A Little Understood Fact in Farming
The unseen, unnoticed, humble work forces beneath the
soil, is actually the biggest factor in determining the
growing success and profitability of the farming industry.
These work forces requires no cost and are working 24 x 7
and are God-given.
Farmers should only learn to recognize them so farmers
will be able to give them their proper living and working
environment.
Who are they?

Who are they?
Microbes in Soil
Like Rhizobium and
Azospirillum bacteria
What is their great importance in farming and for farmers?

AGRIMATE® Feels-in the GAP
How?
Through Microbial Inoculant (M.I.)
Consisting of mixed cultures of beneficial and naturally
occurring microbial organisms that can be applied as
inoculants to increase the microbial diversity of soils and
plants

The Important Role of Microbes in Farming
• Plants are unable to take from the soil
the nutrition they need without microbes
working in the soil
Plants
• As they eat, microbes create foods like
nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen,
phosphorus, potassium and trace
minerals for our plants
• Microbes convert the NPK and minerals
in the soil into a form our plants
can use to grow
• Microbes’ nutrition comes from
organic matter

Microbes, Organic Matter and NPK Relationship
Plant
• Microbes are the
processor of element
Nitrogen in NPK to
convert it to
“food/nutrient” that
plants will use for
rapid growth
Nitrogen in NPK
Raw plants’ food
that needs to be
processed or fixed
by bacteria in soil

Microbes’ Food
www.unlifoods.com
Why the Need for External Microbes Source?
(Where did the original soil microbes go?)
The negative effects of the long decades of use and
dependency on inorganic fertilizer:
• Prolonged high ‘N’ rates from NPK fertilizers according to a
study may turn soil acidic (pH level: 4.8 – 5.2)
• Prolonged high ‘N’ rates from NPK fertilizers can kill or
reduce the population of beneficial microorganism (bacteria)
in soil
• Soil trace minerals depletion – minerals are as well essential
for plant growth
Required soil pH level in order for bacteria to process NPK and other minerals
for plant use as food is between 6 – 9 pH.

Other Environmental Concerns
• Prolonged high ‘N’ rates from NPK fertilizers according to a study,
may result to generation of ‘nitrosamine’, a carcinogenic chemical
for animals and humans alike
• “The nitrogen-rich compounds found in fertilizer runoff are the
primary cause of serious oxygen depletion in many parts of the
ocean, especially in coastal zones. The resulting lack of
dissolved oxygen is greatly reducing the ability of these areas
to sustain oceanic fauna.[52] Visually, water may become
cloudy and discolored (green, yellow, brown, or red).” –

Traditional Farming and its Negative Effects
NPK:
• N = Nitrogen
• P = Phosphorus
• K = Potassium
Composition:
E.g.: 14/14/14 = 14% per
volume/sack of N, P and K
Pointers:
• 14% of 50kg = 0.14 x 50 = 7kg each for N, P and K or a Total of
21kg. There is a missing 29kg.
• 29kg is the binding material, which mostly is calcium carbonate or
“apog” from lime stones as a component in making cement
• Prolonged use results into hardening of soil that can prevent the
passage of oxygen, decreasing nutrient absorptions & soil acidity

AGRIMATE® Microbial Inoculant's Benefits
• Improved soil structure, leading to better aeration and water
holding capacity.
• Improved nutrients availability, leading to lower fertilizer
requirements and higher utilization of applied inputs
• Lower disease pressure by developing a disease-suppressive
soil and hence lowering pesticides dependency for healthier
produce
• Increased YIELD and farmers’ earning!

AGRIMATE® Foliar Fertilizer Benefits
• Improves nutrient uptake from soil and its utilization in the
plant body
• Activates and balances plants hormonal activities, resulting to
better growth and yield
• Help enhance the plants’ immune system
• Assists in increasing the yield, size, flavor/taste and overall
quality of fruits
• Makes crop matures early for early harvest and gain
• Inhibits the growth of pathogens (microbial) population, thus
preventing disease development

Microbial Inoculant (M.I.) Application
Type of Crop
Ratio
Rice
1 – 2 packs / hectare
Vegetable
2 packs / hectare
1. Roll down or plow the remaining rice straws that are still
standing.
2. Disperse or scatter them all and DO NOT BURN the straws.
3. Soak the straws by water up to 1-cm above it.
4. Mix M.I. and use 7-8 knapsack sprayer and spray the soaked
straws.
5. After 10 – 15 days, repeat the same procedure.
• Mix 1 pack of soil conditioner (MI) on a 20-liter container.
• Put 2-3 liters of solution into 1 (one) knapsack sprayer.
• Repeat the procedure until you have sprayed the entire hectare.
