The Power of Yeast in Plant Nutrition

Yeast is a type of single-celled fungus belonging to the phylum Ascomycota, with around 1,500 species identified. It is widely present in soil and plant surfaces, and is particularly abundant in sugary mediums such as flower nectar and fruits. Yeast is used in many industries, including the production of bread, beer, and wine, and is often selected from the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae.



Yeast contains a high content of protein, organic matter, minerals, glucan, mannan, and nucleic acid. The effect of yeast on plant growth is significant. Yeast metabolites, such as erythronic acid, cytokinin, and auxin, can stimulate the growth and development of crops. Yeast applied to crops can also increase fruit set and production, with high yield and efficiency.


Yeast can prevent pathogenic bacteria from infecting crops and reduce the chance of crop disease. Its metabolites can also enhance the ability of crops to resist drought, waterlogging, and low temperature. Yeast can promote the synthesis of amino acids, soluble sugars, vitamins, and other nutritional elements, and reduce the content of nitrate, heavy metals, and other harmful substances in agricultural products. This makes the products taste good, keep fresh for a long time, and are storage-resistant.


Beneficial yeast bacteria proliferate around crop roots, secreting colloidal substances that facilitate the formation of aggregate structure of dry soil, making the soil loose, breathable, water and fertilizer retaining. They also effectively decompose ammonia, phosphorus, potassium, and other substances fixed by soil, converting them into nutrients that can be directly absorbed and utilized by crops.


In summary, yeast is an important component of agricultural production, and its metabolites and secretions can promote the growth and development of crops, enhance their resistance to stress, and improve the quality and storage properties of agricultural products.
