Is the effect of bacterial fertilizer not good? The reason can be summarized in two words

Bio-fertilizer is also known as biological fertilizer, bacterial fertilizer, bacterial manure, or inoculant, but most people are accustomed to calling it bacterial fertilizer. This includes (microbial inoculum, bio-Organic Fertilizer, and compound microbial fertilizer).
Currently, various bio-fertilizers available in the market come in powder or granular forms, as well as liquid forms. When applied to the soil and further grown and reproduced under suitable conditions, they can, on one hand, convert certain nutrients in the soil that are difficult for plants to absorb into forms that are easier to absorb. On the other hand, through a series of their own life activities, they can secrete metabolites that are beneficial to plant growth, stimulating plant growth.
The use of microbial fertilizers is increasingly valued in economic crop areas, as they are indispensable for improving quality and efficiency in both vegetable and fruit gardens. This is because biological bacteria have many functions, such as preventing soil-borne diseases, improving soil fertility, and promoting growth.
However, in practical use, some users report that microbial fertilizer has improved yield and quality, while others claim to have seen no effect. This is closely related to the method of using microbial fertilizer. Only when used properly can the biological bacteria exert their intended effects.

Is the effect of bacterial fertilizer good or not? The key lies in two words: activity
To achieve the desired effect of improving soil quality and extending soil lifespan with biological bacterial fertilizer, it is essential to ensure that the bacterial cells remain in a live state and continue to reproduce. In other words, only by ensuring that the biological bacteria used are alive can this objective be achieved.
So, how to ensure that the biological bacterial fertilizer remains in a live state after use? This requires efforts in the following aspects.
Firstly, one should not use too little bacterial fertilizer.
Bacterial fertilizer must be applied generously to form a strong bacterial community, so as to achieve its desired effect. For old greenhouses that have been in use for more than ten years, it is recommended to adopt various methods such as base application, tray dipping, and top application, and use microbial inoculants with strong bacterial activity and a large number of effective live bacteria to increase the number of biological bacteria in the soil and enhance the effects of biological bacteria in improving soil fertility, preventing diseases, and increasing production.
Secondly, avoid strong light when using it.
When storing or using bacterial fertilizer products, they should not be exposed to strong light, as ultraviolet rays in sunlight have a strong killing effect on the bacteria and other microorganisms present in the biological bacterial products.
If the bacterial cells are exposed to strong light for an extended period during storage or use, the effectiveness of the bacterial fertilizer will be compromised. The longer the exposure, the more the biological bacteria will be killed, resulting in a diminished effect.
Thirdly, replenish water in time after use.
Since biological bacteria have strict requirements for soil moisture, and the reproduction of biological bacteria, especially bacteria, cannot be separated from water, the soil must maintain a certain level of humidity to facilitate the reproduction and expansion of biological bacteria.
However, it is important to note that the soil should not be too wet. If the soil moisture is too high, it will squeeze out the oxygen and be detrimental to the growth of biological bacteria. Currently, most biological bacteria products are composed of a combination of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, which also makes the requirements of biological bacterial fertilizer for soil moisture more lenient.

In addition, it is best to adjust the soil pH to a suitable range for survival.
Due to the excessive reliance on chemical fertilizers, the physicochemical properties of many soils have deteriorated to varying degrees, such as a lack of organic matter, high salt content, acidic or alkaline pH values, etc. These conditions are not conducive to the survival and reproduction of biological bacteria.
If the soil environment is poor, even the best bacterial fertilizer will not yield good results. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to adjusting the physicochemical properties of the soil, and adjusting the pH value of the soil to between 6.5 and 7.5. Only then can the biological bacteria exert their effect.
Lastly: For better results, use it in combination!
The combination of biological bacterial fertilizer and organic fertilizer yields better results. The use of organic fertilizer keeps the soil fertile and increases the organic matter in the soil, enabling the bacterial fertilizer to better proliferate and survive in the soil, as soil organic matter is the food for beneficial bacteria.
The role of microorganisms in agriculture has gradually been recognized by people. In the future, the application proportion of bio-bacterial fertilizer will become higher and higher. Currently, more than 70 countries in the world produce, apply, and promote microbial fertilizers. In China, there are also 250 enterprises engaged in research and production of microbial fertilizers. Bio-bacterial fertilizer has achieved certain economic benefits and social effects in agricultural production!
With the country's emphasis on and support for the development of green agriculture, I believe microbial fertilizers will surely develop in a healthy and orderly manner!
