Chengdu Newsun receives Chinese National Science & Technology Progress Award for soil acidification control research achievement

Recently, Chinese company Chengdu Newsun Crop Science received a Chinese National Science & Technology Progress Grade II Award given to its soil acidification control research for application to China’s red soil region. The research involves integrated studies for nearly 30 years, covering long-term site-monitoring activities in six typical provinces of China, thus creating a key technique for the prevention and control of soil acidification, which is referred to as “de-acidification by precision lime application, acid blocking by organic fertilizer and acid control by decreased nitrogen”. Subsequently, the company has developed an acid soil conditioner product called PH-UP, which is promoted for nation-wide large-scale applications, in combination with its soil acidification control technique.
