The future of liquid fertilizer can be expected by the collective efforts of industry, university and research

Industry, academia, research, and concerted efforts of liquid fertilizer can be expected in the future.
The liquid fertilizer industry technology innovation strategic alliance and the liquid fertilizer engineering research center are formally established? The towering mountains start from the rise of the peaks in the Hezhong group, and the vastness of the water comes from the mind of collecting hundreds of rivers
.
China's liquid fertilizer industry still has many development problems today
.
From the perspective of application alone, domestic liquid fertilizers only account for less than 2% of total fertilizers, and they are mainly concentrated in functional liquid fertilizers; in the same period, liquid fertilizers in the United States accounted for 55% of total fertilizers, and even more than 90% of agricultural crops in Israel With the use of liquid fertilizer through the irrigation system, the gap is still obvious
.
In view of this, the liquid fertilizer industry technology innovation strategic alliance began to be called out.
The domestic liquid fertilizer industry has integrated resources and strengths from the full range of production, education, research and use for the first time.
There is a platform and the opportunity to work together to promote the domestic liquid fertilizer industry.
Pinnacle
.
The Liquid Fertilizer Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance was finally established.
Recently, the Liquid Fertilizer Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance was formally established in the base park of Sichuan Golden Elephant Serui Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
in Meishan, Sichuan
.
It is reported that the alliance is guided by the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association and consists of 16 companies including Sichuan Jinxiang Serui Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
, Luxi Chemical Group Co.
, Ltd.
, and Sinofert Holding Co.
, Ltd.
, as well as China Agricultural University and South China Agricultural University.
The six scientific research institutions, including the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture, also put forward constructive opinions on the scientific operation of the alliance
.
At the meeting, Lei Lin, chairman of Sichuan Jinxiang, was elected as the first executive committee chairman of the alliance, Liu Yucai, deputy general manager of Luxi Fertilizer Group, served as vice chairman, and Gao Li, deputy secretary general of China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, served as secretary general
.
The head of the alliance will be held by the members of the executive committee in turn
.
Why set up an alliance? Gu Zongqin, chairman of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, told reporters that: "From a background perspective, China's chemical fertilizer products are mainly solid, and the proportion of liquid fertilizers is very small
.
There are problems in the production of chemical fertilizers such as excessive processing, repeated packaging, and single product formula
.
Fertilizer application The method is unscientific, and the phenomenon of excessive fertilization and irrational fertilization is common, leading to problems such as low fertilizer utilization in our country, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution.

.
"Gu Zongqin believes that based on the experience of the United States, Israel and other agricultural developed countries, vigorously developing liquid fertilizers and promoting water-fertilizer integration technology have become effective means to improve the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers
.
Liquid fertilizers have high fertilizer efficiency, quick results, labor saving, low energy consumption, The characteristics of less pollution, easy to add various middle and trace elements and synergist ingredients
.
Therefore, the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association finally decided to take liquid fertilizer manufacturers as the main body, absorb liquid fertilizer formulas, liquid fertilizer production technology, packaging materials and Equipment, fertilization machinery, and irrigation and fertilization facilities production, R&D, and promotion units have formed a strategic alliance for product joint development that combines production, education, research, and use
.
Du Sen, director of the Water Conservation Division of the Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the time for the establishment of the alliance is very good.
It is in the stage of transformation and upgrading of the fertilizer structure
.
"At present, the amount of agricultural water and chemical fertilizers is still very large, and the transformation from traditional to modern agriculture is imminent
.
This year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the "Action Plan for the Zero Growth of Fertilizer Use by 2020", and also put forward the requirement of'one control, two reductions and three basic', which puts forward higher requirements on the fertilizer industry and agricultural production.
, To carry out total control, and at the same time to upgrade grain production from quantity to quality
.
The word "sharing", a platform for teamwork, has always been on the lips of Liu Shulan, the honorary chairman of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association
.
In fact, it is a fantasy for any company to promote the liquid fertilizer industry alone.
Liu Shulan believes that it must In terms of combining production, teaching and research, to give full play to their respective advantages
.
"I particularly emphasize that the alliance is a united unit of multiple enterprises, a platform for cooperation from multiple parties, and it is by no means a single unit's business
.
Manufacturers must give full play to their own R&D capabilities and cooperate with scientific research institutions
.
Of course, the results are researched and developed by the manufacturers themselves, and they are paid for use in the alliance, but they must be shared by everyone, and the companies that are moving forward will not go far
.
So the original intention of the alliance was to share innovative technology
.
"As stated in the purpose of the alliance, in order to accelerate the R&D and innovation of liquid fertilizers, lead the development of liquid fertilizers, realize industrial collaborative innovation and technology sharing, ensure the standardization, standardization and sustainable development of the liquid fertilizer industry, improve the competitiveness of China’s liquid fertilizer market, and promote the development of liquid fertilizers.
The fertilizer industry technology is upgraded, and the alliance members are gathered together to discuss cooperation and development
.
Gu Zongqin said that in accordance with the requirements of the six departments including the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture for the establishment of the alliance, a total of 22 sponsoring units were jointly developed and used to discuss bigger and bigger ones.
Strengthen the liquid fertilizer industry
.
"Give full play to the advantages of all units, realize resource information sharing, and jointly manage and maintain China's liquid fertilizer industry
.
In the future, we will do a good job in the production of existing liquid fertilizer products, jointly carry out market collaboration, organize research and development, establish technological innovation service platforms and training activities, and do a good job in the formulation of liquid fertilizer industry and new product technical standards, and strive to pass alliances for liquid The fertilizer industry made a breakthrough
.
The Liquid Fertilizer Engineering Research Center became the fulcrum of the alliance.
The Liquid Fertilizer Engineering Research Center was also inaugurated at the same time
.
In addition to the association as the competent unit, Sichuan Jinxiang assumed the task of establishing the center and shouldered the important task of developing the liquid fertilizer industry
.
Lei Lin said, Sichuan Jinxiang takes innovative research and development as its mission.
The application of liquid fertilizers aims to help soil remediation and crop yields
.
Strive to realize that the company's sales of liquid fertilizers account for more than 30% of all categories by 2020.

The establishment of the liquid fertilizer engineering research center will become Sichuan The key inflection point of Jinxiang’s strategic transformation
.
Li Xuchu, vice president of Jinxiang, said that the mission and goal of Jinxiang is to integrate liquid fertilizer technology research, product development, achievement transformation, test demonstration, technical training, cooperation and exchanges, and build a domestic A center with a first-class level and an international influence
.
In other words, the center will become the fulcrum of the alliance, promoting technological innovation and product innovation in the industry, and driving and promoting the development of national liquid fertilizer and water-fertilizer integration technology from the perspective of technology and research and development.

.
Overcoming difficulties, liquid fertilizers can only be done.
Due to the late development of liquid fertilizers in China, there are still many problems in product formulation research and development, production technology, packaging, transportation, storage, and application habits; and the utilization rate is low, only at 30 Between %-35%, the development of liquid fertilizers is greatly restricted
.
Li Xuchu said: "We have promoted the promotion of liquid fertilizers to a very high level, but people's awareness of inertia is still an obstacle; supporting policies and technical standards are not yet in place; the varieties are uneven and there is no benchmark brand; there is a lack of supporting facilities.
The advantages of liquid fertilizer cannot be fully utilized; problems such as insufficient land concentration abound
.
" Liu Shulan predicts that the time for the full promotion and use of liquid fertilizer will gradually shorten, but the premise is whether it can overcome difficulties
.
In response to the alliance’s agenda, Zhang Chenglin from South China Agricultural University put forward comprehensive personal suggestions: In terms of formula, first, the formula of liquid fertilizer should be directly related to crops and soil, and the formula should be studied and tested for regional soil and crops, combined with soil testing and fertilization
.
The second is that a single supplement of nutrients is not enough, and it is necessary to add synergistic substances, such as amino acids, humic acid, alginic acid, etc.
, to increase fertilizer efficiency
.
Liquid fertilizer is the easiest to become a functional fertilizer, saving the use of fertilizer
.
In terms of production, one is the production of simple liquid fertilizer fertilization equipment, which is low in cost and convenient to use
.
The second is to develop a liquid compounding system for use in agrochemical services, and to study a one-key automatic fertilizer distribution system
.
Third, the packaging cost of liquid fertilizers is too high.
Foreign liquid fertilizers are basically not packaged.
The packaging cost of several hundred yuan in cardboard boxes can completely reduce the existing high packaging costs
.
In terms of application, one is to write that agrochemical services require a fertilization program that must have local characteristics and be "grounded", and there must be no "one bombardment" program
.
The second is to build a large farm liquid fertilizer mixing station.
For example, the crop with the largest amount of liquid fertilizer is rice
.
The third is to vigorously build drip irrigation equipment
.
In terms of market and policy, relevant departments need to jointly promote and open up the market, and need to guide and change the habit of fertilizer use; liquid fertilizer is a good product with high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection and emission reduction, and it is necessary to consider how to introduce policies to support it.

.
How policies can help demonstrate and promote this new type of fertilizer, so the distressed ratio and excess capacity of the nitrogen fertilizer industry can be solved
.
Overcome the difficulties, there is nothing left to do
.
Du Sen said that in the face of overcapacity, product homogeneity, cancellation of preferential policies and market downturn, liquid fertilizer is the top priority for the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry and getting out of the difficulties faced by agriculture
.
To solve the problem of liquid fertilizer, one is to make it available to farmers, the other is to make farmers willing to use it, and the third is to follow up with agricultural technology services
.
The alliance will play a huge role in the later stage
.
Liu Shulan also believes that the new goal is to see whether liquid fertilizer can be used to "reform soil with fertilizer, increase production and improve quality"
.
"If liquid fertilizer can account for 30% of the domestic fertilizer market in the future, it will be a good thing
.
