GarIL?'R:1L PL.~~Ii FG3 L:ii',.IIDIi1G FERTILIZER ZIIDUSTRY -- i?loscow, Pravda, 21 Sep 53
According to the decree of the September Plenum of the CC,CPSU, a concrete
program uas dra:rn up for workers of the chemical industry to increase production
of mineral fertilicers for socialist ariculture. From 1954 to 1963 inclusive,
the Idinictry of 'the Chemical Industry and the Diinistry of the ldetallurgical
Industry are assigned the task of increasing capacities fcr the production of
mineral fertilizers to approximately 16,500,000 to .17,500,000 tons in 1959, and
to ~b million to 30 million tons in 196l~, This means that, every 2 years in
the given period, enterprises for the production of mineral fertilizers should
be built and put into operation t:hich will have approximately the same capacity
as all such enterprises put into operation during the two prewar Five-Year
Plans, taken together.
Along with n considerable c:pansion in e::isting enterprises, construction
of new enterprises i~ required for the production of nitrogen, phosphate, and
potassium fertilizers in various rcgicn:; of the country. During postwar years,
a nunioer of near enterprises for the _rraiuction of mineral fertilizers have
already been constructed and put into operation in KoY.and (Uzbek SSR) Dzhambul
)
and Al:tyubins'c (Knzahh 533), Lisichans':c (U'.cx?ainian SSR), Kirovakan .(Armenian
SSR), and in other cities an?i re;;ions of the country. The i?linistry of the
Chemical Industry am9 its piannin; an3 ~cicatific research institutes are now
seeking a scientific economic basic in allocating new enterprises for the
production of mineral fertilizers. iie?d plants will be constructed in Central
A^,ia, '.dept and isst Siberia, in the central regions of European Russia, in the
Ulsaira, in Belorussia, in the Baltic republics, and in the regions of the Il:,rth
Caucasus ant Trarscaucasus. The production of phosphate fertilizers tii11 be
raised as a result of an increase in apatite extraction and oi' exploitation of
the phosphorites of the rich Tiara-Tau .icposit. The production of potassium
fertilizers should be considerably increased cn the basis of deposits being
exploited in the Ura?s and the western U1-saine and of new deposits to be
e::ploite3 in 3elorussia end Kazakhstan.

In addition to increasing the quantitative production of mineral fer+,;lizers,
particular attention must also be paid to increasing their variety, appl'ouLmsting
the quality and the properties of the utilized mineral fertilizers to the re-
quirements of specific regions and agricultural crops. The output of superphos-
phates in granular form must be stepped up, and should account for 45 percent of
the total output oP superphosphates in 1955, and 60 percent in 1960. At the same
time, the supply of ammonium nitrate to agriculture should be entirely in
granular form from 1956 on.
The utilization of chemical means of fighting pests and plant diseases is
very important for nn increase in the productivity of agricultural crops. Zn
postwar years, scientific research institutes and enterprises of the chemical
industry, with the participation of agricultural workers, have developed and
tested new types of highly effective organic preparations for combating pests
and plant diseases: DDT, hexachlorane, granosan (Russian, granozan), and others.
According to the plan for 1953, the production of organic poisonous chemicals is
to reach three times that of 1950, including DDT, more than five times,
hexachlorane, 2.7 times, and granosan, 1.' times. In the next 2 or 3 years, the
chemical industry is to double its production of poisonous chemicals.
VOSKRESENSK COMBINE TO INCREASE; SUPERPROSPHATE PRODUCTION -- Moscow, Moskovsknya
Pravda, 18 Sep 53
The Voskresensk Chemical Combine imeni V.V. Kuybyshev, the largest enter-
prise in the country which manufactures phosphates, has resolved to complete the
yearly plan ahead of schedule, to deliver 12,000 tons of mineral fertilizers
above the plan, and to reduce production costs 3 million rubles below the plan.
Granular superphosphates manufactured by this plant have been tasted many
times in the field^, around ldoscow with good results, and the demand for them, is
increasing daily. The plant has resolved, during 1953, to increase the output
of granular superphosphates at least 15 percent above the 1952 output.
Compared with 1950, the production costs of superphosphates and granular
superphosphates have been reduced during 6 months of 1953 by 15 percent and
27 percent respectively. Above-plan savings for the 2z years since 1950 have
almost reached 11 million rubles.
b10LOTOV PLANT IbfPROVES QUALITY OF FERTILIZER; -- Moscow, Pravda, 17 Sep 53
4Jorkers of the P~Solotov Plant imeni Ordzhonikidze of the tdinistry of the
Chemical Industry are getting ready to start the production of granular super-
phosphates in 1954. The workers of the plant have assumed the task of increasing
the assimilable substance in superphosphates by 0.3-0.4 percent above the standard
and of improving the technology of production of poisonous chemicals for
combating agricultural pests. An increase of even 0.1 percent in the assimilable
substance in supernhosphates will result in a higher grade fertilizer for
agriculture and a saving o? about 100,000 rubles per year.
ALAVERDI FLAbIT SUPPLIES FERTILIZERS TO AZERBAYDZ1L1i1, GEORGIA -- Yerevan,
Kommunist, 24 Sep 53
During 8 months of 1953, the siiperphosphete unit of the Alaverdi Chemical
Plant in the Armenian SSR manufactured many tons of above-plan superphosphates.
These superphosphates go to s8tisfy the agricultural needs of the Armenian SCR
itself and those of the Azerbay3zhsn and Georgian SSRs. In the third quarter
