Due to the relatively simple production process of water-soluble fertilizers and the fact that the products are mostly fully water-soluble, the production and use of the products are more in line with the requirements of agricultural green economy development. By analyzing the issues of concern for the development of agricultural green economy and the advantages and disadvantages of water-soluble fertilizer products, the impact of water-soluble fertilizers on the development of agricultural green economy is discussed. With the continuous innovation and development of agricultural production technology in China, the product market is becoming more standardized and orderly, and the development prospects of water-soluble fertilizers in agricultural production in China will become broader..

ZHANG Huning, YIN Yiran, JING Jianyuan, XU Gang, YE Xinxin, XIONG Qizhong, and LI Hongying
To investigate the effects of straw incorporation combined with different water management practices on phosphorus availability in paddy soils, and to elucidate the correlations between transformation of soil available phosphorus forms and soluble organic carbon content and Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio in soil, an indoor simulated To investigate the effects of straw incorporation combined with different water management practices on phosphorus availability in paddy soils, and to elucidate the correlations between transformation of soil available phosphorus forms and soluble organic carbon content and Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio in soil, an indoor simulated cultivation experiment is conducted. Six treatments are designed: flooding (W1), drought (W2), alternate wetting and drying (W3), flooding + straw incorporation (W1+S), drought+straw incorporation (W2+S), and alternate wetting and drying+straw incorporation (W3+S). Changes in soil available phosphorus forms, content, and fractions are analyzed during different stages of straw decomposition. The results show that straw incorporation significantly increases soil available phosphorus content, with W1+S showing the highest levels, while W2 and W3 exhibited lower values. Flooding can fully release soluble organic carbon in soil after adding straw, with W1+S achieving the highest soluble organic carbon content and W2 the lowest. A highly significant positive correlation is observed between soluble organic carbon content and available phosphorus content. Under flooding with straw incorporation, the Fe3+ from Fe-P in soil is reduced to Fe2+, accompanied by H+ release, leading to a 0.48 pH decrease compared to W1, and promotes the transformation of Ca10-P into more Ca2-P and Ca8-P in soil, significantly increasing their proportions while reducing Fe-P. Straw incorporation under flooding conditions effectively enhances phosphorus availability in paddy soils..

Cotton emergence rate, agronomic traits, yield characteristics, and soil physicochemical properties before and after cultivation are measured. The results show that compared with CK, the T-type humic acid amendment at 400 kg/mu increases cotton emergence rate, plant height, main stem leaf number, leaf area, and seed cotton yield by 32.0%, 17.7%, 18.5%, 27.0%, and 43.5%, respectively. All three amendments effectively reduced soil pH and total salt content, while significantly enhancing soil organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available potassium, Mg2+, and Ca2+ contents, and decreasing Na+ and Cl- levels. Soil organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium contents increased with higher amendment application rates. All three amendments improved cotton growth and ameliorated saline-alkali soils, with the T-type exhibiting the most pronounced effects..

The treatments include traditional flood irrigation as the control (CK) and five integrated water and fertilizer treatments with top dressing frequencies of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 times (T1-T5). The effects on wheat population density, yield components, and economic benefits are evaluated. The results show that the pre-winter population density of wheat under CK is significantly higher than that of T1-T5, while post-winter population density of wheat in T1-T5 is significantly higher than CK. Yield components in T1-T5 outperform CK, though thousand-grain weight shows no significant differences. T3 achieves the highest spike number per mu (9.4% increase over CK), T5 exhibits the maximum grains per spike (10.6% increase over CK), and T4 delivers the highest theoretical yield (16.9% increase over CK) and net profit (12.6% increase over CK). Under experimental conditions, four top dressing applications under integrated water and fertilizer management prove optimal for wheat production..

The experiment included five treatments: conventional fertilization control (CK), common urea (T1), common urea+0.3% (mass fraction, the same below) nano magnesium hydroxide (T2), common urea+0.4% nano magnesium hydroxide (T3), and common urea reduced application of 20%+0.3% nano magnesium hydroxide (T4). The results show that the yield of winter wheat treated with the mixture of common urea and nano magnesium hydroxide is higher than that treated with CK. When the amount of nano magnesium hydroxide added is the same, the yield of winter wheat increases with the increase of common urea application. At the same application rate of common urea, the yield of winter wheat does not increase with the increase of nano magnesium hydroxide addition, indicating that adding 0.3% nano magnesium hydroxide is suitable in this region. There is no significant difference in wheat yield between T4 treatment and T1 treatment, indicating that the mixture of common urea and nano magnesium hydroxide can reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied. Compared with CK and T1 treatments, the blending of common urea and nano magnesium hydroxide reduced the nitrate nitrogen content in the 0-100 cm soil to varying degrees..

The experiment used pure sulfur based compound fertilizer treatment as the control (CK). The sulfur to chlorine ratios of the compound fertilizers in T1-T6 treatments are 1.5∶1, 2.5∶1, 3.5∶1, 4.5∶1, 5.5∶1, and 6.5∶1, respectively. The plant height, stem diameter, chlorophyll relative content (SPAD value), aboveground fresh weight, single potato weight, and quality of potatoes are measured. The results show that compared with CK treatment, when the sulfur chlorine ratio is greater than 2.5∶1, it has a promoting effect on potato plant height, stem thickness, SPAD value, aboveground fresh weight, single potato weight, and quality indicators. Under experimental conditions, T2 treatment has an ideal effect on promoting the growth and development of potatoes..

Modified PASP features lengthened molecular side chains and an increased number of chelating groups, leading to superior performance in agricultural production. Field experiments show that application of fertilizer containing modified PASP significantly increases both yield and economic benefits of the three major staple crops: rice, maize, and wheat. Among them, rice has a yield increase exceeding 12.15% and a net benefit increase of over 255.09 yuan/mu (1 mu = 667 m2); Maize has a 10.40% yield increase under a 20% reduction in fertilizer input; Wheat shows a 16.65% yield increase and a net benefit increase of 222.83 yuan/mu.

An experimental study is conducted on the influence of sample particle size, moisture content, sample weight, and measurement conditions on the determination of organic matter content in weathered coal from Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. The results show that after crushing weathered coal through a 0.200 mm sieve and drying to an air dry state, controlling the sample weight to 0.1-0.2 g (organic carbon mass ≤ 80 mg) and shaking the triangular flask every 5 minutes during the oxidation process can accurately determine the organic matter content in weathered coal. The maximum absolute difference of parallel measurement results is ≤ 0.7%, which meets the requirements of NY/T 525—2021, and the organic matter mass fraction measured by the improved method is 7.9% to 9.1% higher than that measured by the method in NY/T 525—2021, indicating that the improved method has a more complete oxidation of organic matter in weathered coal..
