Is organic fertilizer good for growing white hair? (Is microbial fertilizer good for growing hair?)

Microbial agent is a relatively special fertilizer. It does not contain nutrients, but it can promote root development and improve the efficiency of nutrient absorption, especially it can play a good role in soil conditioning.

Therefore, its usage rate is getting higher and higher, which has also spawned many "rumors" about microbial agents, one of which is that good bacterial fertilizers will grow hair.

Are all the microbial agents producing hair?

What would you think when you opened a bag of microbial agents and found that the fertilizer inside had grown mold?

Some salespeople claim that all microbial agents grow hair, and only those with hair are real microbial agents. Do you believe it? Perhaps many people will be deceived by such words, but the actual situation is not like this.

First of all, there are some microorganisms that are prone to growing hair, such as Trichoderma, Trichoderma harzianum and other fungi, which are relatively easy to grow hair, and will only stop growing hair under very strict conditions.

However, the microbial agents we use in daily life are mainly Bacillus, which does not belong to the fungus family and therefore does not grow hair.

Therefore, when microbial fertilizer grows hair, there must be something wrong with the fertilizer . It may be that the product is not fermented thoroughly, or it may be that the storage environment is improper. In short, microbial agents that grow hair must not be used!

The higher the bacterial content, the better?

We all know that the ingredients in microbial agents are beneficial bacteria. They can activate nutrients in the soil, improve the composition of fungi in the soil, thereby promoting the development and growth of the root system and reducing the occurrence of soil-borne diseases.

Therefore, the bacterial content in microbial agents can represent its efficacy from one aspect, but if the bacterial content is deliberately emphasized, you should be careful.

Under normal circumstances, the mycelium of bacterial fertilizer is white, grayish white, light yellow or transparent. If we see that the mycelium of bacterial fertilizer is green, grayish black or black .

There is no doubt that this is a miscellaneous bacteria or even harmful bacteria. The use of this kind of bacterial fertilizer is not only unhelpful to crop growth, but may even cause harm.

When we talk about bacterial content, we are talking about the "effective bacterial content" rather than including all kinds of fungi. Many products claim to contain 500 million or 1 billion bacteria, which may seem very powerful at first glance, but is not the case.

You know, if we pick a leaf at random, it may contain tens of thousands of fungi.

For microbial agents, the national standard is : the microbial agent product granules must be ≥ 100 million, the liquid must be ≥ 200 million, and the biological organic fertilizer must be ≥ 20 million. If the product contains bacteria that significantly exceeds this indicator, then there is a problem.

Microbial fertilizers take a long time to take effect

According to how quickly the fertilizers take effect, we usually divide them into quick-acting fertilizers and slow-acting fertilizers. Among them, the more common water-soluble fertilizers, compound fertilizers, foliar fertilizers, etc. are all quick-acting fertilizers, which take effect relatively quickly.

Microbial agents, organic fertilizers, microbial fertilizers, etc. are all slow-release fertilizers. These fertilizers take a long time to take effect, but their fertility lasts for a long time.

Although microbial fertilizers take a long time to take effect, there will be problems if they are ineffective for a long time. Moreover, the microbial agents generally used now are made from microbial strains with relatively high activity.

They can produce effects quickly in the soil, quickly forming dominant bacterial colonies to take effect, the effects are not slow, and they are safe and environmentally friendly.

Therefore, it is not absolute that the effect of microbial agents is slow. Compared with water-soluble fertilizers and foliar fertilizers, it is relatively slower, but the effect can basically be seen within a week.

“Organic fertilizer” pretends to be “bio-organic fertilizer”

Bio-organic fertilizer is also a classification of microbial agents. It is a combination of microbial agents and organic fertilizers, so it can play a dual role during use.

As people pay more and more attention to microorganisms, many manufacturers call the "organic fertilizer" they produce "bio-organic fertilizer". Not only is the publicity more attractive, the sales price is also higher, but the ordinary people are the ones who suffer.

How to distinguish organic fertilizer and bio-organic fertilizer? In fact, you only need to look at the implementation standards. The implementation standard for bio-organic fertilizer is NY884-2012, and the implementation standard for organic fertilizer is NY525-2012.

When buying, if you see the 525-2012 mark on the package, it can only be labeled as organic fertilizer, not bio-organic fertilizer or bio-bacterial fertilizer. We must read the label clearly.

How to choose real bacterial fertilizer

“Three checks” to select microbial fertilizer

There are still many scams about microbial agents. Farmers must keep their eyes open when buying fertilizers. They should not buy ineffective microbial agents for the sake of cheapness. Before buying microbial agents, they must do "three checks".

First, check whether the manufacturer is compliant and qualified.

Second, check whether the product registration certificate is authentic and valid.

Third, check whether the implementation standards are the implementation standards for microbial agent-related products.

Finally, check the product’s production date and expiration date.
