Biological Fertilizers: A New Era of Healthy Nutrition

In recent times, biological fertilizers made from selected biocultures — fungi or bacteria — have become frequent guests on the shelves of agricultural stores. The task of these microorganisms is to affect pathogenic representatives of fauna and flora. Cultivating such helpers is not difficult, so biologically active preparations based on them are relatively inexpensive, and buying fertilizers in bulk becomes a profitable investment in the next harvest. Let's consider the most popular types of such additives, so that readers understand what to pay attention to in the battle for the next season's harvest.

Humic Fertilizers: A Comprehensive Growth Solution

Humic fertilizers contain humus, but in a deconstructed form, readily available for rapid absorption by the plant's root system. Special attention should be paid to organomineral complexes, combining the strong qualities of mineral and organic stimulants. Humic acids ensure rapid delivery of phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium into the nutrient medium for crops. Thus, the organic component serves as a kind of transport for mineral nutrition.

What effect do organic fertilizers have?

  1. Stimulate growth.

  2. Help strengthen plant immunity.

  3. Increase yield.

  4. Enrich the soil with beneficial substances, thereby creating reserves for dry periods.

It is important to emphasize that organomineral mixtures are additives and cannot fully replace fertilizers containing concentrated nitrogen, phosphate, and other essential components for agricultural crops. However, their use helps reduce the need for these minerals by about 50%. You can get acquainted with biological preparations directly on the website http://биозавод.com/ru/products/dobriva.

Selecting a Universal Fertilizer for Plant Feeding

No farmer or agricultural business owner will risk their harvest by purchasing a new product without a clear understanding of the risks it may carry.

First and foremost, pay attention to the following:

  • Comprehensive impact on several threats simultaneously. Misinterpreting the properties of a preparation may not only lead to additional financial costs but also result in crop loss;

  • lack of negative effect on crops when the recommended dosage is exceeded. Many biological preparations can produce the opposite effect when the manufacturer's recommended dosage is exceeded.

In conclusion, we would like to remind you that organic fertilizers have a limited shelf life, measured in 12–24 months.
