Many of the same factors that impact a crop’s growth also impact microbial activity. Soil type is one example that can influence microbial activity. Things like the pH levels, moisture levels and oxygenation of your soil are direct influences for crop growth and microbial activity.

Ensuring that your crops are rich in nutrients like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) is a crucial aspect of a healthy farm. But oftentimes, most of the N, P and K applied to the soil is never absorbed by the crop and does not have a chance to improve crop performance.
