Features: China is a country with a large population but relatively insufficient arable land resources. Agricultural production relies on increasing unit yield, and the application of fertilizers plays a crucial role in improving crop unit yield. For a long time, indiscriminate fertilizer application has been a serious issue in rural areas of China. This not only increases agricultural production costs but also leads to severe environmental pollution, threatens the quality and safety of agricultural products, and hinders further improvements in agricultural output. Soil testing and formula fertilization is a highly technical task. To enhance the adoption and implementation of soil testing and formula fertilization technology, help accurately master the knowledge and skills of soil testing and formula fertilization, and promote the further development of soil testing and formula fertilization activities, the Planting Industry Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and National Agricultural Extension and Technology Service have organized the compilation of this book, "Soil Testing and Formula Fertilization Technology Q&A." This book, in the form of questions and answers, focuses on introducing fundamental scientific fertilization knowledge, including soil and plant sample collection and preparation, sample testing, fertilizer formula design, nutrient requirements of major crops, fertilizer characteristics and usage, etc. It holds significant importance for guiding soil testing and formula fertilization work. I am willing to recommend this book to and agricultural science workers, especially agricultural extension personnel and farmer technicians, to contribute to the "high quality, high yield, and high efficiency" and sustainable development of agriculture.
