  1. Hi Arjun, based on our experience if you are using a microbial product along with a soluble fertilizer  for drip irrigation, it will improve the soil micro and macro flora to a great extent . The positive impact on the plant is immediate to be seen.

  2. Sir......we have a product that when added to irrigation water in small quantities increases microbial action in soil. This product will also assist in turning clay soils into friable soil. Best not to use chemical fertilizers if possible as our product is made with seaweed to a secret recipe and in itself also acts like a fertilizer.

    1. Dear

      I wish if I could test im Mozambique soils.

      Cheers 

  3. Micro irrigation itself doesn't decrease the microbial activities. On the contrary, it improves it due to balance in soil-water and soil-air relationship. But if fertigation (application of soluble chemical fertilizers through drip)  is done, then there is possibility of reduction in bacterial count and overall micro flora. If you want to keep the soil alive, you should not use chemical fertilizers - either through drip or otherwise.

    1. Excellent point Yashpal. The micro /nano irrigation is an RNA microbes biological process called a biocatalyst. Basically makes the oxygen and nutrients more available. You are on point of chemical fertilizers. Most chemical companies profess chemicals help optimize water and fertilizer use. The opposite is true. In order to ship products (in the US) all products must be classified as "STABLE".  A common method is to add a chlorine molecule. So when you add Cl with a Na you get Na Cl. This kills the soil microbes which are directly responsible for all nutrient uptake.  Crop yields are greatly reduced, nutritional density is all but disintegrated, and companies recommend to add more of both to fix the problem. Nature has a fix for this criminal act. But government agencies do all they can to keep companies in business and leave nature out of everything. With these RNA microbes we could clean all of the water and grow sufficient foods to feed all of India's people and become the largest food exporter in the world.

  4. Never, it makes more favourable conditions to maximize the microbial activities due to sufficient air circulation within the soil.
