[Focus] Yishizhuang is really excellent. Its relied on for both grains and vegetables.

On July 16, 2016, Huang Bo and Zhuang Qiuchen, regional managers of Yishizhuang, Zhou Fuzhong, a soil and fertilizer expert from Lichuan City, and Tan Zongwen, a technician from the Agricultural Service Center of Zhonglu Town, braved the scorching sun and came to Group 4, Hujiatang Village, Zhonglu Town to inspect the field demonstration effects of Yishizhuang's special fertilizers for corn, rice, vegetables and potatoes. Hu Linmei, the secretary of Hujiatang, the demonstration village, and Zhou Ziran, the secretary of the adjacent Mitangxi Village, were also invited to go along.
Nearly 10 farmers from several demonstration households and the adjacent courtyards had gathered in Li Yifang's courtyard early, waiting for the arrival of the guests from afar. When asked about the effect of Yishizhuang's special formula fertilizer, the four demonstration households all said in unison - it's good! The old man Tan Dingyin exclaimed, "This fertilizer is really good. I estimate that the yield will increase by more than 20% compared to last year!" Yishizhuang's special formula fertilizer has been widely recognized by the local people.

Manager Zhou and his group talked about the formula fertilizer as they walked.

The demonstration households led the group to the fields to observe the growth of rice, corn, chili peppers, sweet potatoes and rheum officinale. Generally speaking, the plants were growing robustly, with dark green leaves, and there was a balanced nutrition. The vegetative growth and reproductive growth were coordinated. There was no excessive vegetative growth caused by an excess of nitrogen, and there was no sign of nutrient deficiency due to insufficient fertilizer supply.

The Demonstration Effect of Yishizhuang Special Fertilizer for Rice

The rice is about to enter the initial heading stage. It is growing robustly, with sufficient tillering (an average of more than 20 tillers). The healthy leaves are upright without drooping, and the leaf color is dark green. Li Yifang said, "I think this fertilizer is really good. Look, the base of the rice plants in my field is thicker than those in others' fields. They have grown well and quickly (meaning the rice has early and sufficient tillering). I haven't even sprayed pesticides once, and there are no pests or diseases!"

The Demonstration Effect of Yishizhuang Special Fertilizer for Corn

The local farmers are accustomed to fertilizing corn four times: applying base fertilizer, fertilizing during the seedling stage (around the five-leaf stage), during the large trumpet-mouth stage, and during the tasseling stage. The base fertilizer mainly consists of compound fertilizer, and the topdressing includes two applications of urea and one application of ammonium bicarbonate. The special formula fertilizer for corn of Yishizhuang has broken the local fertilization habit of corn. It only requires one application of base fertilizer, which reduces costs and saves labor, effort, and time.

The local corn has entered the silking stage of the female ear. The aerial roots are well-developed, the stems are thick, the functional leaves are straight, and the leaf color is dark green. "This fertilizer is really good. Its fertilizer efficiency lasts for a long time. I only applied it once (only applied base fertilizer and didn't topdress). With the same variety, the corn stalks are thicker than those of last year. There is no doubt that the yield will be higher than that of last year!" Hu Yushu exclaimed.

Performances of Other Crops

The rheum officinale (a root tuber medicinal herb) is just entering the tuber development stage. The leaves are light green in color, neatly arranged and of moderate size, which is the best manifestation of the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth

The vegetative growth and reproductive growth of sweet potatoes are very well balanced. The vines do not grow vigorously, which is conducive to the formation of sweet potato tubers and improves the yield and quality of sweet potatoes. Guo Deyu pointed to her sweet potatoes and said, "In previous years, the vines grew vigorously but there was little tuber development. This year, since the vines are not growing too vigorously, the yield will definitely be high!"

The chili peppers have just entered the initial flowering stage. The leaves are dark green in color and the plants are growing robustly.

Zhou Fuzhong, a soil and fertilizer expert, gave a brief technical class on the spot to the farmers who participated in the field observation.

Do you all have this experience? In the same field, the year before last, 80 jin of fertilizer was used, and the per-mu yield of rice was 1,000 jin; last year, 100 jin of fertilizer was used, but the per-mu yield was only 900 jin; this year, 120 jin of fertilizer was used, and the per-mu yield was only 800 jin! Fertilizer was wasted, and the yield was decreasing. There is a saying in the countryside: An old woman weighing nine jin gave birth to an old woman weighing eight jin, and the old woman weighing eight jin gave birth to an old woman weighing seven jin. Each generation is worse than the previous one! Why? It's because there is no scientific fertilization!

There are so many varieties of fertilizers nowadays. Here, I will only recommend Yishizhuang to you all. Why? Mainly, Yishizhuang has four major advantages:

First, Yishizhuang is a national-level designated production enterprise of formula fertilizers. Even if something recognized by the state is not perfect, it still has a certain level of quality.

Second, the formula is scientific and reasonable, which can increase production and income. It can supply nutrients in a balanced way and ensure the robust growth of crops. This has been proven all over the country, and it has also been verified here in our Hujiatang today.

Third, the special fertilizer of Yishizhuang effectively combines organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer, ensuring the increase of crop production. At the same time, it also enriches our soil, achieving the combination of land use and land cultivation.

Fourth, it has a long-acting and slow-release effect. For a season of crops, only one fertilization is needed, which saves costs and reduces labor.

There is also another advantage called the locational advantage. Yishizhuang is located in Yichang, which is close to us. There are trains and expressways, so it can be delivered quickly. As the saying goes, a near neighbor is better than a distant relative!
