The goal of zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has successfully achieved the double utilization of fertilizers and pesticides for my country’s three major food crops

Since 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has organized a zero-growth action for the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
After five years of implementation, as of the end of 2020, China's fertilizer and pesticide reduction and efficiency increase has successfully achieved the expected goal, the use of fertilizers and pesticides has been significantly reduced, and the utilization rate of fertilizers and pesticides has been significantly reduced.
Significant improvement, and the effect of promoting the high-quality development of the planting industry is obvious
.
According to scientific calculations, the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers for the three major grain crops of rice, wheat, and corn in China in 2020 is 40.
2%, which is 5 percentage points higher than that in 2015; the utilization rate of pesticides is 40.
6%, which is 4 percentage points higher than that in 2015
.
According to reports, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, all localities will accelerate the integrated promotion of green and high-efficiency technology models for fertilizer and pesticide reduction and efficiency, and explore working mechanisms and service methods to lay a solid foundation for the reduction of fertilizer and pesticide consumption and the improvement of utilization
.
One is the continuous optimization of the input structure
.
Since 2017, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has carried out the action of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers, and promoted the replacement of chemical pesticides with high-efficiency and low-risk pesticides.
In 2020, the area of ​​organic fertilizer application exceeded 550 million mu, an increase of about 50% compared with 2015.
High-efficiency and low-risk pesticides accounted for more than 90%
.
The second is to accelerate the promotion of scientific fertilization and medicine technology
.
Vigorously carry out soil testing and formula fertilization, formula fertilizers have accounted for more than 60% of the total application of the three major food crops; speed up the promotion of advanced fertilizer saving technologies such as mechanical deep application and integration of water and fertilizer, mechanical fertilization has exceeded 700 million mu times, and water and fertilizer integration 1.
4 100 million mu times
.
Vigorously promote green prevention and control and precise scientific drug use, timely and accurate forecast of disease and insect status, promote high-efficiency plant protection medicine equipment, promote standard control, symptomatic drug use, and timely and appropriate drug use
.
In 2020, the green prevention and control area will be nearly 1 billion mu, and the green prevention and control coverage rate of major crop diseases and insect pests is 41.
5%, an increase of 18.
5 percentage points over 2015
.
The third is to improve the efficiency of fertilization and medication with professional services
.
Specialized service organizations for unified fertilizer application and unified control of diseases and insect pests have developed vigorously, reducing the “running and dripping” of individual fertilizer application and spraying drugs, and improving the efficiency of fertilizer application
.
The number of specialized unified prevention and control service organizations nationwide reached 93,000, and the coverage of the three major food crop diseases and insect pests reached 41.
9%, an increase of 8.
9 percentage points from 2015.

.
The fourth is to do a good job in demonstrating to drive volume reduction and efficiency enhancement
.
Focus on key regions and key crops, carry out demonstrations of fertilizer reduction and efficiency gains in 300 counties each year, carry out pilot projects of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers in 233 key counties, and build demonstration bases for integrated prevention and control and green prevention and control in 600 counties.
All counties have carried out pilot projects for green prevention and control of fruit and vegetable tea
.
At the same time, the establishment of "100 counties" under the unified control of plant diseases and insect pests, the establishment of green prevention and control demonstration counties, integrated promotion of fertilizer and medicine saving technology models, give full play to the leading role of demonstration counties, and promote the reduction of fertilizers and pesticides and increase efficiency
.
The fifth is to strengthen publicity and guidance to improve the level of scientific fertilization and drug use
.
Organize experts to formulate fertilizer and pesticide reduction technical plans by region and crop, formulate scientific fertilization technical guidance, issue nitrogen fertilizer application quotas for rice, wheat, corn, and rape, print and distribute more than 1 million copies of chemical fertilizer and pesticide scientific use technical manuals and publicity wall charts to guide Farmers and new business entities master the key technologies for reducing fertilizers and pesticides to avoid excessive and blind application of fertilizers and drugs
.
Organize the "Millions of Farmers Scientific Medicine Training Action" to train more than 3 million large growers, technical backbones of plant protection professional service organizations, and farmer leaders to drive small farmers to improve their scientific fertilization and medicine levels
.
In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will strengthen measures to strive to increase the utilization rate of fertilizers and pesticides by another 3% by 2025, and promote a comprehensive green transformation of agricultural production methods
.
One is to strengthen the top-level design
.
Regarding the reduction of fertilizers and pesticides as an important part of promoting the green development of agriculture and continuously improving the environmental quality, organize the formulation of implementation plans to clarify the objectives, tasks, key areas, technical paths, and main measures
.
The second is to rely on scientific and technological support
.
Organize the development and innovation of green inputs, and promote the application of new fertilizers and high-efficiency and low-risk pesticides
.
Optimize the fertilization and drug use model, implement fixed fertilization, integrate and promote the green prevention and control model, and build a green planting system
.
The third is to increase policy support
.
Actively seek support from relevant parties, establish and improve a stable investment guarantee mechanism, and continue to promote the reduction of fertilizers and pesticides
.
The fourth is to do a good job of publicity and guidance
.
Carry out scientific understanding of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, promote the promotion of green agricultural development theme, vigorously publicize the role of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, popularize scientific knowledge of fertilization and drug use, and create a good social atmosphere
