China's Green Manure Revival Program / 中国绿肥复兴计划
China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has launched an ambitious green manure revival program as part of the national strategy to reduce chemical fertilizer use and improve soil health across the country's major agricultural regions. After decades of intensive chemical farming that degraded soil organic matter and biological activity, the Chinese government now subsidizes green manure cultivation in key rice-producing provinces.
中国农业农村部启动了绿肥复兴计划，作为减少化肥使用、改善全国主要农区土壤健康的国家战略。经过数十年密集化学耕作导致的土壤有机质和生物活性下降，中国政府现在对主要水稻产区的绿肥种植提供补贴。
Provincial subsidies for green manure cultivation range from 150 to 450 RMB per mu (approximately $315 to $950 per hectare) in provinces including Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, and Guangdong. These subsidies cover seed costs, planting, and incorporation. Sesbania (田菁) is one of the approved green manure species under these programs, alongside Chinese milk vetch (紫云英) and other leguminous crops.
For Chinese agricultural buyers, Kohenoor International offers a reliable, competitively priced supply of high-quality sesbania seeds from Pakistan — a neighboring country connected by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) with efficient shipping routes and growing bilateral trade in agricultural commodities.
Regional Applications Across China / 中国各地区应用
Yangtze River Rice Belt / 长江流域稻区
The Yangtze River basin — spanning Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces — is China's primary rice-producing region. Sesbania planted between early and late rice harvests provides 80 to 120 kg of biological nitrogen per hectare, reducing urea input by 50 to 75 percent while rebuilding soil organic matter depleted by double-cropping.
长江流域（湖南、湖北、江西、安徽、江苏）是中国主要水稻产区。在早稻和晚稻之间种植田菁，每公顷可固氮80至120公斤。
Guangdong / Fujian Tropics / 广东/福建热带区
Southern China's tropical and subtropical climate supports year-round sesbania growth. In Guangdong and Fujian provinces, sesbania serves as green manure for rice, sugarcane, and tropical fruit orchards. The warm, humid conditions allow rapid biomass accumulation of 20 to 40 tonnes of fresh matter per hectare in just 60 days.
华南热带亚热带气候支持田菁全年生长。广东、福建省将田菁用于水稻、甘蔗和热带果园绿肥。
Yellow River Delta / 黄河三角洲
The Yellow River Delta in Shandong Province contains millions of hectares of saline-alkaline soils. Sesbania bispinosa (田菁) is one of the few crop species that can establish in these conditions, tolerating soil salt content of 0.3 to 0.5 percent. Field trials in Dongying show 2 to 3 seasons of sesbania cultivation reduces soil salinity by 30 to 50 percent.
山东黄河三角洲有大面积盐碱地。田菁可耐受0.3%至0.5%含盐量，东营试验表明2至3季种植可降低土壤盐度30至50%。
Hainan Island / 海南岛
Hainan's tropical climate is ideal for Sesbania grandiflora and S. sesban as multipurpose agroforestry trees. Applications include green manure for tropical fruit plantations, windbreak establishment, and biomass production for biofuel research programs.
海南热带气候适合大花田菁和埃及田菁作为多功能农林树种。
Government Subsidies for Soil Health / 土壤健康补贴政策
China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and subsequent agricultural policy directives include specific targets for reducing chemical fertilizer use and improving soil organic matter. Green manure cultivation is a key component of this strategy. Provincial subsidy programs supporting sesbania cultivation include:
| Province / 省份 | Subsidy (RMB/mu) | Key Application |
|---|---|---|
| Hunan 湖南 | 200 to 300 | Rice rotation green manure in Dongting Lake region |
| Jiangxi 江西 | 150 to 250 | Double-rice system green manure in Poyang Lake basin |
| Anhui 安徽 | 200 to 350 | Rice-wheat rotation improvement along Yangtze |
| Guangdong 广东 | 250 to 450 | Tropical agriculture soil restoration |
| Shandong 山东 | 200 to 400 | Saline soil reclamation in Yellow River Delta |
Policy Note / 政策提示: Subsidy rates and eligibility criteria vary by province and county. Chinese buyers should consult their local Agricultural and Rural Affairs Bureau (农业农村局) for current program details. Kohenoor International can provide seed quality certificates and documentation required for subsidy applications.
Saline Soil Improvement / 盐碱地改良
China has approximately 100 million hectares of saline-alkaline soil, much of it concentrated in the Yellow River Delta (Shandong), Hexi Corridor (Gansu), Songnen Plain (Heilongjiang and Jilin), and coastal reclamation areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Sesbania bispinosa is uniquely suited for improving these marginal lands:
- Salt Tolerance / 耐盐性: Sesbania bispinosa establishes in soils with electrical conductivity up to 8 dS/m — far exceeding the tolerance of most crop species
- Organic Matter Addition / 有机质增加: Incorporating sesbania biomass adds 3 to 5 tonnes of organic matter per hectare, improving soil structure and water infiltration in salt-affected soils
- Biological Desalination / 生物脱盐: The deep taproot (1 to 2 meters) draws salt downward through the profile, while surface organic matter reduces evaporative salt accumulation
- Nitrogen Fixation / 固氮作用: Even in saline conditions, sesbania fixes 40 to 80 kg of nitrogen per hectare, building fertility in soils too degraded for conventional crops
