Reporter: Could you please introduce in detail the development situation of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape?
General Manager Liu: During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the state specially established the National Rape Industry Technology System. This technology system covers nine major supporting technologies, including varieties, cultivation techniques, mechanization, fertilization, and pest control. This series of supporting technologies of the rape industry system are leading in China and also an industry system that adapts to the current development situation of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. The research, development, and promotion of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape are major technological achievements of the National Rape Industry Technology System.
Reporter: Academician Fu Tingdong affirmed that the fertilizer effect of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape is good. Could you please introduce the situation in this regard?
General Manager Liu: Academician Fu Tingdong is the chief scientist of the National Rape Industry System, the father of hybrid rape, and one of the top ten meritorious figures in China's seed industry. Academician Fu has inspected the effect of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape many times in the main rape production areas across the country, and each inspection has left a deep impression on him. He believes that: the rape applied with Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape has a high emergence rate. In the early stage, the seedlings are uniform and strong; in the middle stage, the growth is steady and the resistance is good; in the later stage, the flowering fade, seed setting, and maturity are uniform. One-time fertilization can manage the whole process, and the uniform maturity is beneficial for machine harvesting.
Reporter: What is the current situation of the promotion and application of Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape in the market?
General Manager Liu: The on-site meetings for rape production held by the Ministry of Agriculture in Xishui and Gong'an, Hubei Province, and the on-site meeting for the whole-process mechanized production of rape held by the Hubei Provincial Department of Agriculture in Shayang, Hubei Province, all recommended Yishizhuang long-acting slow-release special fertilizer for rape. The National Rape Industry System also regards Yishizhuang as the supporting fertilizer for the whole-process mechanized production of rape. In the acceptance of the rape soil testing formula fertilization project organized by the Hubei Provincial Soil and Fertilizer Station, Yishizhuang long-acting slow-release special fertilizer for rape showed significant advantages. The on-site meetings for the whole-process mechanized production of rape organized by the Changde Agricultural Science Institute in Hunan Province and the Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences also recommended Yishizhuang special fertilizer for rape respectively.
Reporter: Teacher Du, you have a technical background. How do you view the innovation of Yishizhuang?
Teacher Du: Yishizhuang has always been committed to innovation. What does it rely on for innovation? Firstly, it is the cooperation with universities, colleges, and scientific research institutes. Over the years, it has closely cooperated with the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Regional Planning and the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the College of Resources and Environment of Huazhong Agricultural University, Zhengzhou University, the National Technology Promotion Center for Phosphate and Compound Fertilizers, the Hubei Engineering Center for New Fertilizers, the Provincial Soil and Fertilizer Station, and the agricultural departments of various cities, counties, and districts. It has successively undertaken and completed projects such as "Correction Fertilization and High-Quality Cultivation of Citrus" in the National Citrus Industry System, the key project of the National Science and Technology Support Plan during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, "Trial Production and Demonstration Fertilizer Production of High-Efficiency Special Fertilizers for Rice and Rape", the special project for the construction of the Modern Agricultural Industry Technology System during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, "Research on High-Efficiency and Safe Fertilization Technology and Special Fertilizers for Major Vegetables", and the Spark Program of Hubei Province, "Development and Application of Special Fertilizers for Pollution-Free Vegetables in Mountainous Areas". The "Research on Crop Special Fertilizers" won the first prize of scientific and technological achievements of the Yichang Municipal People's Government. The special fertilizer formulas for multiple crops such as rape, rice, and citrus have obtained national patents, and the formula fertilizer for cotton is currently applying for a national patent. The company attaches great importance to the upgrading of products. For example, we have developed a new generation of special fertilizer for rice, which basically meets the growth needs of super rice. In the past, we only had general hybrid rice varieties, that is, only nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium needed to be applied, regardless of the region and variety. But now the concept of super rice is completely different. Not only nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium need to be applied, but also zinc and silicon. The demand for silicon in rice is very large, far exceeding that of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Because the return rate of silicon nutrients has been very low in recent years.

Reporter: Teacher Du, could you please briefly introduce Yishizhuang fertilizer? What are the advantages of this fertilizer?
Teacher Du: Since I started working, I have been engaged in soil and fertilizer work. I served as the deputy director for eight years and the director for nine years, and I have always been paying attention to fertilizers. Currently, my biggest feeling is that Yishizhuang has been very effective in technological integration and innovation. General Manager Liu has long been concerned about the forefront of fertilizer technology, and pays attention to absorbing and digesting advanced scientific and technological achievements. Yishizhuang products can be said to integrate and utilize the most advanced equipment, production processes, and balanced fertilization technology, slow-release and controlled-release technology, micro-fertilizer chelation technology, soil remediation technology, soil conditioning technology, etc. at home and abroad. Through integrated innovation, Yishizhuang has formed the product characteristics of full nutrition, multi-function, and light simplification, and the products are constantly upgraded, making it unique in the industry. After more than 20 years of concentration and professional production, it has forged the professional quality and brand of Yishizhuang. Now, it has successfully developed a full range of formula fertilizers covering grains, cotton, oilseeds, melons, fruits, vegetables, flowers, medicinal materials, tea, etc., as well as long-acting slow-release fertilizers, with obvious advantages and outstanding effects.
