Features: Fertilization plays a significant role in agricultural production. It is an effective and necessary measure to increase the yield per unit area of crops and improve product quality. The vast majority of farmers in China have a profound understanding of the role of fertilizers in agricultural production. As the saying goes, "A good crop depends on fertilizer," and "Whether there is a harvest or not depends on water, but how much is harvested depends on fertilizer." These all illustrate the importance of fertilizers. However, to fully leverage the yield-enhancing effects of fertilizers, it is essential to practice rational fertilization. Yet, at present, rural areas are far from achieving this, primarily because farmers lack basic knowledge of scientific fertilization, especially regarding new fertilization techniques and recent research findings in this field. Many people are eager to learn about this knowledge. Therefore, based on relevant materials from various sources and our personal experiences, we have written this book in an accessible manner to facilitate targeted learning and application according to individual needs. The book emphasizes practicality while also covering necessary principles. Each topic is independent yet interconnected. This book is suitable for, rural cadres, and general agricultural technicians with a minimum of junior high school education. It can also serve as a reference for agricultural colleges and middle schools.
