Abstract:

Requisition-compensation balance of cultivated land is an important measure for the country to strictly adhere to the red line of 0.12 billion hm² of cultivated land. However, the phenomenon of putting the quantity ahead of quality generally exists. We tested the soil and assessed the quality grade of the supplementary cultivated land projects that had passed the acceptance inspection in five counties (cities, districts) in Zhejiang Province in recent years. The results showed that the overall fertility of the supplementary cultivated land was inferior, the average quality grade of supplementary cultivated land was 7.44, and the average values of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were all at medium to lower level, the soil was weak acidic. Besides, there were some problems such as unreasonable project design, inadequate post-management and so on. Countermeasures were put forward to improve the quality of supplementary cultivated land, such as strengthen the argument of project establishment, increase capital input, establish joint acceptance inspection mechanism, and rapid fertilization.

Key words: supplementary cultivated land, requisition-compensation balance, quality evaluation, current problems, suggestion
