Biostimulators - The Gospel of Organic Agriculture

Biostimulators - The Gospel of Organic Agriculture


In recent years, biological stimulant products represented by humic acid, alginic acid, amino acids, chitin, fish protein, etc., are gradually moving from Europe and the United States to China, and are increasingly popularized and popularized in China, and are gradually being more and more Growers know and accept. The data shows that the market for biostimulators grows steadily at a rate of over 10% per year. Such products have attracted the attention of the giants of the international agrochemical industry, and have also become a blue ocean of agricultural resources that domestic agricultural production companies compete for. However, issues such as ambiguous identification, product variations, and lack of industry norms and standards still exist. Recently, the China Biostimulants Development Alliance and the China Chemical Industry Promotion Association jointly held the 2017 International Biostimulant and Fertilizer Enhancement (Value Added) Application Forum in Shanghai. Experts and scholars attending the conference and entrepreneurs discussed various aspects of biostimulants.

The latest generation of liquid boron fertilizer in the United States - Meng Bao,

Adding special additives can significantly improve the poor pollination and fertilization caused by boron deficiency.

Treatment of plants "flowers but not real, not fruit, fruit shattering fruit, fruit deformity, thin spikes and dilute."

There is no clear definition and multiple efficacy has been recognized

What is a biostimulant? In fact, there is no clear and unified definition for this. In reality, biostimulants have been given a variety of different titles: plant growth promoters, bioactive agents, soil amendments, growth regulators ... "In fact, these terms only reflect one aspect of biostimulants. The efficacy cannot be accurately defined.” Dr. Shang Zhaocong, deputy director of the National Standardization Committee for Fertilizer and Soil Conditioners, said that there are eight major categories of bio-stimulants, including humic acids, complex organic materials, beneficial chemical elements, and inorganic salts. (including phosphites), seaweed extracts, chitin and chitosan derivatives, anti-transpiration agents, free amino acids and other nitrogenous substances.

100% water-soluble without impurities, more than 90% utilization,

Contains three forms of nitrogen, both quick and long-acting.

With the zero-growth action plan for the use of pesticides and fertilizers and the continuous improvement of consumers' pursuit of quality of agricultural products, bio-stimulants that are naturally sourced and have the effect of increasing the yield and quality of crops just meet the needs of the times. Despite the lack of a clear definition, the multi-effects of biostimulants have been beyond doubt by virtue of the effectiveness of the application over the years.

Professor Chen Qing of the College of Resources and Environment of China Agricultural University stated that for a long time, the cropping industry has been intensified, the multiple cropping index is high, and the species is monotonous. As a result, crop continuous cropping obstacles have become larger. Agricultural production has long relied on chemical fertilizers, and blind fertilization has led to soil acidification. Problems such as salinization and soil biology obstacles, thus inhibiting the growth of crop roots, reducing the ability of roots to absorb nutrients, and thus affecting crop growth and development. "The root-stimulating and stress-resisting effects of bio-stimulants can increase the effectiveness of nutrients and water, promote the absorption, operation, and use of crop nutrients, increase their resistance to disease, increase the availability of pesticides and fertilizers, and improve the quality of agricultural products. Attributes."

Shao Jiahua, executive vice chairman of the China Biostimulant Development Alliance, also holds a similar view: “Biostimulants can effectively remove nitrogen, decompose phosphorus, and fix potassium, supplement short and trace elements in trace elements, increase the utilization of fertilizers and pesticides, and improve and restore soils. The resistance of crops to biological and abiotic stresses promotes crop growth and increases yield.” Experimental data show that crop yields using biostimulants have a minimum increase of 5% to 10%, and fertilizer use efficiency increases by at least 5%. Consumption can be reduced by 5% to 10%.

The United States wisely applies a large amount of water-soluble fertilizers to the company.

Select three recipes that meet the nutrient absorption characteristics of fruit trees in each period.

A fertilization can add more than a dozen trace elements, safe, efficient, and less.

“Although biostimulators are the latest concept of agriculture in the world, humic acid, seaweed fertilizers, amino acids, and other products belonging to biostimulators have long been used as synergists for new fertilizers or compound fertilizers, and they have a lot of agricultural production. The application has achieved remarkable results,” said Ma Chunyan, vice president of the Chemical Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. “Biostimulators have the miraculous effect of boosting crop yields and quality.”

Ma Chunyan believes that with the improvement of people’s living standards, more high-quality products are needed, and organic agriculture has become more popular among people. Biostimulators are considered as organic agriculture due to their organic origin and non-toxicity to the environment. Gospel. “Especially after the Ministry of Agriculture proposed the “Action Plan for the Zero Growth of Chemical Fertilizer and Pesticide Use by 2020,” biostimulator products will become the darling of major manufacturers competing for R&D and landing.”

Shao Jiahua worriedly pointed out that chemical fertilizers have made tremendous contributions to the development of China's agriculture over the past 30 years. However, problems such as soil acidification and nutrient imbalance caused by over-application of fertilizers and unbalanced fertilizer structure have become increasingly serious. Today, China's arable land fertilization level is 4 percent of the world average. Many times, not only threaten food safety, pollute the soil environment, but also cause huge waste of resources. "Biostimulants can contribute to improving and rehabilitating soils, promoting chemical fertilizers, and adding value."

Chen Shaorong, chief bioscientist of the China Biostimulants Development Alliance, pointed out that the fundamental way to develop and upgrade China's bio-stimulant industry lies in the direction of multi-functionalization. Various bio-stimulant raw material products or simple processed products are applied to specific production processes. To carry out compounding and innovation, increase product functionality, increase product science and technology content and cost-effectiveness, and solve problems for growers that restrict high yields and quality of crops and deal with biological stress and abiotic stress. "High-tech multi-functional bio-stimulant products will surely become high-tech in the field of fertilizers in China, and will play an increasingly important role in promoting the zero-growth use of fertilizers and pesticides."
