Soybean meal as fertilizer

Soybean meal can be used as fertilizer, but it needs to be composted and fermented before use. This will make it easier for the soybean meal to exert its fertilizer effect. Fermented soybean meal contains a variety of beneficial bacteria such as Bacillus and yeast. These bacteria can inhibit the development and growth of insect eggs in the soil, thereby preventing and controlling various soil-borne diseases of crops.

Soybean meal can also be made into flower fertilizer because it contains a variety of fungi that can significantly improve the growth environment of plants. Therefore, it is more suitable for growing some plants that are afraid of pests, such as cacti, money trees, dragon blood trees, etc.
