The Magical Effect of Scientific Fertilization: Lao Lu Falls in Love with Yishizhuang - A Short Account of the Story of Lao Lu, a Large-scale Grain Grower in Songzi, Forming a Bond with Yishizhuangs Formulated Corn Fertilizer

    Recently, a cornfield in Songzi has attracted the enthusiastic attention of the surrounding farmers. Here's what happened. Lao Lu, a large-scale grain grower in Songzi, planted a patch of sweet corn and used the Yishizhuang formulated corn fertilizer recommended by Boss Liu, a local agricultural materials dealer. When the corn planted by Lao Lu had just emerged, the nearby farmers started to comment on his cornfield. We met a farmer who said, "Boss Lu's cornfield is right beside the road we take to work. He planted sweet corn and used the fertilizer provided by Boss Liu. In the early stage, it grew really poorly. The leaves weren't as dark green as the ones we used to plant, and they weren't as big as ours either. Overall, it looked light yellow and wilted. We often made fun of Lao Lu about this. At that time, we were secretly laughing to ourselves and feeling lucky that we didn't use that special fertilizer."
After all, to know exactly what the situation was like after using the Yishizhuang formulated corn fertilizer, we should still draw a conclusion on the spot. On the afternoon of April 22nd, Manager Zhou Fei, who was in charge of the local fertilizer sales of Yishizhuang Company, found Lao Lu. When he asked Lao Lu about his feelings after using the Yishizhuang formulated corn fertilizer, Boss Lu blurted out, "I just feel like I've been deceived. The fertilizer is fake." Lao Lu told Manager Zhou that some time ago, he had gone to Boss Liu, the fertilizer seller, several times to complain that he had been given fake fertilizer. Lao Lu also said, "Boss Liu was full of confidence at first, but after he went to see my cornfield in person, he himself became uncertain."

   In order to dispel Boss Liu's concerns and also to give Lao Lu a reasonable explanation, Manager Zhou consulted the company's technical team and received a satisfactory reply. The general reasons were as follows: After the fertilizer was applied, the low temperature at that time prevented the fertilizer from fully exerting its effect. Another very important reason was that Yishizhuang's formulated corn fertilizer took into account the entire growth period of the corn and added a long-acting slow-release agent. There is a process for the release, absorption and utilization of nutrients. When the corn has 1 to 5 leaves, it requires very little fertilizer, and it mainly focuses on root growth. However, most of the general compound fertilizers we use nowadays have a high concentration and are released quickly. This usually brings more harm than good. That is, it may seem that the leaves look good, with dark green color and thick leaves, but the roots often cannot penetrate deeply into the soil, resulting in frequent lodging in the later stage. Our Yishizhuang fertilizer is different. The fertilizer is slowly released in the early stage, and it may not be noticeable at first, but it will be a dark horse in the later stage, with deep and firm roots and strong stems that are resistant to lodging.
In this way, Manager Zhou immediately conveyed the opinions given by the company's technical team to Boss Liu and Lao Lu. Boss Liu agreed, but Lao Lu was still skeptical. After the sincere promises from Manager Zhou of Yishizhuang and Boss Liu, Lao Lu's restless mood was finally calmed down, and he stopped going to Boss Liu to complain. Time passed quietly. In Lao Lu's expectant yet doubtful state, 20 days passed. That is, on May 12th, when we came to this cornfield again, everyone showed an incredulous expression. This unremarkable cornfield had grown up in just over ten days. At first glance, it gave a refreshing feeling. The entire cornfield was so uniform and tidy. The stems were much thicker than those in the adjacent cornfields, and the dense secondary roots exposed at the bottom of the stems were all deeply rooted in the soil. The leaves were no longer yellow, and there were very few diseases and pests.
When we found Lao Lu again, we saw this meticulous large-scale grain grower beaming with joy. He told us enthusiastically, "First of all, it's incredible. It was so poor in the early stage, but it actually grew up miraculously in the later stage and performed so well!" With our active promotion, Boss Lu called most of the nearby villagers together. Everyone gathered around and listened to Lao Lu telling the story of "the application of Yishizhuang's formulated corn fertilizer on this sweet cornfield". Although it was raining continuously that day, Lao Lu's heart was filled with burning enthusiasm. He vividly recounted his psychological journey from doubting to believing in Yishizhuang's formulated corn fertilizer. Finally, he excitedly told everyone, "We can't help but believe in science. Look at my cornfield. It's growing so well! Yishizhuang's one-time fertilization technology for corn fertilizer is the kind of scientific technology that we ordinary people can trust!"

    At this moment, in this cornfield, there are bursts of praises and laughter from everyone for Yishizhuang's formulated corn fertilizer.
