"According to a recent report, China plans to further promote the adoption of advanced irrigation and fertilization technologies, and will also apply for special projects focused on water-saving agricultural innovations," stated Xia Jingyuan, director of the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center under the Ministry of Agriculture. This announcement was made during the International Seminar on Fertilization Strategy, which highlighted the urgent need for more sustainable farming practices.
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of fertilizers, using over 44 million tons annually. However, research from the College of Resources and Environment at China Agricultural University estimates that only 25% to 30% of these fertilizers are actually utilized by crops. The rest is wasted and contributes significantly to environmental pollution, affecting soil quality and water sources.
In addition to fertilizer inefficiency, China faces severe water shortages. In normal years, agriculture experiences a deficit of over 3 billion cubic meters of water. According to official estimates, the average efficiency of irrigation in China is just 43%, and the agricultural output per cubic meter of water is only 0.83 kg—30% below the global average.
Experts emphasize that improving the efficiency of both water and fertilizer use is one of the most pressing challenges facing Chinese agriculture. Among the best solutions available globally is fertigation technology—a modern approach that combines irrigation with nutrient delivery. This method allows for precise control of water and fertilizer application, leading to higher crop yields, better quality, and reduced environmental impact. By integrating these two resources efficiently, fertigation not only maximizes resource use but also helps protect the environment for future generations.
Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(IV) oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula TiO2. When used as a pigment, it is called titanium white, Pigment White 6 (PW6), or CI 77891. Generally it is sourced from ilmenite, rutile and anatase. It has a wide range of applications, from paint to sunscreen to food coloring. When used as a food coloring, it has E number E171. World production in 2014 exceeded 9 million metric tons.
