Why has chemical fertilizer off-season storage decreased for the first time?
Since China established the commercial off-season storage system for chemical fertilizer in 2004, the volume of off-season chemical fertilizer storage had only increased and never decreased, rising from 800 million tons at the beginning to 1800 million tons in 2013, with an average annual growth of 125%. However, this year the volume of off-season chemical fertilizer storage fell for the first time. In this round, storage enterprises with an off-season chemical fertilizer storage volume of 50000 tons or less made no change, those with 100000 to 200000 tons reduced their contracted storage volume by 20%, and those with more than 200000 tons reduced their contracted storage volume by 25%.

Why does reducing fertilizer use and increasing efficiency in agriculture not affect food security?
Chemical fertilizers have made an indelible contribution to China's consecutive years of agricultural harvests, but as chemical fertilizer use in China has increased, its efficiency in boosting crop yields has been declining, and it has even brought impacts on the ecological environment. In fact, reducing fertilizer use, especially for cash crops such as vegetables and fruits,

Celery fertilizer reduction verification trial completed in Fangshan District, Beijing
In the process of protected vegetable cultivation, fertilizer input is relatively high, and old vegetable fields commonly have the problem of excessive nutrient accumulation. In order to guide base farmers to reasonably reduce fertilizer application, this trial was carried out. The trial selected a greenhouse with relatively high fertility at the base for a celery fertilizer reduction verification trial, with a total of
