Fujian Province Fertilizer Quality Sampling Rate 92%

In 2013, the Fujian Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce organized data on special supervision and inspection of chemical fertilizers in circulation in our province. It showed that the overall quality of fertilizers in circulation was good in 2013, with a pass rate of 92%. However, there are still 8% of Fertilizer products with different degrees of problems. .

The reporter learned that this time spotted 50 chemical fertilizer samples sold by 25 wholesale and retail units of agricultural materials in Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and four chemical fertilizer varieties (compound fertilizer, compound superphosphate, superphosphate, organic fertilizer, calcium and magnesium). Phosphorus fertilizers, involving 42 production enterprises in 30 cities including 13 provinces in Fujian, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei, resulted in 46 samples being qualified, with a pass rate of 92%.

The main problem with substandard quality of compound fertilizers in the spot inspection was insufficient potassium content. If the available phosphorus content is insufficient, potassium can make the cereal crops full of seeds, etc. Phosphorus can promote the formation and growth of early root systems and is essential for seed formation. The major problems with organic fertilizers are the lack of organic content and the non-standard external labeling.

The Consumer Council Selects Chemical Fertilizers According to the result of this chemical spot check, the Fujian Provincial Consumer Council reminds farmers to pay attention to the following aspects when purchasing chemical fertilizers:

1, see the packaging. Fertilizer packaging is fiber woven packaging, high-concentration fertilizer or unit fertilizer should be lined with polyethylene film bag to prevent moisture absorption. The packaging bag should have clearly marked and trademarked logos and product ingredients, such as total nutrients in fertilizers, available phosphorus and potassium in total nitrogen, and whether or not it contains chlorine, grading standards and moisture content, related elements other than this element, and other substances. The content, weight and weight error, production license number, product name, imported product shall be marked with the contract number and the name of the importing company, product certification, quality implementation standards, the manufacturer's site and contact phone number, and if necessary, indicate the quality assurance Required storage conditions.

2. Don't look at "big" or "small". Some products are marked with brand names in order to show off the selling points, and to check with the supervision department, the substance is marked in small print. For example, "Russia" is marked with large characters, "used", "raw materials", etc. are marked in small letters to make people mistakenly recognize imported products; others are marked with "**potassium" in a conspicuous position and are inconspicuous. The place contains "chlorine" to achieve the purpose of disturbing audiovisual.

3, smell the smell. Different fertilizers have different odors. Such as ammonium bicarbonate with ammonia taste; urea is an odorless granular material, there should be no ammonia; compound fertilizer should be slightly sour, on the hand after the mouth with the mouth after the observation of the breath should be released deliquescence; superphosphate should be slightly With sour, there should be no pungent odor;

4, do not covet small cheap, regardless of quality, buy fake and bad fertilizer, so as to avoid unnecessary losses.

5, to preserve the rights. Due to the timeliness of chemical fertilizers, quality problems are often found after use for a long time. Therefore, consumers should ask for a ticket at the time of purchase and keep it well. In case of fake and shoddy goods, they should promptly report to the local agricultural authorities and technical supervision. Departments, industry and commerce departments or the Consumer Council report or report complaints.
