When applied to the soil, the microorganisms in Microzyme initiate a colonization process, primarily in the root zone of plants. The colonization process will last for 3 to 5 weeks depending on application dose, soil type, fertility, humidity and temperature. When the microorganisms have established themselves, the soil will contain an abundant variety of aerobic, anaerobic and facultative microorganisms common to fertile soils. Through this colonization process, the soil will recover the live and active part of its organic matter and will have better physical and chemical characteristics.
