Yishizhuang Fertilizer Promotes the Three Reductions and Three Increases in Alpine Vegetables

In contrast to the prosperity and noise of the city, this peaceful land is filled with blooming flowers, the fragrance of fruits, and farmers returning with hoes in the moonlight, beaming with joy at the bountiful harvest of vegetables.

On August 22, 2019, the "Hubei Alpine Vegetable Reducing Fertilizer Application and Increasing Efficiency On - site Observation Meeting" was grandly held in Changyang County. Nearly 150 people, including the national vegetable industry expert team, provincial leaders, vegetable cooperatives, and large - scale growers, participated in this meeting. They gathered in the demonstration fields around the new technologies, new varieties, and new models for the green, high - yield, and efficient development of alpine vegetables.

Among them, under the guidance of the local soil and fertilizer station, the slow - release and controlled - release fertilizer experiment, the substitution of chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers experiment, and the demonstration of special fertilizers for vegetables carried out by Hubei Yishizhuang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. on tomatoes became the highlights of this observation meeting. Provincial leaders and experts in the vegetable system conducted on - site observations, recognized the application effect of special fertilizers for vegetables and the coordination of their integration with key technologies, and consulted on relevant issues. Researcher Zhao Shujun from the Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences answered on - site.

Yishizhuang's special fertilizers for vegetables have been promoted in Changyang County for many years. The vegetable package fertilization plan combined with organic fertilizers has a very good application effect on alpine vegetable crops such as Chinese cabbages, peppers, radishes, and tomatoes, and is generally recognized by local growers. To adapt to simplified cultivation, reduce the application of chemical fertilizers, and reduce the labor input cost of growers, the company has developed special slow - release and controlled - release fertilizers for vegetables on the original basis, with one - time fertilization covering the whole process. It is currently the second consecutive year of experimentation in the field of grower Wei Tianjiong. According to the data of last year, the yield and income are very considerable. Under the premise of reducing 1 - 2 labors, the yield of peppers increased by 11.7% compared with customary fertilization, and the yield of tomatoes increased by 7.2% compared with customary fertilization. The growth in the field this year is also very good, and the yield data is currently being collected.

Hubei is a major vegetable - producing province, and Changyang County is also known as the "No. 1 County of Alpine Vegetables in China". Due to its outstanding geographical advantages and distinct industrial characteristics, it has become a treasure trove of the national vegetable industry technology system, giving birth to new technologies and new models in many research fields involving alpine vegetable breeding, soil and fertilizer, plant protection, and healthy cultivation, helping to solve many practical planting problems. The holding of this meeting is precisely a perfect display of the achievements of ecological vegetable cultivation and the "three reductions and three increases" healthy cultivation.

Moreover, in response to the common problems of reducing the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Hubei Province has also established a demonstration base for the comprehensive application of reducing fertilizer and pesticide application and increasing efficiency technologies in typical representative areas, carried out research, demonstration, and promotion of reducing fertilizer, pesticides, and labor in vegetables, and improving quality and increasing efficiency, promoting the high - quality development of the vegetable industry.

In terms of reducing fertilizer for vegetables, saving labor, and improving quality and increasing efficiency, Yishizhuang's special slow - release and controlled - release fertilizers for vegetables have achieved certain results under the verification of experiments by experts and technicians over the years. It is believed that they will be widely promoted in the near future, bringing practical benefits to growers.
