Strengthening the Docking and Cooperation between Agriculture and Enterprises to Promote Soil - Testing Formula Fertilization

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has issued the "National Plan for the Development of Planting Industry during the 14th Five - Year Plan Period", which specifically mentions promoting the green efficiency increase of chemical fertilizers and the high - quality development of the pesticide industry. The "Plan" proposes to promote the green efficiency increase of chemical fertilizers. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of a modern scientific fertilization technology system, management system, and institutional system, promote mechanized fertilization, integration of water and fertilizer, and multi - element collaboration, strengthen the integrated innovation and promotion and application of new fertilizer products, technologies, and equipment, promote the precision, intelligence, greenness, and specialization of fertilization, and increase the amount of organic fertilizer resources returned to the field, the coverage rate of soil - testing formula fertilization, and the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers.
In the 15 years since the implementation of the soil - testing formula fertilization project, various regions have carried out a large amount of work around the five key links of "testing, formulating, producing, supplying, and applying", making great contributions to ensuring food security and promoting the green development of agriculture.

In terms of food security, soil - testing formula fertilization is a basic guarantee. Fertilizers are the material basis for food production. Half of the food output comes from chemical fertilizers. Scientific fertilization plays a fundamental guarantee role in stabilizing national food security. In terms of green development, soil - testing formula fertilization is a key support. In 2019, the total amount of agricultural chemical fertilizers in China decreased by more than 6 million tons compared with 2015, and remarkable achievements have been made in the work of reducing fertilizer use and increasing efficiency. However, problems such as high application intensity of chemical fertilizers, unbalanced fertilization structure, and low fertilizer utilization rate still exist in some regions.

In terms of quality - oriented agriculture, soil - testing formula fertilization is a core element. Nutrients are the core of agricultural product quality, and reasonable fertilization is a key measure to improve quality and efficiency. By implementing soil - testing formula fertilization, especially making good use of organic fertilizers, balancing macronutrients, and supplementing medium and trace elements, it can effectively promote the improvement of agricultural quality and efficiency, and increase farmers' production and income.

Strengthening the docking between agriculture and enterprises is an effective way to promote soil - testing formula fertilization. In implementing soil - testing formula fertilization, the key measure is to accelerate the promotion of formula fertilizers. Strengthen the cooperation between agriculture and enterprises, guide enterprises to accelerate the research and development of new fertilizer products, and promote the upgrading of product quality. Organize new business entities and social service organizations to carry out large - scale and standardized demonstration and promotion, and gradually build a "multi - element - based" scientific fertilization promotion system.

Hubei Yishizhuang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. has been dedicated to making "one bag of fertilizer" well for 30 years, and this "one bag of fertilizer" refers to the special "formula fertilizer" for crops based on soil - testing formula fertilization. As a pioneer enterprise in practicing soil - testing formula fertilization, after relevant documents on the docking between agriculture and enterprises for formula fertilizers were successively issued by agricultural technology departments in various regions, Yishizhuang actively responded, took the initiative to dock, and cooperated deeply. It has successively signed agreements on the docking between agriculture and enterprises with many places such as Yichang, Jingzhou, Suizhou, Xianning, Daye, Xiaogan, and Huanggang. Through carrying out technical training with the theme of soil - testing formula fertilization, as well as diversified promotion forms such as 100 - mu demonstration points and 1000 - mu demonstration areas for formula fertilizers, the promotion work of formula fertilizers has been implemented. At the same time, Yishizhuang, together with local agricultural technology extension departments, has screened a number of distribution outlets and image stores for formula fertilizers, better realizing the "last mile" of the technology of formula fertilizers to farmers. In various distribution outlets and image stores, through various publicity channels such as store publicity posters, leaflets, and signboards, the important significance of soil - testing formula fertilization is publicized to guide growers to give priority to choosing formula fertilizer products, contributing to the acceleration of the promotion of formula fertilizers.

It is worth mentioning that the agricultural technology extension departments in various regions and the agrochemical technical personnel of Hubei Yishizhuang Company have actively and vigorously carried out technical training cooperation. More than 30 soil - testing formula agricultural technology training meetings have been successively held in places such as Yichang in Hubei, Jingmen in Hubei, Kunming in Yunnan, and Nanping in Fujian, which have been welcomed and recognized by the majority of growers. Through technical guidance and the diversified display of formula fertilization, the growers' awareness of formula fertilizers has been enhanced, the enthusiasm for scientific farming has been increased, and fruitful results have been achieved.
"Leading scientific fertilization and benefiting thousands of households", Yishizhuang will adhere to the concept of soil - testing formula fertilization, produce good special formula fertilizer products for crops, and contribute to farmers' income increase and prosperity, the sustainable development of agriculture, and the clear waters and green mountains of the environment.
