8 things to note when buying bacterial fertilizer, so beginners can avoid losing out

As people pay more attention to the harm of soil pollution and become more aware of food safety, more and more farmer friends are starting to use bacterial fertilizer to achieve high and quality yields.

But for beginners, when choosing and using bacterial fertilizer products, you must pay attention to the following common points to avoid being cheated and taking detours!

1. When buying, pay attention to the production date and do not buy expired bacterial fertilizer. Generally, if the production date is more than 1 year old, the activity of the bacterial fertilizer will decline somewhat.

2. Microbial bacterial fertilizers produced by legitimate manufacturers will have a registration certificate number from the Ministry of Agriculture, while fake and inferior products will not, and the provincial department of agriculture does not have the right to approve bacterial fertilizer registration.

3. The state stipulates that the effective viable bacteria count of microbial inoculants must be >=200 million/g, that of granular ones >=100 million/g, and that of products meeting the standards for biofertilizer and bio-organic fertilizer >=20 million/g, so you should buy qualified products that meet state regulations.

4. Only by reasonably combining bacterial fertilizer with organic fertilizer can they promote each other and achieve better fertilizer efficiency, and the effect is far better than using only one of these products. Note that organic fertilizer must be fully decomposed before it can be mixed in, otherwise it will not only affect the activity of the bacterial strains, but also cause harm to crops.

5. After bacterial fertilizer is opened, the bacterial strains are easily lost, and other bacteria may also enter, causing the strains to change and reducing the use effect, so pay attention to sealed storage and use it as soon as possible.

6. Avoid using it at the same time as fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. If there is a need to apply all of them, be sure to leave a certain interval and apply the bacterial fertilizer only after the effects of these agents have passed.

7. The bacterial strains in bacterial fertilizer are more conducive to exerting their activity only in soil with a certain humidity (about 60%), so avoid using it during drought, and combine it with watering when applying.

8. Because the bacterial strains in bacterial fertilizer are sensitive to ultraviolet light, it should not be spread directly on the ground. Generally, shallow burial in the soil is more conducive to the bacterial fertilizer exerting its effect.
