With the recognition of farmers for water-soluble fertilizers with a large number of elements in powder, there are many manufacturers, and the competition pressure of enterprises is huge. Now they are facing two major pain points:1. The prices of industrial-grade monoammonium phosphate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, two major raw materials for phosphorus, remain high. Moreover, due to the explosive demand for phosphorus in the new energy industry, industrial-grade monoammonium phosphate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate will be at a high level in the short term. 2...

Although about 80% of the nitrogen in the air can not be directly used by ordinary plants, peanuts,but soybeans, alfalfa and other leguminous plants can only convert the molecular nitrogen in the air into ammonia nitrogen that can be used by plants through symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia. After the seeds germinate and take root, rhizobia invade the roots from the root hairs. Under certain conditions, they form nodules with nitrogen fixing ability. Under the action of nitrogen fixing enzymes, the bacteroids in the nodules convert molecular nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen. At the same time, each nodule is a miniature nitrogen fertilizer plant, which continuously delivers nitrogen to plants for utilization...

Soybean rhizobia (Latin name: Bradyrhizobium japonicum) are in the family bradyrhizobiaceae, the genus of soybean rhizobia. Rhizobia in soybean are live microbial agents rhizobia inside root nodules have mutually beneficial symbioses with legumes: organic matter that legumes make by photosynthesis, supplied in part to rhizobia; Rhizobia, which make ammonia through biological nitrogen fixation, then feed legumes. Rhizobium invades the roots of the host, stimulating some cells of the root cortex and the central column sheath, causing the strong growth of these cells, causing local enlargement of the roots to form nodules; Rhizobium settles in the roots, and plants supply Rhizobium with mineral nutrients and energy Rhizobium fixes the free nitrogen in the atmosphere and provides nitrogen nutrients for the plants. The two are in equilibrium in the antagonistic parasitic relationship and exhibit symbiosis. Rhizobia belong to symbiotic nitrogen fixation, nitrogen fixation efficiency is the highestBenefits Increase production and efficiencyAccording to the field demonstration results, the application of rhizobia in soybean can increase the soybean yield by more than 10%, the protein content of soybean can be increased by 2%, the crude fat content can be increased by 1-2%...
