Abstract

This paper examines the total inputs and regional characteristics of chemical input in China since the 1990s, analyzes existing problems of chemical input, and puts forward a general transformation idea, transformation path, and security system for chemicals. Certain phenomena that result in obvious problems for this industry include the excessive use and a low utilization rate of chemicals, regional imbalances in chemicals input, imbalanced crops, and irrational crop structure within the planting industry. In addition, input methods need improvement. It is essential to transform the production mode by optimizing regional layouts, reforming planting systems, developing new chemicals, and adopting precision agricultural technologies. It is also necessary to strengthen support for and promote the green and sustainable development of farming based on scientific and technological innovation, integrated demonstrations, subsidy systems, standard specifications, and industry/university/research institute collaborations.
