What is a Microbial Soil Conditioner?
A Microbial Soil Conditioner is a culture of beneficial microorganisms (special bacteria and/or fungi) formulated along with a suitable carrier material that helps the soils improve their nutrient status for proper plant growth and protection. These beneficial microorganisms can (1) increase phosphorous uptake, (2) make atmospheric nitrogen available and readily accessible to roots, (3) promote the growth of roots by releasing plant regulation substances, and (4) protect the roots from pathogenic microorganisms and give them a healthy environment for outstanding plant growth and performance. Agriculture’s frequent practices such as tillage and site preparation can reduce the population of beneficial microorganisms, which are one of the most important components of the soil as they carry out many important processes, vital for soil fertility and health. Their re-introduction using a Microbial Soil Conditioner in areas where they have been reduced will bring back life into the soil, grea
