For bacterial fertilizer to work well, the key lies in these 2 points, and 90% of farmers overlook them
In recent years, microbial bacterial fertilizer has become very popular on the market because of its ability to improve soil, increase fertilizer use efficiency, and enhance crop quality. Farmers all hope to gain economic benefits by using bacterial fertilizer. But in practical application, the effect of microbial bacterial fertilizer is often poor because the following 2 points are not paid attention to.
Bacterial fertilizer is a biological product containing a large number of highly active beneficial bacteria, and whether its effect is good depends precisely on these bacterial communities'activity, and the bacterial communities'environmentis precisely the key factor affecting the activity of the bacterial strains.So how do you ensure the environment and activity of the bacterial community?
The application rate of bacterial fertilizer must be sufficient
Only when the application rate of bacterial fertilizer is sufficient and a strong bacterial community of sufficient numbers is formed can the ideal effect be achieved. For old greenhouses that have been planted for many years, it is recommended to use multiple methods such as base application, dipping trays, and topdressing during application, so that the beneficial bacteria in the soil increase sufficiently, thereby fully bringing out the effect of bacterial fertilizer in improving soil structure and enhancing soil fertility.
Avoid application under strong light
Strong ultraviolet rays have a very strong killing effect on the beneficial bacteria in bacterial fertilizer, so if bacterial fertilizer is exposed to sunlight for a long time, its fertilizer effect will disappear completely. Therefore, when storing and using bacterial fertilizer, avoid direct strong light. Avoid applying fertilizer at noon, and also cover it with soil.
Replenish water promptly after application
The reproduction activities of the bacterial strains in bacterial fertilizer must involve water, so after applying bacterial fertilizer, water promptly and maintain a certain level of soil moisture, which is conducive to bringing out the fertilizer effect. But it must not be waterlogged, as lack of oxygen in the soil is also not conducive to the survival of most beneficial bacteria.
Apply together with organic fertilizer
Only when the soil contains a certain amount of organic matter can the live bacteria in bacterial fertilizer reproduce better, and at the same time organic matter will also be more easily absorbed by crops due to decomposition by microorganisms. Therefore, only by applying bacterial fertilizer together with organic fertilizer that enriches the soil, promoting each other, can the best use effect be achieved.
