Title: Chemical fertilizer and food safety——the demand of chemical fertilizer for cereal crops
Abstract: The roles and contributions of chemical fertilizer for food safety are reviewed,and the increments of chemical fertilizer by the years 2010,2015 and 2020 are analyzed and predicted for the goals of grain production respectively,based on the information concerned.In view of some problems existing in grain production in the past 5 years,the view-points are presented,i.e.enhancing the dosage of fertilizer by intensive development of chemical fertilizer industry,as well as the measures to be taken by China's center government such as maintaining the present planting area of grain production(at least 0.11 billion hm~2),adjusting the grain price,protecting the farmer's interest,improving the basic conditions of farmland,implementing the water-saving irrigation technique,promoting the balanced yield growth of grain production,and raising the net grain imported share properly,aimed at China's food safety and supply/demand balance of grain.Single consideration limited on the intensive input and development of chemical fertilizer industry will result in high costs in resource,environment and production,and be unacceptable in farmer and market.
