Microbial inoculants are live preparations made from beneficial microorganisms and their metabolites. They are mainly processed by adsorbing the fermentation broth of microorganisms onto porous materials such as peat moss and vermiculite. Types include anti-replanting microorganisms and lactobacilli, and they are available in liquid, powder, and granular forms.
The effective bacteria promote crop growth by secreting active substances such as gibberellins and cytokinins, decompose soil organic matter to generate humic acid to reduce nitrogen fertilizer loss, and improve soil structure and water and fertilizer retention capacity. They are applied in agriculture, environmental protection, medicine, and industry.
