How do Microbial Fertilizers Work

Microbial fertilizers work mainly by the functional bacteria they contain. There are more than 20 species of bacteria added to microbial fertilizers. The different strains of bacteria mark the different functions of fertilizers.

For example: Bacillus megaterium: phosphorus solubilizing (phosphorus bacteria), has a good effect of degrading organic phosphorus in the soil. Bacillus coli: phosphorus solubilizing, potassium releasing and nitrogen fixing function, secreting many kinds of enzymes and enhancing the resistance of crops to some diseases. Bacillus licheniformis: resists diseases and kills harmful bacteria.

About the principle of microbial fertilizer to improve soil to reduce crop diseases.

1, These beneficial bacteria form a probiotic environment in the soil, promote the formation of agglomerate structure, improve soil fertilizer and water retention capacity, increase soil looseness, and promote root growth. In addition, microorganisms can accelerate the decomposition of humus and promote the formation of soil organic matter.

2, These beneficial bacteria can produce fungicidal substances such as lipopeptides and proteins during the process of colonization and reproduction on the root surface, inside the roots, stems, leaves and other parts of the crop, thus killing crop pathogens and achieving disease prevention effects.
