Utilization rate over 40%: the zero-growth action of fertilizer and pesticide use achieves the goal

Since 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has continued to carry out the zero-growth action for the use of fertilizers and pesticides, achieving the expected goals
.
According to scientific calculations, the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers for the three major food crops of rice, wheat and corn in 2020 will be 40.
2%, and the utilization rate of pesticides will be 40.
6%
.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the 17th that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, various localities accelerated the integrated promotion of green and high-efficiency technology models for fertilizer and pesticide reduction and efficiency, and explored working mechanisms and service methods, which promoted the high-quality development of the planting industry
.
The utilization rates of fertilizers and pesticides for the three major food crops in 2020 have increased by 5 and 4 percentage points respectively compared with 2015
.
It is understood that the structure of China's agricultural inputs has continued to be optimized, and scientific fertilization and drug use technologies have been accelerated
.
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, and high-efficiency and low-risk pesticides accounted for more than 90%
.
Vigorously develop and promote technologies such as soil testing and formula fertilization, mechanical deep application, and water and fertilizer integration, and promote green prevention and control and precise scientific drug use
.
Formulated fertilizer accounts for more than 60% of the total application of the three major food crops, and the green prevention and control coverage rate of major crop diseases and insect pests reaches 41.
5%
.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that professional services have improved the efficiency of fertilizer application
.
The professional service organization of unified fertilizer application and unified control of diseases and insect pests has developed vigorously, which reduces the dripping of individual fertilizers and sprays, and improves the efficiency of fertilizers and medicines
.
It is reported that the agricultural and rural departments are doing a good job of demonstrating, carrying out fertilizer reduction and efficiency demonstration demonstrations in 300 counties every year, conducting organic fertilizer substitution experiments in 233 key counties, and building demonstration bases for integrated prevention and control and green prevention and control in 600 counties.
, Carry out pilot projects for the whole-process green prevention and control of fruit and vegetable tea in 150 counties
.
Organize experts to formulate technical plans, guide farmers and new business entities to master key technologies, and organize the "Scientific Medicine Training Action for Millions of Farmers"
.
In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will strengthen top-level design, strengthen scientific and technological support, increase policy support, and promote publicity and guidance, and 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.
