Most farmers run such small operations they haven't felt they could spare the time and energy to go to the stations. Agricultural authorities have had to retreat a step and try to develop microorganic fertilizers that can be used in small quantities in the hope that they can later be substituted for chemical fertilizers.
由於農民大多耕地不大，少施肥省不了幾百元，算盤一撥，乾脆省下到農業機構的時間、體力。農政單位只能再退一步，加緊研究開發用量極小的微生物肥料，希望以後能代替化學肥料。
