China saw utilization rate of chemical fertilizer in grain crops including rice, corn and wheat this year stand at 35.2 percent, up 2.2 percentage points from that in 2013, while that of the pesticide in the grain crops was 36.6 percent, up 1.6 percentage points from that in 2013, according to Zeng Yande, a senior official of the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) on Wednesday.
In the coming five years, China will try to keep growth rate of the use of the chemical fertilizer and pesticide less than 1 percentage point and cut the annual growth rate by 0.2 or 0.3 percentage points, and eventually achieve a zero growth in the use of the chemical fertilizer and pesticide by 2020, said Zeng.
