A Science-Based Nutrient Strategy to Overcome Quality and Yield Challenges in Winter Tomato Production Tomato is one of the most widely cultivated and highly commercialized vegetable crops worldwide. Combining high nutritional value with stable market demand, it plays a central role in protected agriculture and off-season production systems. In relatively warm regions such as subtropical and tropical areas, winter tomato production benefits from off-season market windows and

Among the 17 essential nutrients required by plants, magnesium occupies a uniquely critical position . It is not only the only metallic element in the chlorophyll molecule , but also a key activator of plant energy metabolism . For modern agriculture—especially the cultivation of high-value cash crops—understanding the fundamental role of magnesium and mastering its efficient supplementation strategies is indispensable for achieving both high yield and premium quality. The Fi

From January to November 2025, China’s fertilizer imports and exports showed a clear pattern of rising export volumes and prices alongside a slight decline in imports. Toward year-end (mid-December), the market centered on three main themes: policy-driven price stability and supply assurance for phosphate fertilizers, supply–demand tug-of-war in the potash market, and policy regulation of upstream raw materials. Phosphate rock, sulfur, and sulfuric acid exhibited divergent tr

Many tomato growers have experienced this common challenge: abundant flowering during the blooming stage, yet after a cold snap or strong wind, flowers drop heavily, resulting in poor fruit set. Even when fruits do set, misshapen or undersized fruits are frequent, significantly reducing yield and market quality. In fact, the flowering stage is the critical window that determines final tomato yield. During this period, plant demand for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) rises sh

In modern precision viticulture, Monopotassium Phosphate (0-52-34) has evolved from a supplementary foliar fertilizer into a central “physiological regulator”  applied across the entire grape growth cycle. Its value extends far beyond supplying phosphorus and potassium. What truly elevates MKP is its unique scientific profile—high solubility, pure nutrient forms, and synergistic absorption—which allows it to precisely activate photosynthesis, stress resistance, and quality f

In the “nutrient supply system” of agricultural production, potash fertilizers play an irreplaceable role as “energy regulators,” directly influencing crop growth vigor, stress resistance, and final yield. Among the many potash fertilizer types, potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄) stand out as the two dominant forms. The two are closely related yet differ in their characteristics and application scenarios. This article explores their intrinsic connection, a

I. Import and Export Overview (January–September / September 2025) According to preliminary statistics from China Customs, in the first three quarters of 2025, China’s fertilizer trade showed a trend of “rising exports in both volume and value” and “declining imports in both volume and value.” Export growth in September alone was particularly significant. Detailed data are shown in the table below: Indicator Period Quantity (10,000 tons) Value (USD billion) YoY Change Other K
