What are the effects and precautions of microbial fertilizer used on rice?

Microbial fertilizer is a product in which the life activities of microorganisms cause crops to obtain a specific fertilizer effect, and it is a type of fertilizer used in agricultural production. Rice cultivation also requires a certain amount of fertilizer, so what effects does microbial fertilizer have on rice? What precautions are there? Let us learn about it together below.

What effects does microbial fertilizer have on rice?

1. Microbial fertilizer has a certain yield-increasing effect on rice and has a good influence on the root activity of rice.

2. Microbial fertilizer reduces the plant height of rice plants, thereby enhancing the lodging resistance of rice, and increases both the number of grains per panicle and the number of filled grains of rice.

3. Microbial fertilizer can inhibit the infection or growth of rice pathogens, thereby promoting plant growth, and can also remediate soil environments contaminated by organic matter.

4. Microbial fertilizer is currently the ideal pollution-free pesticide with the widest area of use, the lowest price, and the greatest safety to humans and livestock.

What precautions are there when using microbial fertilizer?

1. The soil moisture condition is required to be suitable.

Soil that is too dry or too wet is not conducive to the exertion of the fertilizer effect of microbial fertilizer. The suitable soil moisture is about 60%, that is, soil moisture that is dry-then-wet is the most suitable.

2. It cannot be mixed with fungicides

Bacteria are the main manifestation of microbial fertilizer, and fungicides easily kill the active bacteria in microbial fertilizer, reducing the fertilizer effect of microbial fertilizer.

3. When mixing with chemical fertilizers, note that the amount of chemical fertilizer must not be too large.

High concentrations of chemical substances have toxic effects on the microorganisms in microbial fertilizer. In particular, note that it must not be mixed with alkaline fertilizers such as ammonium bicarbonate and physiologically alkaline fertilizers such as sodium nitrate.

4. Different types of microbial fertilizer are also not suitable for mixing.

There are many types of microbial fertilizer on the market, and the active bacteria they contain are different. Whether they have mutual inhibitory effects on each other is still not very clear. If they inhibit each other, then the fertilizer effect will be reduced.
