Add beneficial bacteria for plants to your soil to improve nitrogen absorption and nutrient uptake. Beneficial bacteria can thrive in soil with plenty of compost, little to no pesticides, and beneficial fungi. Beneficial bacteria can live inside the plant, on the roots, or in the surrounding soil and will improve plant resilience.
Some types of bacteria are exceptionally beneficial for peas, legumes, and other plants that require high levels of nitrogen. Other types of bacteria promote phytohormone production and improve plant uptake of both water and nutrients.
Plant growth-promoting bacteria grow around the roots in an area rich in microbial activity called the rhizosphere. This space has many complex functions involving nutrients, hormones, sugars, several types of acid, polysaccharides, and phenolics. The PGPB interact with these things and other things plants release as they grow and change the soil. Scientists do not completely understand the rhizosphere and continue to study the agriculture and plant genetics involved. They also study the differences between greenhouse operations using hydroponic, traditional, and vertical methods and field-grown plants.
Many people use fungi grown with a high concentration of spores to improve the bacteria count for field crops. Growers and scientists know that greenhouse tests don’t always work in field applications without additional effort. Growers can start seedlings in the greenhouse using quality fungi and keep adding the fungi after transplanting to strengthen plants. Edible plants and flowers that consistently interact with rich soil and beneficial bacteria can produce better crops without pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
