Soil pollution and degradation problems are becoming increasingly prominent, and the market demand for soil conditioners is vast.

Soil conditioner, also known as soil improver, refers to a material that can improve the physical properties of the soil and promote crop nutrient absorption, but does not itself provide plant nutrients. There are various types of soil conditioners. According to different materials, they can be divided into mineral soil conditioners such as peat, lignite, and weathered coal, and natural and semi-synthetic water-soluble polymer soil conditioners such as cellulose materials, lignin materials, and resin gum materials. Agents, synthetic polymer soil conditioners such as polyacrylic acid and polyvinyl alcohol, and beneficial microbial soil conditioners such as seaweed extracts and humic acid fertilizers; according to different functions, they can be divided into moisture regulators, acidic Soil conditioner, structural conditioner, saline-alkali soil conditioner, heavy metal pollution remediation agent, etc.

Soil conditioners are important tools needed in agriculture, forestry, urban greening, landscaping and other fields. In the agricultural field, they can effectively improve soil fertility and water retention, and increase crop production; in the forestry field, they can play a role in increasing crop yields. Improve forest soil fertility, thereby promoting the formation of forest ecological stability.

In recent years, as the domestic soil development and utilization process continues to accelerate, the problems of soil pollution, acidification, alkalization, and degradation have become increasingly prominent, seriously limiting soil productivity. In this context, as an effective way to improve soil physical and chemical properties and supplement soil The importance of nutrients and soil conditioners that adjust the structure of soil microbial communities has become increasingly prominent, and the market scale continues to expand.

In 2022, there will be more than 300 serious soil pollution areas in our country, and the contaminated area will exceed 5.5 million hectares; the area of ​​soil contaminated areas will be about 35 million hectares. At present, soil pollution control has become an area of ​​national focus and development. Against this background, The demand for soil conditioners in my country continues to increase. According to the“2023-2028 Soil Conditioner Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that the domestic soil conditioner market size will reach 3.77 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 16.9%.

In addition to demand, the development of the domestic soil conditioner industry is also strongly supported by national policies. For example, in May 2021, the state issued the “Notice on Implementing Agricultural Production Development and Other Projects in 2021” which proposed that acidification of cultivated land and salt In areas with severe alkalinization, measures such as the application of soil conditioners, returning green manure to fields, farming to suppress salt, and increasing the application of organic fertilizers should be integrated and promoted; in February 2022, the country issued the “14th Five-Year Plan for Promoting Agricultural and Rural Modernization Plan”, which proposed that, Carry out in-depth soil testing and formulated fertilization, and continue to optimize the fertilizer input structure.

Industry analysts said that in my country, there are a large number of soil conditioner manufacturers, mainly Jiangsu Coastal Development Group, National Energy Group Ningxia Coal, Wengfu Group, Sinochem Modern Agriculture, Fangcheng Longdun Soil Conditioner, Guangzhou Xinnongke Fertilizer Technology, Guangdong Wanshan Environmental Technology, Jiahe Biotechnology, Hunan Fenghui Fertilizer Industry, Hangzhou Westnow Technology, Shandong Shengdi Biofertilizer Industry, etc.
