Yishizhuang Achieves Fruitful Results via Taking the Lead in Key R&D ProjectsSoybean and Corn in Beidahuang Usher in Harvest Season

Autumn brings bumper harvests to the black soil, with mature soybean pods swaying in the wind. In the vast farmlands of Beidahuang Group No.9 Branch, the grand assessment concerning grain harvest and agro-technology application has entered its final evaluation phase.

Since implementing the “Taking the Lead in Key R&D Projects” initiative, Hubei Yishizhuang has carried out integrated demonstration of formula fertilization technology for soybeans and corns in Daxixi Farm, Nenjiang Farm, Nenbei Farm and Jianshan Farm, together with full-process field tracking and investigation.

Now as harvesters rumble across the fields, actual yield data speaks for itself: crops applied with Yishizhuang fertilizers deliver remarkably outstanding performance.

Field Comparison Speaks Louder Than Words

Obvious differences can be seen across multiple demonstration plots. Soybean fields using Yishizhuang formula fertilizer show higher seedling emergence rate, robust plant growth, developed root systems and dense full pods, outperforming control plots in both yield and quality. Actual yield measurement shows the soybean yield increased by 4.5% at Daxixi Farm and 2.4% at Nenjiang Farm.

In corn fields, Yishizhuang’s advantages of early sufficient supply and later stable release with long-lasting slow-release efficiency are fully displayed. Corn seedlings grow strong; under the same variety, ears are larger with more grains. In the late growth stage, plants stay green and sturdy with plump and glossy grains. Compared with the control group, corn yield increased by 7.8% at Nenbei Farm and 6.3% at Jianshan Farm, showing remarkable advantages.

Empowered by Technology: From Food Security to High-quality Supply

The success of this project is not merely a yield victory, but a model of precision agro-technology empowering modern large-scale agriculture.

Targeting the unique soil, climate and crop nutrient demand rules of the Beidahuang region, Yishizhuang provides tailored special formula fertilization solutions, rather than ordinary general fertilizers.This precision fertilization model not only fully meets crop nutrient demands and improves fertilizer utilization efficiency, but also supports the implementation of the strategy of storing grain in land and storing grain in technology. It drives agricultural production to shift from pure output growth to coordinated improvement in quality and efficiency.

Looking ahead, taking the fruitful achievements of this project as a new starting point, Yishizhuang’s matched fertilization solutions will take root and yield results in Beidahuang and broader farmlands. It will form replicable and promotable experience, contributing more technological strength to securing China’s grain supply and safeguarding national food security.
