On August 28, the seminar on the promulgation and implementation of international standards for urea formaldehyde slow release fertilizers, jointly sponsored by Shanghai Institute of chemical industry and National Engineering Technology Research Center for slow and controlled release fertilizers, was held in Beijing.
The international standard of urea formaldehyde slow-release fertilizer was established by Jinzhengda group and Shanghai Chemical Research Institute. Liu Gang, convener of the standard and director of the testing center of Shanghai Research Institute of chemical industry, said that the international standard for urea formaldehyde slow-release fertilizer has gone through nearly four years. From the submission of relevant standard materials in September 2013 to the voting in January 2017, the international organization for standardization officially released the standard in March 2017 and officially promulgated it in May this year. In this long process, from query to surprise, and then to praise, China's fertilizer technology has gradually been recognized by international fertilizer peers. Liu Gang stressed that it is hoped that more enterprises and scientific research institutes will participate in the formulation of fertilizer standards and further improve the standard system to lead the development of fertilizer industry.
Liu Gang said that many foreign scientific research institutions and enterprises have little understanding of China's fertilizer products and technologies, and even have historical bias. The process of formulating international standards is a process in which we constantly demonstrate the technology and manufacturing capacity of China's fertilizer industry to the world through a large number of experimental data and examples.
Zhong Luquan, director of the farming and fertilizer Department of the Department of crop management of the Ministry of agriculture, said that leading the formulation of international standards marked the improvement of China's fertilizer industry's voice and leading position in the international market, which should be proud of by the industry. The formulation of international standards also reflects the good trend of the whole fertilizer industry in the process of transformation and upgrading, focusing on service technology innovation and product technology innovation at the same time. To promote the development of new fertilizers through the formulation of standards is also an important measure in line with the structural reform of agricultural supply side and the green development of agriculture. Whether the fertilizer industry can adapt to the changes of agricultural production mode, management mode and development concept is very important to the supply side structural reform of fertilizer industry.
Wang Liqing, Secretary General of China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, said that urea formaldehyde slow-release fertilizer is closely related to the nitrogen fertilizer industry, and the release of its international standards is just at the right time. At present, due to the fierce competition in the single urea market, domestic urea has no cost advantage, so enterprises need to have differentiated products to seize the international market. At the same time, the standard is also the key to improve the quality of nitrogen fertilizer, especially urea formaldehyde slow-release fertilizer has high particle strength, is not easy to be broken, no dust, reduces hardening, and is convenient for mechanical fertilization, which plays a good role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of China's nitrogen fertilizer and going out.
Chen Hongkun, executive deputy director of national slow and controlled release fertilizer engineering technology research center and vice president of Jinzhengda group, said that urea formaldehyde slow-release fertilizer is a variety of slow-release fertilizer. Although it is a small industry, the formulation of its international standards is of great significance. On the one hand, the implementation of the standard has a positive impact on improving fertilizer utilization rate, protecting soil ecological environment and improving the quality and safety of agricultural products. One belt, one road, one way, is to speed up the transformation of fertilizer industry. Class pace.
As the world's largest producer of slow and controlled-release fertilizers, Jinzhengda has been committed to the technical innovation and large-scale production and application of slow-release fertilizers, and attaches great importance to the formulation and application of standards. It has undertaken and participated in the formulation of 19 kinds of standards successively, and participated in the formulation of international standards for controlled-release fertilizers and urea formaldehyde slow-release fertilizers in 2016 and 2017. With the promulgation and implementation of two international standards for slow and controlled release fertilizers, the influence and discourse power of China's fertilizer industry in the world have been greatly enhanced.
