At the China-Europe Natural Solutions Liquid Special Fertilizer Forum held on March 18, 2024, Professor Chen Qing of China Agricultural University discussed the types and benefits of liquid fertilizers. He highlighted the problems caused by excessive fertilizer use in China and emphasized the effectiveness of health-friendly, functional, and organic water-soluble fertilizers. Looking ahead, he noted that the fertilizer industry is trending towards organic substitution, efficiency improvement, and intelligent, precise fertilization management.

The Director of the Water-Saving Agricultural Technology Division emphasized at the fertilizer forum on March 18, 2024, that seeds, farmland, and water are central to agriculture, with water being crucial for increasing grain yields. Integrated water and fertilizer technology in Xinjiang has freed up farmland for other crops, enhancing agricultural efficiency. Addressing the shortcomings in irrigation and fertilization, this technology is now a standard in modern and facility agriculture, significantly improving production.
