I. The Overlooked “Soil Condition”: Why Is Fertilization Becoming Less Effective? In many agricultural regions, farmers are not lacking in fertilization experience. Decisions such as when to apply nitrogen, when to supplement potassium, or when to add micronutrients are often based on long-established practices. However, in reality, many fields show no corresponding improvement in crop performance despite increasing fertilizer inputs year after year. Instead, problems such as greater yield...

In 2025, China’s fertilizer imports and exports showed a clear pattern of strong growth in export volumes and values, alongside a slight decline in imports. Urea exports recorded particularly sharp growth, while phosphate fertilizer exports continued to contract. Domestic policy priorities focused on securing internal supply had a profound impact on the global phosphate fertilizer market structure. Looking ahead to 2026, the global phosphate fertilizer supply outlook is broadly positive,...

I. Why Is Magnesium Essential in Aquaculture? In aquaculture practice, many production problems do not originate directly from diseases, but from more fundamental and often overlooked factors—imbalances in waterborne minerals. Issues such as failed molting in crustaceans, increased mortality after stress events, unstable water quality, and disrupted algal communities are frequently linked to deficiencies or improper ratios of basic ions such as magnesium in the culture water. Magnesium...
