What are the technical paths for reducing chemical fertilizer use and increasing its efficiency?
On March 17 this year, the Ministry of Agriculture proposed striving to achieve zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on major crops by 2020. The key to achieving this goal is to grasp well the "precision, adjustment, improvement and substitution": advancing precision fertilization, adjusting the structure of chemical fertilizer application, improving fertilization methods

Building modern ecological agriculture around the "one control, two reductions, three basics"
On April 16-17, the 2015 Modern Ecological Agriculture Base Agricultural Cleaner Production Technology Trial and Demonstration Project was launched in Beijing. This year it is mainly being implemented in 13 provinces (regions, municipalities) including Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningbo, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Guangdong, Chongqing, Guizhou, Gansu, Jiangsu and Anhui.

A compensation mechanism for large-scale crop yield reduction and total crop failure urgently needs to be established
According to the appraisal, the important reason nearly 10,000 mu of rice in Anhui suffered yield reduction and total crop failure was extreme weather. Although all parties discussed relief plans to reduce farmers' losses, this incident reflects that China's agriculture still has the weak point of depending on the weather, and unpredictable factors leading to large-scale yield reduction

Rising Temperatures Reduce Wheat Yields: It Is Not Too Late to Breed New Varieties
If adaptive measures are not taken, for every 1°C rise in temperature in the future, global wheat production could fall by 6%, which would cause a worldwide reduction of 42 million tonnes, equivalent to 1/4 of the current global wheat trade volume. In feeding the global population, wheat plays

Pest and disease prevention and control reduce disasters and losses, boosting the eleventh consecutive increase in grain output
Drought breeds insects, damp breeds disease; the climate is unpredictable, and pests and diseases occur every year. This year's climate changes have caused biological disasters such as pests and diseases to occur frequently and severely. Agricultural departments at all levels, with a high degree of self-awareness and firm confidence, have never relaxed their grip on pest and disease prevention and control, snatching grain from the mouths of insects to ensure a bumper harvest

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%.

Reducing grain loss equals increasing production, and the potential for saving grain is enormous
In recent years, China has continuously raised its overall grain production capacity through various measures, achieving bumper harvests year after year. However, post-harvest grain loss and waste in China is enormous, with annual grain waste approaching 6% of total annual output, which has become a negative factor that cannot be ignored in safeguarding food security.

New mechanism for saving grain and reducing losses to be established, China strives to reduce grain loss and waste
On the occasion of the upcoming 34th World Food Day and the 24th National Grain Love and Grain Saving Publicity Week, the State Administration of Grain, at a press briefing held jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments, stated that China will vigorously promote the establishment of a new mechanism for saving grain and reducing losses featuring government leadership, demand-driven orientation, participation of all citizens, and coordinated social
