On August 27, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a number of industry standards in the chemical sector; among them, 6 standards related to new types of fertilizers will come into effect on January 1, 2020. http://my.fert.cn/attached/image/20190828/20190828201506_609.jpg Since the former Ministry of Agriculture proposed a zero-growth target for fertilizer usage in 2015, and especially after the State Council issued the \"Opinions on Innovating Institutional Mechanisms to Promote Green Agricultural Development\" in 2017, adding functional enhancers to traditional fertilizers has become an important approach in the fertilizer industry for developing new types of fertilizers aimed at promoting green agricultural development. The industry standards for \"Ammonium phosphate containing humic acid, diammonium phosphate,\" \"Ammonium phosphate containing alginic acid, diammonium phosphate,\" \"Compound fertilizers containing urea sulfate,\" \"Polymer-coated urea,\" \"Polymer-sulfur coated urea,\" and \"Fertilizers containing efficiency-retaining agents\" will provide standard support for the standardized development of these 6 types of new fertilizers. This time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also issued industry standards for fertilizer anti-caking agents, which will come into effect on January 1, 2020. http://my.fert.cn/attached/image/20190828/20190828201536_490.jpg In addition, as of September 1, 2019, 4 testing method standards related to fertilizers came into effect. These 4 agricultural industry standards were issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in January 2019, and they relate to the determination of the contents of chromium, arsenic, fluorine, and DMPP additives in fertilizers.
