  Industry standards for fertilizers are once again attracting attention. Recently, reporters learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that six fertilizer industry standards officially came into effect on April 1 this year, including six fertilizer products: humic acid urea, humic acid compound fertilizer, seaweed acid urea, seaweed fertilizer, water-soluble monoammonium phosphate, and fertilizer-grade potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

  It is understood that humic acid, seaweed acid, and amino acid and other bioactive substances are fertilizer efficiency-enhancing carriers. They are all natural substances or plant-derived, and not only can they improve fertilizer utilization, but they are also safe and environmentally friendly. Modified and efficiency-enhancing products produced by adding the above-mentioned bioactive efficiency-enhancing carriers to fertilizers are usually called value-added fertilizers.

  As a transformation and upgrading roadmap for the fertilizer industry during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed in the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Transformation and Development of the Fertilizer Industry" the development of new value-added fertilizer products such as humic acid, seaweed acid, and amino acid.

  "Under the dual pressure of grain yield increase and environmental protection, vigorously developing new and efficient value-added fertilizer technologies provides important technological support for implementing the national strategy of reducing fertilizer use and increasing efficiency, replacing the quantity of chemical fertilizers with quality, and implementing a zero-growth strategy for chemical fertilizers." Zhao Bingqiang, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and secretary-general of the Chemical Fertilizer Value-Added Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, told a reporter from "Science and Technology Daily".
