Lactobacillus ——Promote plant growth

Lactobacillus is a kind of bacteria that can produce a large amount of lactic acid by using fermentable sugars. This kind of bacteria is widely distributed in nature and can reside in the intestines and other organs of human and various animals. Lactobacillus  is found in soil, plant roots, many human food, animal feed, as well as natural lakes and rivers, sludge and some clinical samples. Lactobacillus has high application value in important fields such as industry, agriculture and medicine, which are closely related to human life. The common Lactobacillus in sauerkraut decomposes the sugar in vegetables and produces a large amount of lactic acid, which sharply increases the acidity in the environment. In this way, microorganisms that only adapt to living under alkaline and neutral conditions cannot grow. Lactobacillus grow more rapidly because they can tolerate a certain acidity, so that the lactic acid content continues to increase. Some microorganisms that can live in a slightly acidic environment are also forced to surrender at this time. Lactobacillus can still live well when the acid content reaches 2%, and they become the overlord in the pickled vegetable world after killing or inhibiting other microorganisms.

Role of Lactobacillus

Enhance plant metabolism, promote photosynthesis and strengthen leaf protective film, promote root development and improve nutrient absorption capacity;

Increase soil beneficial microbial flora, inhibit pathogenic microorganisms, prevent and reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests;

Improve soil, promote granulation structure, improve soil water retention and air permeability, and eliminate soil hardening;

Promote the decomposition of soil organic matter, synthesize various physiologically active substances such as amino acids, sugars and vitamins, and promote the growth of crops;

Decompose chemical fertilizer and pesticide residues, improve product quality, and promote crop germination, growth, flowering and maturity.

Lactobacillus can improve the soil microflora. The number of beneficial microorganisms (such as bacterial actinomycetes) in the soil using Lactobacillus is 2-3 times higher than that using equivalent chemical fertilizer. The combination of lactic acid bacteria and chemical fertilizer can also better maintain the number of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
