Microorganisms : What do they do for Soil and Benefits
Microorganisms help in nutrient cycling, Soil Structure aggregation, Disease suppression, Soil fertility, Soil pH regulation and improve plant growth.
1. Nutrient Cycling
Microorganisms break down organic matter into simpler compounds making them available for plant to intake.
2. Soil Structure and Aggregation:
Microorganisms produce organic compounds that helps to improve soil structure and soil porosity.
3. Disease Suppression
Certain soil microorganisms act as natural enemies to plant pathogens. They outcompete harmful microbes for resources.
4. Organic matter Decomposition:
Microorganisms decompose complex organic compounds in the soil leading to the formation of humus and improve soil texture.
5. Environmental Remediation:
Some microorganisms transform pollutants in the soil, such as hydrocarbons from oil spills or heavy metals.
