Without it in the soil, nothing can be planted! No matter how much fertilizer is used, it's useless!

Ideal soil composition
As we all know, soil is composed of solids, air, and water. The solid part mainly comes from the primary and secondary mineral particles of the developed rock matrix, as well as the organic matter left behind by living organisms (animals, plants, and microorganisms).
In an ideal soil, solids make up 50%, while air and water each make up 25%. The mineral portion of the solid accounts for 45%, while the remaining 5% of the organic matter consists of 10% of various active biological organic matter, 10% of root organic matter, and about 80% of "dead" organic matter that has been converted into stable polymers.
Among these components, the portion of soil that can affect soil health and be regulated by humans is naturally organic matter, which is the core of soil vitality. No wonder F.H.King, the author of "Four Thousand Years of Farmer" published in 1911, attributed the reason why China's arable land fertility remains higher than that of the United States' uncultivated land after thousands of years to refined soil conservation and management such as rotation, green manure, river mud backfilling, and farmyard manure application.
Organic matter is the core of soil vitality
Organic matter itself is a reservoir of nutrients and deeply affects the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. Assuming that the organic matter content of a certain soil surface soil is 4%, the organic matter nitrogen content is 5%, and the decomposition rate of organic matter in a crop is 2%, the nitrogen supply of Soil organic matter can reach 80kg/ha, which can almost meet the demand of most crops. It is estimated that 1% of Soil organic matter is equivalent to 18 kg of nutrients/mu.
At the same time, Soil organic matter is the main contributor of cation exchange capacity (CEC), which measures the ability of soil to maintain fertilizer, up to 50%~100%. Therefore, studies have shown that reducing the organic matter in soil from 2% to 1.5% will result in a 14% decrease in soil fertility.
In addition, Soil organic matter has a profound impact on water storage. A soil that is one acre large, one inch thick, and contains 2% organic matter can store up to 121000 liters of water, while a soil that contains 5% and 8% can store 303000 and 485000 liters of water, respectively. The research shows that when Soil organic matter rises from 1% to 3%, the soil water holding capacity increases by six times.
Of course, Soil organic matter also profoundly affects the texture and structure of soil. With abundant organic matter, the soil can form a large number of stable organic-inorganic complexes with good Soil structure, which not only resists soil erosion, but also provides ideal water and air conditions for roots.
Yesterday, a friend sent a message asking, what is the relationship between organic matter and microorganisms in soil? Let's also answer this question today!
In a word, soil microorganisms and organic matter! One cannot be missing! Otherwise, no matter how much fertilizer is used, it won't work!
The level of Soil organic matter represents the level of soil fertility. The soil lacking organic matter is easy to harden and deteriorate, and the fertilizer applied to the soil is also inefficient|
So, the main reason for soil compaction is the lack of organic matter, rather than the use of fertilizers.
This is not to say that fertilizers have no effect on soil compaction.
Due to the lack of organic matter, the intensity of the impact of fertilizers on soil compaction has become more prominent.
In the soil rich in organic matter, the utilization rate of fertilizer will be greatly improved. Sulfate, chloride ion, nitrite and other substances left in the soil by fertilizer will be harmless due to the multiple effects of transforming them into water-soluble organic compounds and rich soil microorganisms, so that the land can be cultivated sustainably.
This is one of them
The main function of microbial fertilizers (microbial fertilizers) is to promote the development of plant roots.
Biofertilizers contain various functional microorganisms that, upon entering the soil, produce a large number of secondary metabolites during their growth and reproduction process, which can promote the formation of soil particle structure.
The formation of granular structure can make the soil loose and soft, enhance its water and fertilizer retention performance, coordinate water, air, and heat more, reduce soil compaction, and facilitate water and fertilizer retention, ventilation, and promote root development, providing a comfortable growth environment for crops.
In addition, soil microorganisms also have Nitrogen fixation
Nitrogen accounts for 4/5 of the air composition, but plants cannot use it directly. Some microorganisms can use their Nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen in the air into fixed nitrogen compounds that can be used by plants. With such soil microorganisms, soil has its own nitrogen fertilizer production workshop.
Soil microorganisms living around plant roots can also regulate plant growth. Plant symbiotic microorganisms such as Rhizobia, mycorrhiza and fungi can directly provide nitrogen, phosphorus and other mineral elements for plants, as well as organic acids, amino acids, vitamins, auxin and other organic nutrients to promote plant growth.
This is the second
Looking back, let's talk about why bacterial fertilizer and organic matter are indispensable?!
The carrier is very important in the production of bacterial fertilizer, which is related to the activity ability of the bacteria.
When there is enough organic matter or Humus in the soil, microorganisms can survive and reproduce better and activate other nutrients.
The main function of microorganisms in soil is to produce various enzymes, decompose various nutrients, produce various acids and carbon dioxide, and provide more nutrients to crops. To survive and reproduce, microorganisms need to have sufficient organic matter in the soil.
If the content of Soil organic matter is sufficient, the physical and chemical properties of the soil will be good, and the activities of beneficial microorganisms in the soil will be strengthened, so as to maximize the decomposition and transformation of organic matter, produce a variety of nutrients and irritants, which in turn will stimulate the growth and development of microorganisms, promote crop growth, and ultimately achieve the goal of increasing production and income. This is also an important factor that we advocate the use of Manure together with bacterial fertilizer! So in order to achieve high yield of healthy soil crops, we cannot just apply fertilizers, microorganisms, and organic matter! One cannot be missing!
