000 training machine seeders.
Through training, the machine-seeded manual operation technology has been standardized, and excellent seeding and fertilization have been ensured.
At the same time, various professional cooperatives and other social resources have been widely mobilized to benefit more farmers.
Bao Dongfeng, an excellent distributor, began to sell controlled-release fertilizer products as an agent in 2007.
He was very impressed with the development of controlled-release fertilizers over the years.
“In the past, I tried every means to introduce to the growers, everyone was always skeptical, and the acceptance was very low.
These are.
Through the development of various demonstration planting, observation and seed fertilizer simultaneous sowing activities, the advantages of long-term stable fertilizer efficiency and cost saving of slow and controlled release fertilizer products have been understood and accepted by more and more growers.
As a distributor, it used to be pure Now, through the platform of Kingenta's "Agrochemical Service Center", we provide a package solution for farmers to carry out soil testing and formula fertilization, seed fertilizer simultaneous sowing, fertilizer distribution, and fertilization guidance.
" Deepen technical cooperation to lead industrial development.
In recent years, the Central Government’s No.
1 document clearly requires the promotion of high-efficiency slow-release fertilizers and accelerate the transformation of agricultural development methods.
The Ministry of Agriculture and the relevant provincial departments also listed the promotion of slow and controlled-release fertilizers as a key promotion technology.
Chen Hongkun, deputy director of the National Engineering Technology Research Center for Slow and Controlled Release Fertilizers, pointed out in the ten-year development report of slow and controlled release fertilizers that Jinzheng Da has developed special formulas for field and cash crops through the integrated technology promotion model of "politics, production, learning, and research" There are more than 100 kinds of fertilizers, 6 sets of advanced industrialized process devices have been created, and industry standards for slow and controlled release fertilizers, national standards and international standards have been drafted, leading the technological progress of the slow and controlled release fertilizer industry, and greatly promoted the slow and controlled release fertilizers.
The popularization and application of the product in the country has also enhanced the influence of China's slow and controlled release fertilizers in the international arena.
In the next few years, Kingenta will strengthen cooperation with peer companies, establish horizontal partnerships through acquisitions, technology export and other cooperation methods, serve the entire industry through technology output, and promote industry technology development.
At the same time, it will deepen foreign cooperation through the introduction of international capital and overseas investment.
, International mergers and acquisitions, accelerate the pace of international development, and enhance the international influence of my country's slow-release fertilizers.
Wan Lianbu, Chairman of Kingenta Group, said that in ten years of promotion, my country’s slow-release fertilizer industry has achieved leading scale, leading standards, leading technology and leading services.
Thanks to the development of this industry, Kingenta Group has become a slower The first brand in the field of controlled-release fertilizers has ranked first in China for 10 consecutive years, and has become a well-deserved leader in China's controlled-release fertilizer industry.
The No.
1 Central Document in 2016 pointed out that it is necessary to continue to consolidate the foundation for the realization of alternative agriculture, improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture; strengthen resource protection and ecological restoration, and promote the green development of agriculture.
This also proposes changes in the application of new fertilizers such as slow and controlled release fertilizers.
High demands.
Jinzhengda will continue to cooperate with the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center to launch a new decade of slow-release fertilizer demonstration and promotion, so that the simultaneous fertilizer seeding technology can benefit more farmers, and contribute to the transformation and upgrading of my country's fertilizer industry, zero growth in fertilizer application, and the development of green ecological agriculture.
New power.
