Abstract

Soil microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of soil ecosystems. This study aims to explore the effects of microbial fertilizers on improving soil physicochemical properties and promoting plant growth. The results show that the application of microbial fertilizers significantly increases the richness of soil microorganisms, maintains soil microecological balance, and effectively improves the soil environment. Through various secondary metabolites, proteins, and mucilage secreted by the developing plant root system, microbial fertilizers recruit specific fungal microorganisms. These microorganisms, by binding soil particles with their extracellular polysaccharides and…
