When is the best time to use microbial fertilizer (when is the best season to apply biological fertilizer)

Microbial fertilizer refers to a preparation with active microorganisms produced by cultivating specific microbial strains.

Its benefits are that it is non-toxic and harmless, does not pollute the environment, and can increase the nutrition of plants or produce plant growth hormones through the vitality of specific microorganisms, thereby promoting plant growth.

Microbial fertilizers, like chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers, are important fertilizer sources in agricultural production . Bio-organic fertilizers are common in the market now, which are fertilizers made by inoculating beneficial microorganisms on organic fertilizers, and have the characteristics of both refined organic fertilizers and biological fertilizers.

The fertilizer effect of microbial fertilizer mainly comes from the microorganisms and beneficial bacteria in it, and their activity and quantity play a major role. In other words, how to ensure that the beneficial bacteria in the fertilizer have a longer vitality is the fundamental factor for the fertilizer to play a role in increasing production.

Therefore, first, we must ensure that there are sufficient numbers of effective microorganisms in the fertilizer, and second, we must ensure suitable environmental conditions for the growth of microorganisms, that is, good food, good drink, good housing, air conditioning, etc.

Microbial fertilizer is a living fertilizer. Just like people, if they don’t eat, drink, or sleep well, can they work hard? The same is true for microorganisms.

Just like these days, the temperature here is quite high, after 10 am, the sun is blazing, but now is also the harvest season for spring peanuts, people are sweating in the fields, their backs and legs ache, the labor intensity is very high. Therefore, most people work early and late.

Look at the food counters in the supermarket, there are roasted meat, side dishes, minced meat, pasta, white wine, beer, etc. At meal time, people come and go, carrying out large and small bags.

Looking at the air conditioners in every house, the outdoor units are whirring, and the streets are filled with a faint fragrance. After eating and drinking, I take a short nap and go out to work after 2-3 o'clock.

Isn't this just seeking comfort? The same is true for microorganisms. Under conditions of high temperature, scorching sun, drought, flooding, cold, etc., microorganisms are also inactive, their vitality declines, and they may even die of heat, dryness, freezing, or flooding.

Although microbial fertilizer can be applied all year round, it is best not to apply it in winter and early spring when the ground temperature is low, or in the hot and rainy summer season. It is better to apply it in the morning, evening, or on cloudy days without rain .

To minimize the death of microorganisms, avoid direct sunlight during application, add appropriate amount of water when mixing seeds, so that seeds can be fully absorbed. Cover with soil in time after application, and do not mix with pesticides or high-concentration fertilizers.

After application, ensure that there is enough water, but not too much, otherwise it will be suffocating. Therefore, drain water in time after rain to keep the soil moist, loose and breathable.

The microorganisms in microbial agents also need to eat and drink. Their food is organic matter and minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Therefore, the application of microbial fertilizers must be combined with organic fertilizers to supply sufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements.

Eat well, drink well, live well, and microbial fertilizer can play its greatest role and increase crop yields. The storage and use of microbial fertilizer must be strictly in accordance with regulations, otherwise the microbial fertilizer will be unbiological fertilizer.

When should microbial fertilizer be applied? It should be in the morning, evening, or on a rainless and cloudy day. Spring and autumn are the best seasons. It is best not to apply it in the rainy summer when the temperature is too high, or in the winter when the temperature is too low, especially after the soil is frozen .

How to use microbial fertilizer

The main function of microbial fertilizer is the number and vitality of microorganisms. Take the number for example, since it is alive, it has a certain life span. When it is higher than the vitality, its number will be greatly reduced, and the fertilizer effect will be greatly reduced.

The lifespan of microorganisms is very short, and they will soon be replaced by new ones. In order to maintain a sufficient number of microorganisms, it is best to replenish them once every half month or 20 days to allow them to play their role.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that you should not expect too much benefit from microbial fertilizer, as it cannot provide minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It also depends on soil fertility, pH, water content, unscientific use of fungicides in the soil, and manufacturers' tricks.

It will cause harm to the microorganisms or cause insufficient numbers. You have to apply chemical fertilizers when necessary, and you have to apply more organic fertilizers when necessary, so as not to end up getting your feet pricked by broken shoes.
