Eco-friendly and highly effective microbial fertilizers are showing their unique value more and more today, when soil pollution is severe, and are winning the favor of more and more agricultural input dealers and farming friends. However, many friends still have mistaken understandings about the effects of microbial fertilizers. Today, Yezi will guide everyone to correctly understand microbial fertilizers.

Three one-sided understandings about microbial fertilizers:

First, excessively exaggerating the fertilizer effect of microbial fertilizers and believing they can completely replace chemical fertilizers.

Second, misunderstanding the true meaning of their dual effect as both pesticide and fertilizer, believing that as long as microbial fertilizers are applied, crops will not suffer from pests or diseases.

Third, believing that they cannot truly bring fertility to crops and only serve as a fertilizer supplement.

How to correctly understand microbial fertilizers?

Microbial fertilizers cannot completely replace chemical fertilizers, but by using microbial fertilizers, fertilizer efficiency can be enhanced, and fixed nutrient elements in the soil can be released, greatly reducing the amount of chemical fertilizers used. This not only lowers fertilization costs but is also very eco-friendly.

Through the reproduction and activity in the soil of the beneficial bacteria they contain, microbial fertilizers can inhibit or kill pathogenic bacteria in the soil and effectively prevent infection from soil-borne crop diseases. However, for plants that have already been infected by pests or diseases, their therapeutic effect is not so ideal, and pesticides should still be used promptly for control.

Although the fertility that microbial fertilizers bring to the soil is not as immediate as that of chemical fertilizers, it is a long-term process of improvement and release. By improving the soil environment, it turns the soil into truly fertile soil that retains water and nutrients and is suitable for crop growth, and it can prevent various pests and diseases at the root, enabling crop production to truly achieve low input, high output, and high quality.
