According to the recent forecast of the agricultural resources department, the three kinds of fertilizers will be popular in the market in the future.
The first is special fertilizers for vegetables and fruits. The prices of bulk agricultural products such as rice, wheat, corn and soybeans in our country are currently 10%-70% higher than those in the international market, and their competitiveness in the international market is weak. The price of vegetables and fruits in China is about 30% lower than similar products in the international market, and it is highly competitive in the international market. After joining the WTO, the export volume of vegetables and fruits in China has increased substantially. It is expected that the demand for special fertilizers for vegetables and fruits will increase greatly.
The second is industrialized organic fertilizer. Long-term partial application of chemical fertilizers can easily lead to a decline in soil organic matter, resulting in a decline in the quality of crops, such as melon is not sweet, rice is not fragrant, dishes tasteless and so on. One of the key measures to improve the quality of agricultural products is to apply more organic fertilizer. Industrial fertilizers have high fertilizer efficiency and will gradually replace farmyard fertilizers in the future, becoming the main force in the fertilizer industry, especially organic and inorganic compound fertilizers that are processed through the treatment of livestock and poultry manure with a small amount of chemical fertilizers. The prospects can both increase the use of organic fertilizers and improve and protect the environment. It is expected that organic and inorganic compound fertilizers in the 21st century will be dominated by organic fertilizers (more than 70% organic matter), and a small amount of inorganic fertilizers will be transported to areas where organic fertilizer resources are concentrated to be modulated to regulate nitrogen and phosphorus in organic fertilizers. The potassium ratio increases or increases the available nitrogen in organic fertilizers. It is predicted that the application amount of organic fertilizer will gradually increase in the 21st century.
The third is to effectively control the release of fertilizers. In the future, chemical fertilizers will not only develop in the direction of high concentration and high quality, but also develop in the direction of high efficiency (high utilization rate), energy saving, and composite (multi-functional compounding). High-efficiency fertilizer is one of the internationally recognized directions for fertilizer development in the 21st century. The main development direction of high-efficiency fertilizer is the production of slow-release and controlled-release fertilizers and fertilizers and foliar fertilizers that incorporate nitrification inhibitors or urease inhibitors. 'Energy-saving' fertilizer not only means lower production costs of chemical fertilizers, but also enhances competitiveness. More importantly, it saves resources and is conducive to sustainable development. The rate of dissolution of high-quality, high-quality fertilizers and the release rate of nutrients can be controlled, thus maximizing fertilizer utilization. The developed countries in the world have used controlled release fertilizers in large quantities, and the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers has reached more than 60%. Therefore, there is a vast market space for efficient, high-quality controlled release fertilizers.
