China's new fertilizer development strategy, direction and goals

Fertilizer Industry Development Strategy

1. It is predicted that China’s demand for chemical fertilizer will be 68 million tons in 2030, which is an increase of 26.5 million tons of chemical fertilizer supply each year. The state needs to increase investment by about 150 billion yuan, and consume more than US$1.5 billion in foreign exchange annually. Farmers need to increase 100 billion yuan in purchasing fertilizer. Yuan expenses, social and economic costs are enormous. It is difficult to achieve an average fertilization level of 680 kg/hm2 for 100 million hectares of cultivated land in the country in 2030, and it is also unacceptable for the soil and the environment. By 2030, China's economy will be at the level of large and medium-developed countries. The focus of the study should be on how to increase the efficiency of fertilizers rather than continuing to substantially increase the level of fertilizers. Therefore, to update concepts and break through traditions, we will strive to implement a qualitative alternative to quantitative development strategy for the fertilizer industry in China in the next 30 years. We will strive to control the supply of fertilizer within 50 million tons and develop new fertilizers without increasing or slightly increasing the amount of chemical fertilizers. Next, we will ensure China’s food security by improving efficiency.

2. Technical problems and development goals in the development of new fertilizers

Controlled-release fertilizers, microbial fertilizers, commodity organic fertilizers, and multi-functional fertilizers are the hotspots for the research and development of new-type fertilizers in the world and in the future, representing the research and development direction of new-type fertilizers. In general, the research and development of new fertilizers in China, compared with developed countries, have weak basic research, and key technologies such as materials, processes, and equipment have not made major breakthroughs as a whole and industrial technology platforms with independent intellectual property rights have not yet been established. Low level of technology. We will strengthen basic and applied basic research, focus on breakthroughs in key technologies that limit the development of industrialization, build industrialized platform technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and promote industrialization. This is the goal of new types of fertilizer development in China at present and in the future.

3, slow / controlled release fertilizer

The problems are: 1) Controlled release material innovation lags behind. The quality and price of controlled-release fertilizers depend critically on the innovation of controlled release materials. Japan's breakthrough in controlled-release fertilizer research is due to innovations in coated materials. Although China's controlled release material research has its own characteristics, it is basically drawing lessons from the experience of developed countries. In the areas of materials such as coating materials, cement materials, and enzyme inhibitors, no major breakthroughs have been made, and the development of accelerated controlled release materials is a new type of development. Sustained and controlled release fertilizers. 2) The key technology is weak. China's controlled-release fertilizer research started late and began to participate in the chemical industry. Key technologies mainly learn from Japan and other foreign experiences. Although in recent years, the National 863 Program and so on have all ended up eating controlled-release fertilizers, scientists have conducted a large number of unique studies on materials, controlled-release techniques, and processes in light of national conditions. However, major key technologies still require further research. breakthrough. 3) The process equipment is not matched. The degree of industrialization is not high. China's resin-coated fertilizers draw on Japan's technology for digestion, absorption, and development in materials, processes, and equipment, and have made some progress. However, there are still gaps in production scale and product quality. Nutrient material wrapping technology and equipment are original in China, but the cost of materials and technology is still high, yet it needs further improvement. Other matrix compounding and cementation equipments are still in the stage of small-scale trial and pilot-scale, and there is still a long way to go before large-scale industrialization. As a whole, China's controlled-release fertilizer processes and equipment still belong to workshop-style production and require large-scale technological advancement. 4) Basic application research and quality standards are basically blank. China's controlled-release fertilizers' practical technology research and quality evaluation are subject to the constraints of the entire industrialization level and are still very weak. In a word, China's controlled-release fertilizer research is due to weak key technologies and unmatched process equipment, which forms an innovative technology platform with independent intellectual property rights, which leads to a low level of industrialization, high product prices, and low yields.

Development ideas and goals: In the near future and in the coming period, the research and development of Chinese slow/controlled release fertilizers should focus on solving the key technologies of price, industrialization, platform technology, process equipment, industrialization platform, talent team, farmers’ understanding, practical technology, Evaluation methods and other major issues. The agricultural scientific research department, chemical industry, and enterprise linkages will strive to overcome key technologies during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period; build industrialization platform technology in the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” and make breakthroughs in industrialization; “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” full realization of industrialization, controlled-release fertilizer Recognized and accepted by the majority of farmers, it has a place in the fertilizer market in China.

4. There are problems with microbial fertilizers: 1) Basic and applied basic research is seriously lagging behind. The mechanism of microbial fertilizers, the constraining factors and mechanism of the effects are backward, the means of screening and constructing high-efficiency microbial fertilizer strains are backward, the fertilizer strains are lacking in innovation, microbial strains used are narrow in species and species, carrier, process, fermentation conditions, and more The basic research in the key technology fields such as functional bacterial group combination is backward, and it is now treating the development of the microbial fertilizer industry in China. 2) The scale of industrialization is small, product quality is uneven, and the market is chaotic. Quality standards and quality inspection techniques need to be improved. From the perspective of China's overall microbial fertilizer, there is still a distance from the standardization of production, enterprise management, legalization of management, integration of production and sales, and commercialization of products, as well as certain output scales and production groups, etc.; the microbial fertilizer market is still relatively confusing and industry management. To be further regulated; product standards research lags behind, the level of quality inspection needs to be improved, there is no advanced, rapid, accurate quality inspection technology system, the current detection of products mainly rely on conventional technology.

Development Ideas and Objectives: Basic and applied basic research of microbial fertilizers should be strengthened. Within the next 5 to 10 years, the key to breakthroughs in bacterial species construction techniques and strain combination techniques are to obtain independent intellectual property rights in terms of carriers, dosage forms, fermentation processes, and equipment. Key technologies. Broaden product areas, develop a number of new types of microbial fertilizer products; strengthen quality standards and inspection technology research, and form an advanced, rapid and accurate quality inspection technology system for microbial fertilizers, which is the healthy development of China's microbial fertilizer industry.

5. The problems with commercial organic fertilizers are: 1) The research on rapid fermentation technology lags behind. China has not made breakthroughs in key technologies for high-temperature rapid fermentation of biological agents, development of bio-chemical-physical continuous rapid fermentation systems, rapid and efficient deodorization technologies, rapid continuous fermentation processes, and equipment support, mainly through the introduction or reference of foreign technologies. Lack of key technologies with intellectual property rights. The introduction of foreign technology has high fermentation costs and poor practicality in the country. 2) The key technologies for fertilizer production need to be broken. Fermentation materials made of commercial organic fertilizer product formulations, biological organic fertilizer production, organic and inorganic compatibility, organic compound slow-release fertilizer production, granulation adhesive technology, and process equipment technology, etc. need to be a breakthrough.

Development ideas and goals: In the next 5 to 10 years, strengthen basic research in the field of rapid fermentation and deodorization of organic materials; establish a high-speed continuous rapid fermentation system for organic materials with independent intellectual property rights in China; carry out key technologies for the industrialization of commercial organic fertilizers, Build a technical platform for the industrialization of commodity organic fertilizer in China; promote the industrialization of commodity organic fertilizer in China and realize the upgrading of traditional organic fertilizer products.

6, new functional fertilizer

Research in this area has just started and there are still many technical problems. The focus of future research should be on basic and applied basic research. In 5 to 10 years, breakthrough in key technologies, preliminary establishment of an industrialization platform, and industrialization in certain areas. The areas that will focus on strengthening research include: functional fertilizers that promote the development of crop roots to the public's depth, fertilizers that resist standing-down of crop erection, organic-friendly fertilizers that use inorganic nutrients instead of organic insecticides (bacteria), and non-water-soluble fertilizers. Phosphatic fertilizers provide fertilizers for fertigation and fertilizers, and water-retaining fertilizers.
