For a long time, while chemical agriculture has ensured yields, it has also brought about a series of issues such as soil compaction, declining soil fertility, excessive pesticide residues, and environmental pollution. Consumers' demand for safe and healthy agricultural products is growing, and the government is actively promoting the policy of "reducing chemical fertilizers and pesticides while increasing efficiency." Against this backdrop, finding a safe, efficient, and sustainable agricultural production method has become an urgent priority. Agricultural yeast preparations, as an excellent microbial agricultural input, are emerging as a key solution with their green, natural, and multi-functional characteristics. No longer confined to the role of fermenters in the food industry, they have become all-round players rooted in the soil, safeguarding crop growth. Today, let’s delve deeper into this agricultural revolution led by the microscopic world.

1. Mechanism of Action: How Do the Invisible "Field Guardians" Work?

The power of agricultural yeast lies in its intricate and diverse mechanisms of action, much like a well-trained "special forces unit" operating synergistically in the rhizosphere and on the leaf surfaces of crops.

Seizing the Initiative, Spatial Occupancy:

When yeast is applied to crops, it rapidly multiplies, forming a beneficial "bio-protective film" on the roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits of the plants. This film physically occupies space, crowding out pathogens and leaving them "no place to settle," thereby preventing diseases.

Activating Immunity, Strengthening Health:

Yeast and its metabolites act as "immune activators," stimulating crops to produce defense responses and enhancing their resistance to pests and diseases. It’s like vaccinating plants, helping them grow stronger and less prone to illness.

Secreting Beneficial Substances, Using Microbes to Suppress Microbes:

During growth, yeast secretes various antimicrobial substances (such as chitinase), organic acids, vitamins, and more. These metabolites can directly inhibit or dissolve the cell walls of pathogenic bacteria, achieving a "using microbes to combat microbes" effect without causing drug resistance.

Improving Soil, Solubilizing Phosphorus and Potassium:

In the soil, yeast acts as an efficient "decomposer." It breaks down organic matter, releases trace elements like phosphorus and potassium that are fixed in the soil, and converts them into forms absorbable by crops. This significantly improves fertilizer efficiency while enhancing soil aggregate structure, turning compacted land loose and fertile again.

3.Application Cases

Case 1: During corn sowing, agricultural yeast was diluted 500 times with water for irrigation. The seed germination rate increased by over 20%, and plant height significantly improved.

Case 2: During wheat topdressing, treatment with agricultural yeast resulted in an average increase of over 30% in tiller numbers one month later.

Case Three: The application of agricultural yeast significantly enhances cucumber's ability to resist salt stress and maintains normal growth. Compared to saline water treatment, the treatment with yeast (diluted 5000 times) resulted in a 40% increase in biomass, an 18% rise in superoxide dismutase (SOD), a 42.8% boost in peroxidase (POD), and a 16% reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA).
