How Powerful are the "Microorganisms" in Bacterial Fertilizer

How powerful are the "microorganisms" in bacterial fertilizer?

I. Soil microorganisms can form soil structure
Soil is not just a simple combination of soil particles and fertilizers, as an active component of soil, soil microorganisms in the process of their own life, through metabolic activities of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, as well as the secretion of organic acids and other help soil particles to form a large particle structure, and ultimately the formation of the real sense of the soil. The composition of soil microbial compartments, their biomass and their life activities are closely related to the formation and development of soil.

II. The most significant effect of soil microorganisms is to decompose organic matter
The most significant effect of soil microorganisms is to decompose organic matter, such as crop roots and leaves and organic fertilizers applied to the soil, etc. Only through the action of soil microorganisms can they decompose and release nutrients for use by crops and form humus to improve the structure and arable nature of the soil.

Then, soil microorganisms can also decompose minerals, and the metabolites of soil microorganisms can promote the dissolution of insoluble substances in the soil. For example, phosphorus bacteria can decompose phosphorus in phosphate ore, and potassium bacteria can decompose potassium in potassium ore for crop uptake and utilization to improve soil fertility. In addition, the decomposition and utilization of urea is also inseparable from soil microorganisms. These soil microorganisms are like fertilizer processing plants in the soil, processing the mineral fertilizer in the soil into a form that crops can absorb and use.

III. Soil microorganisms also have the role of nitrogen fixation
Nitrogen accounts for 4/5 of the composition of air, but plants can not be used directly, some microorganisms can use its nitrogen fixation role to convert the nitrogen in the air into a fixed state of nitrogen compounds that plants can use, with such soil microorganisms, it is equivalent to the soil has its own nitrogen fertilizer production plant.

Soil microorganisms living around plant roots can also regulate plant growth. Plant symbiotic microorganisms such as rhizobia, mycorrhizae and fungi can provide plants with direct nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and other mineral elements as well as various organic nutrients such as organic acids, amino acids, vitamins and growth hormones to promote plant growth. Soil microorganisms have a close relationship with plant root nutrition.

IV. There are mutually beneficial and mutually hostile microorganisms among various microorganisms
There are some antibiotic microorganisms in the soil, and they can secrete antibiotics to inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, so as to prevent and reduce the harm of pathogenic microorganisms in the soil to crops. So, microorganisms in the soil actually have a negative side, such as pathogenic microorganisms.

V. Soil microorganisms can also explain the harmful substances left in the soil

Microorganisms can also degrade organic pesticides, urban dirt and factory waste left in the soil. Microorganisms break them down into low-harm or even harmless substances and reduce the harm of residual toxicity. Of course, all these functions are performed by different populations of microorganisms, and the realization of each function also requires a large number of microorganisms working together to do so.

VI. The future prospects of soil microorganisms are immeasurable
The microorganisms in soil are so capable that you may think, if only we could make them listen to humans, they would perform whatever functions we want them to do. Well, yes, that's what scientists are thinking, too. Now, in medicine and health care, industrial and agricultural production, there are already a lot of examples of the application of microorganisms. Take microorganisms in soil, by developing and screening effective strains and breeding efficient strains, we can remediate polluted soil, produce bacterial fertilizers, biopesticides and so on.
