The positive impact of organic fertilizer fermentation on soil quality is multifaceted, from improving soil structure to enhancing biological activity, and then to enhancing plant growth performance, all of which have shown significant effects. The following is a detailed analysis:
Improvement of soil structure
Enhancing soil aggregate formation: Organic matter in organic fertilizers forms stable humus after fermentation, which helps to develop soil aggregate structure, increase soil porosity, and improve soil permeability and drainage capacity.
Reduce soil compaction: Organic matter fills soil voids, reduces the compactness between soil blocks, makes the soil looser, and is beneficial for root extension.
Enhance soil fertility
Increasing nutrient supply: During the fermentation process of organic fertilizers, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing various nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for direct absorption and utilization by plants.
Promoting nitrogen fixation: Some microorganisms can fix nitrogen in the atmosphere, convert it into a form that can be used by plants, and increase soil nitrogen content.
Biological activity enhancement
Promoting microbial reproduction: The organic matter rich in organic fertilizers is a good substrate for microbial growth, which helps to increase the number and variety of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
Improved enzymatic activity: Organic fertilizer compost compost contains various enzymes that can catalyze the decomposition of complex organic matter in soil and promote soil nutrient cycling.
Suppress pests and diseases
Reduce the number of pathogens: High temperature fermentation can kill some pathogens and insect eggs in the soil, reducing the occurrence of diseases and pests.
Introduction of natural enemies: The beneficial microorganisms produced during the fermentation process help to suppress pathogens and establish a healthy soil ecosystem.
Environmentally friendly
Reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers: The long-lasting fertility provided by organic fertilizers can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, lower environmental pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Improving soil moisture retention capacity: The presence of organic matter enhances soil moisture retention and helps alleviate water scarcity in arid regions.
Plant growth promotion
Stimulating plant growth hormone secretion: Hormone analogues in organic fertilizers can promote plant growth and development, enhance stress resistance.
Improving photosynthetic efficiency: Improved soil conditions and sufficient nutrient supply indirectly enhance the photosynthetic efficiency of plants and increase crop yields.
The organic fertilizer produced through fermentation by the organic fertilizer turning machine has brought multi-level and all-round positive effects to the soil, not only improving the health status of the soil itself, but also creating a more ideal growth environment for crops, which is an important support for achieving sustainable agricultural development.
