FAQ's

Yes, the microbes used in agriculture, soil, and wastewater businesses are typically selected for their safety and beneficial characteristics. They are extensively tested to ensure they do not pose harm to humans, animals, or the environment when used as directed. It's important to follow the recommended guidelines and usage instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Certain microbes form beneficial relationships with plant roots, known as symbiotic associations. These microbes can enhance nutrient uptake, particularly for elements like nitrogen and phosphorus, making them more available to plants. Additionally, some microbes can produce plant growth-promoting substances, improve soil structure, suppress plant diseases, and enhance the plant's stress tolerance.

While microbes can provide significant benefits to agriculture, they are not meant to entirely replace traditional fertilizers or pesticides. Instead, they can complement conventional practices by improving nutrient availability, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, and promoting healthier plant growth. Additionally, certain microbes can help suppress plant diseases, potentially reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides.

Microbes play a fundamental role in soil health by decomposing organic matter, releasing nutrients, and enhancing soil structure. They can break down complex organic compounds into simpler forms that are accessible to plants. By promoting nutrient cycling, microbes contribute to the overall fertility and productivity of the soil. They also help improve soil structure, water-holding capacity, and erosion resistance.

In wastewater treatment, specific strains of microbes are used to break down organic matter, degrade pollutants, and remove contaminants from wastewater. These microbes can convert organic compounds into simpler forms through processes like aerobic or anaerobic digestion. They play a vital role in different stages of wastewater treatment, such as activated sludge processes, biological filters, or lagoons.

Probiotics: Beneficial bacteria added to improve gut health and disease resistance in fish and shellfish.

Water Quality Management: Microbes help convert harmful compounds like ammonia into less toxic forms and maintain water quality.

Waste Management: Microbes decompose organic waste and prevent its accumulation, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.

Disease Management: Some microbes produce antimicrobial compounds and compete with pathogens, reducing the risk of disease outbreaks.

Larval and Algal Culture: Microbes are used to culture microalgae and zooplankton, which are important food sources for larval aquatic organisms.

Overall, microbes play a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of aquaculture systems while promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

The application methods can vary depending on the product and its intended use. Microbes can be applied as seed treatments, soil inoculants, foliar sprays, or through irrigation systems. It's important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding dosage, application timing, and specific application techniques to ensure optimal results.
