摘要
明清时期,江南商品性农业发展迅速,农业产出较高,在人多地少的矛盾中,集约化经营和种植面积的扩大导致了对肥料的需求逐渐增加。在本地肥源短缺与经济需求的推动下,江南地区出现了农家肥的买卖活动,其中饼肥和粪肥是最为重要的商品肥料。随着外地输入江南饼肥数量的增加与本地粪肥买卖活动日益频繁,江南农业缺肥的矛盾得到了一定程度的缓解,江南的农作物产量有了较大的提升。尽管受制于自然经济和农民有限的购买力,江南农家肥的商品化在深度和广度上都是有限的,但其仍是中国农业发展史上的巨大进步。
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the rapid development of the commodity agriculture and the high agricultural output in Jiangnan region, the contradiction between a large population and the relatively little land, the intensive management and the expansion of cultivated area led to the gradual increasing demand for fertilizer. Under the drive of the local resources shortage and the economic demand, the trading activities of farmyard manure started up in Jiangnan region, including cake fertilizer and manure as the most important commercial fertilizer. Because of the increasing quantity of cake fertilizer entering Jiangnan region and the increasingly frequent local manure business activities, the lack of fertilizer in Jiangnan agriculture had been relieved to a certain degree and the crop yields had greatly improved. Although enslaved to the natural economy and the purchasing power of farmers is limited, the commercialization of Jiangnan farmyard manure was limited both in depth and in breadth. However, it was still a great progress in Chinese agriculture history.
