Agricultural Microbials; Maintain Soil Health and Contribute To the Crop Performance
Agricultural microbials refer to the microorganisms used in
the agriculture industry to enhance quality of yield and crop productivity.
They have target specific functions, and thus, are suitable for use in various
crops. Microorganisms play an important role in agriculture, such as helps
improve the quality of the soil, maintain fertility, and helps in composting
process, which forms manure. Farmers and ranchers often think of microbes as
pests that are destructive to their crops or animals (as well as themselves),
but many microbes are beneficial.

2022-2028.
Agricultural microbials are essential for decomposing
organic matter and recycling old plant material. They provide important
nutrients such as phosphorus or nitrogen and provide many benefits, such as encourages
the formation of soil structure, helps the soil retain moisture, heat
tolerance, drought tolerance, resistance to plant diseases, and resistance to
insects. Microbials like bacteria, fungi act as decomposers and break down the
dead and degradable waste of plants and animals and release them into the soil
and the soil becomes fertile.
Without agricultural microbials, such as bacteria, new plant
populations/communities struggle to survive or even exist. Bacteria change the
soil environment so that certain plant species can exist and proliferate. The
role of agricultural microbials is to maintain soil health and contribute to the
crop performance. Microorganisms live in the soil and have close association
with plants and together, they form microbiomel. Therefore, microbes such as
bacteria, molds, and yeasts are employed for the foods production and food
ingredients.
Microbials work as inoculant or biocontrol products to help
plants take up nutrients and protect against pests, diseases, and weeds.
Moreover, microbial products have potential to complement or replace
agricultural chemicals and fertilizers. Thus, with the increasing demand for
organic food, the demand for sustainable agricultural practices is also
increasing. The U.S. is expected to register significant market share due to
rigorous environmental laws in agricultural sector.
