Twitter @juangangel Program: Efficient Soil Microorganisms consist of a mixed culture of naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms that can be applied as inoculants to increase the microbial diversity of soils and plants. Research has shown that inoculating soil/plant ecosystems with EM cultures can improve soil quality, health, and crop growth, production, and quality. EM contains selected species of microorganisms including predominant populations of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and a smaller number of photosynthetic bacteria, all of which are mutually compatible with each other and able to coexist in a liquid culture. EM is not a substitute for other soil and crop management practices. It is an additional tool to optimize them, such as: crop rotation, use of organic amendments, conservation tillage, recycling of crop residues, and pest biocontrol. If used appropriately, EM can significantly increase the beneficial effects of these practices. Lactic acid bacteria: Lactic acid bacteria produce lactic acid from sugars and other carbohydrates, produced by phototrophic bacteria and yeasts. Photosynthetic bacteria: Phototrophic bacteria are a group of independent and self-sufficient microorganisms. These bacteria synthesize useful substances from root secretions, organic matter and/or harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) using sunlight and soil heat as energy sources. Yeasts: They degrade complex proteins and carbohydrates, producing bioactive substances such as vitamins, hormones and enzymes, among other metabolites, which can stimulate the growth and activity of other species, as well as higher plants. Within this genus in cultivation we can find: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida utilis. Actinomycetes: They produce metabolites such as antibiotics with biostatic and biocidal effects. They benefit the growth and activity of azotobacter and mycorrhizae. Source: https://microindustrialasalle.wordpre... Juan Gonzalo Angel Restrepo www.tvagro.tv
