Garlic — a staple seasoning in every kitchen — is also one of China’s most important economic crops. Statistics show that China produces nearly 80% of the world's garlic, and has been the top global exporter for many consecutive years. Known as “White Gold,” garlic is not only a culinary favorite but also a key source of income for many farmers.

In the garlic-growing region of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, we conducted a demonstration trial of Nitrophoska® compound fertilizer to evaluate its effectiveness.

Demonstration Field Overview

• Location: Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province
• Planting Area: Around 600,000 mu (approx. 40,000 hectares) in Pizhou, Tongshan, and Jiawang districts
• Yield Performance: 1,250–1,500 kg of dried garlic bulbs per mu
• 2023 Market Price: 8–10 RMB/kg
• Growing Cycle: Sown in September–October, harvested in May of the following year

Nitrophoska® Fertilization vs. Traditional Farmer Practices

The trial compared the Nitrophoska® fertilizer program with traditional fertilization practices.

Note: All fertilizer quantities are measured in kg/mu.

Significant Differences in Input and Results

Outstanding Benefits of the Nitrophoska® Program:

• ✅ Stronger Root System
  Promotes robust root development, laying the foundation for high yields.
  
  

• ✅ Thicker, Sturdier Stems
  Enhanced stem strength improves lodging resistance and overall plant health.

• ✅ Larger Garlic Bulbs
  In a random sample of 40 garlic bulbs:

• • Nitrophoska® group average diameter: 3 cm
  • Control group average diameter: 9 cm

• ✅ Higher Yield
  1-square-meter yield test shows:
  • o Nitrophoska® group: 3 kg
  • o Control group: 5 kg
    → Yield increase: 23%

Why Choose Nitrophoska® Compound Fertilizer?

Although the Nitrophoska® program costs slightly more (about ¥100 more per mu), it provides a scientific nutrient balance and promotes efficient nutrient absorption, resulting in significantly higher yields.

• Based on 2023 market prices, the increased revenue per mu is estimated at ¥800–1,000, leading to a substantial boost in net profit.

Conclusion

Modern agriculture demands scientific planting and precise fertilization. The Nitrophoska® fertilizer program proves that:

“A small investment brings big returns.”
