For soil compaction, biofertilizers deliver the best results!

2019-07-25

In recent years, during agricultural development, the over-reliance on inorganic fertilizers at the expense of organic ones has led to significant changes in soil structure. Soil organic matter content has declined, its quality has deteriorated, its biological activity has weakened, and its turnover rate has slowed, resulting in diminished functionality. This, in turn, has to some extent impaired microbial activity. Consequently, addressing soil compaction calls for the use of biofertilizers to improve soil health and promote crop growth. The beneficial microorganisms in biofertilizer formulations—such as Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus licheniformis, and Bacillus subtilis—can accelerate the decomposition of organic matter, generate readily available nutrients for crops, and provide essential energy. They also help break down toxic and harmful substances that accumulate with continuous cropping.

In recent years, during agricultural development, the over-reliance on inorganic fertilizers at the expense of organic ones has led to significant changes in soil structure. Soil organic matter content has declined, its quality has deteriorated, its activity has diminished, and its turnover rate has slowed, resulting in a weakening of its beneficial functions. This, in turn, has to some extent impaired microbial activity. Therefore, addressing soil compaction requires the use of biofertilizers to improve soil health and promote crop growth.
Beneficial microorganisms such as Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus licheniformis, and Bacillus subtilis in biofertilizer microbial consortia accelerate the decomposition of organic matter, generating readily available nutrients for crops and providing an energy boost. They also break down toxic and harmful compounds accumulated from continuous cropping, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of crop rotation. Furthermore, they reduce heavy metal levels, increase vitamin C content in fruits, and enhance soluble sugar concentrations. Lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus coagulans, and Bacillus subtilis can elevate the levels of essential amino acids, vitamins, and unsaturated fatty acids in fruits, resulting in improved flavor, enhanced storage durability, and higher market prices.
 Use biofertilizer to address soil compaction.
To ensure the effectiveness of biofertilizers, please keep the following eight points in mind.
1. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the basic information about the biofertilizer, including its production date, shelf life, recommended application rate, and application method. If it is not being used immediately after purchase, store it according to the instructions, ensuring it is protected from light, well-ventilated, and kept in a dry environment.
II. Understand the primary functions of microorganisms in biofertilizers, as well as their suitable crop applications. For example, rhizobium-based fertilizers are used for leguminous crops as an inoculant to promote nodule formation and nitrogen fixation; phosphate-solubilizing bacterial fertilizers can convert poorly soluble phosphorus in the soil into available phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus compounds.
III. Master the timing and application techniques. This can be summarized with the three characters “early, close, even”: apply fertilizer early—typically as a base fertilizer, seed fertilizer, or seedling fertilizer; keep the fertilizer close to the crop roots during application; and ensure that seeds and seedling fertilizer are thoroughly mixed.
4. Apply together with organic fertilizer. Mixing the two types of fertilizer will enhance their effectiveness.
5. Immediately cover the fertilizer with soil to prevent direct sunlight from killing microorganisms and reducing the efficacy of the biofertilizer.
6. Do not mix with chemical fertilizers or fungicides; otherwise, the microorganisms in the biofertilizer may be inhibited or even killed, thereby compromising its efficacy.
7. Avoid mixing with uncomposted farmyard manure, as the decomposition process generates heat and fermentation, which can directly kill beneficial microorganisms.
8. Different types of biofertilizers should not be mixed. At present, the market offers a wide variety of microbial strains in biofertilizers, each containing distinct active microorganisms. It remains unclear whether these strains exhibit antagonistic interactions; if such interactions occur, fertilizer efficacy may be reduced.
