[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Agricultural Technology Center of Miryang City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 16th that it will supply agricultural beneficial microorganisms that help improve soil and remove livestock odor until the end of this year.

Miryang City supplied about 580 tons of beneficial microorganisms to more than 1,500 farms from January to July. In the second half of the year, it plans to supply about 550 tons to more than 1,500 farms that apply for supply from August 18 to December 11.

According to the Miryang City Agricultural Technology Center, beneficial microorganisms help improve soil by decomposing organic matter in the soil and secreting enzymes, and lactic acid bacteria also have the effect of inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. It is best to use agricultural beneficial microorganisms immediately upon receipt, and if storage is unavoidable, it is recommended to store them in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

Min Kyung-hee, head of the Agricultural Support Division, said, “We will continue to supply agricultural beneficial microorganisms to establish an eco-friendly agricultural foundation in the agricultural field and do our best to contribute to increasing farmers' income and strengthening competitiveness.”
