TCM / Beneficial Microorganisms are classified as a biofertilizer. Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers that consist of living microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. These microorganisms enhance nutrient availability and promote plant growth by establishing a symbiotic relationship with plants.
Biofertilizers also help improve soil fertility and structure over time. They promote the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms, enhance nutrient uptake by plants, and stimulate root development. This results in healthier plants with improved resistance to pests and diseases
