New Fertilizer: Water-Soluble Fertilizers Become Hot Spots

It is understood that on October 27-28, 2012, the 2nd China New Fertilizer Marketing Summit Forum was held in Weifang City, Shandong Province. The Summit Forum was sponsored by the China Vegetable Association, the Peasants Daily, and the Shandong Provincial Soil and Fertilizer Terminal. At the meeting, more than 300 domestic top fertilizer experts and representatives from enterprises jointly conducted close-up, multi-angle, and omni-directional discussions and experience sharing on new fertilizer application development trends, channel marketing and actual marketing, and innovative marketing promotion models. In new fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers will become hot spots.

In the course of more than 100 years of development of chemical fertilizers in China, the theoretical basis for guiding the development, production, management, promotion and application of fertilizers is the concept of “equal nutrient equivalence”. Under the guidance of this theory, no matter whether it is research and teaching, regulatory standards, registration management, product identification, or promotion, the main concern is the nutrient content, which is the content ratio of nutrient elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. “In the future, the focus of fertilizer development and plant nutrition research should not only pay attention to nutrient content, but also pay attention to nutrient form and its scientific collocation. At the same time, we must study the mutual transformation of different nutrient morphologies and the application of adjuvants to crop nutrient absorption, transformation, and fertilizer utilization. With the new theory, under the guidance of the new theory, there will be more new topics in the R&D field of fertilizer and plant nutrition in China. There will be more new products in the production field, the market will be more prosperous, and fertilization will be more targeted and accurate. The agrochemical service will be more meticulous, the quality of agricultural production and the quality of agricultural products [5.27-1.13% share bar research report] will be further improved, and China's plant nutrition and fertilizer business will usher in another spring of its great development."

In recent years, new types of fertilizers such as slow-release fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers, trace element fertilizers, bio-organic fertilizers, and soil conditioners are being accepted by more farmers because of their good yield-increasing effects. New fertilizers are in excess of conventional fertilizers. Next, it has become the fastest growing part of the fertilizer industry. The development of new fertilizers in China needs to focus on solving six major problems: the modification and efficiency enhancement of large chemical fertilizers, and the key to solving the problem of low utilization of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers; correcting the ecological balance of the soil, resolving excessive dependence on chemical fertilizers, pursuing high yields, and prevailing Continuous cropping, large quantities of pesticides, leading to problems in soil ecological balance and nutrient balance; development of new varieties of biological fertilizers, functional fertilizers, correction of continuous cropping obstacles, improvement of soil ecological balance, reduction of pests and diseases; play a role of soil conditioners in the degradation of soils Functional recovery to solve the serious problems of farmland pollution; development of highly efficient active liquid fertilizers, promotion of growth, correction of trace element deficiency, improvement of quality, and improvement of yields of fruit trees, vegetables, and economic crops; China's total amount of controlled-release fertilizers before 2005 but 3 50,000 to 50,000 tons, about 350,000 tons in 2007, and the current output has exceeded 1 million tons, accounting for about 1/2 of the total slow-release fertilizer production in the world. Why is it developing so fast in China? This is inseparable from China's successful slow-release fertilizer company's successful reduction of production costs, making the original high-end fertilizer used in flower turf in foreign countries become a fertilizer for field grain crops that farmers can afford in China. After the slow and controlled release fertilizer, where is the next hot spot for new fertilizers?

Experts agreed that water-soluble fertilizers are in the critical period of transition from small amount of foliar sprays and other auxiliary fertilizers to large-scale application of main fertilizers in the field. Water-soluble fertilizers will become the most promising type of fertilizer in China in the next phase. At present, the country is vigorously promoting water and fertilizer integration in the northwest and northeast. Xinjiang plans to develop 27 million mu of drip irrigation under the membrane, and Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning plan to develop 38 million mu of water-saving irrigation, and irrigation and fertilization technologies have been promoted in North China and the South. Experts predict that nearly half of the total fertilizer use will be applied through the micro-irrigation system. Therefore, the market prospect of water-soluble fertilizers suitable for micro-irrigation systems is infinitely broad. According to the director of the National Fertilizer Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, Liu Hongfang, the number of valid registration certificates for various types of water-soluble fertilizers has exceeded 4,000, and the enthusiasm for enterprise registration and registration has not diminished. At present, the main types of liquid fertilizers in China are liquid foliar fertilizers and fertilization. The production of clear liquid fertilizers and suspension fertilizers is basically blank. In the stage of rapid development of liquid fertilizers, liquid nitrogen fertilizer represented by nitrogen solution and liquid compound fertilizer represented by ammonium polyphosphate will be widely used. Nitrogen solution can be used as basic liquid fertilizer, adding **, monoammonium phosphate, pesticides, plant growth regulators, etc. to prepare multi-component concentrated liquid fertilizers and suspensions.

Professor Zhang Chenglin of South China Agricultural University believes that the main tasks for the development of water-soluble fertilizers are as follows: 1. Establish a production plant for ammonium polyphosphate and nitrogen solution to provide basic raw materials; 2. Establish a production liquid or suspension type liquid fertilizer plant to establish distribution System; 3. Formulate technical standards for liquid fertilizers. Taking crop health as the core, to help customers expand resources, continue to profit, help farmers increase production and income, the sales front shifts from the store to the middle of the farm and farmers, and solve the problem of farmers as the ultimate goal of promoting sales, to achieve a win-win situation.
