Ideally, the more closely farmers apply (natural) biological fertilizer products to seeding time, the better. It is important to note that a soil will benefit at any given time by increasing the beneficial /bacteria and microbial activity. There are however, 3 critically important times during the growing season that can significantly improve performance. They are: Late March-Mid April (This is the emergent or seeding application designed to warm the soil, increase germination and invigorate the soil activity to provide higher utilization and conversions of all applied materials). Late May-Mid June ( This period represents the beginning phase of the maturation cycle for most plants and is an excellent time to correct nutrient tissue deficiencies and prepare the plant for possible stress periods related to heat and drought conditions). Early September-Mid November ( This is the phase when the soil is being cleansed from the previous seasons chemical inputs and also the time when organic matter residue is being converted to plant usable humus for the following growing season. Each of the above time frames serves a significant window of opportunity for the upcoming phase of the growing season and benefits will be achieved by any or all individual phases.

How does artificial fertilizer work to enhance plant growth?

Fertilizers, artificial or natural are a source of nitrogen compounds (and other mineral salts) that plants need to grow. Thus if fertilizer is supplied to the plant roots in the quantities they need, these plants will grow and produce more than plants growing in soils where there is not enough of these nutrients. Note however that over application of fertilizer will harm the plants, farmers need to analyze their soil before applying fertilizer so that they only apply the amount needed. This maximizes plant growth and minimizes the cost.
