Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

What is the relationship between organic matter and root zone microbiology?

Organic matter is a vital component of root zone microbiology as it serves as the primary source of nutrients for microorganisms. As organic matter decomposes, it undergoes transformation by soil microorganisms into humus, a stable organic compound that enriches the soil with nutrients and enhances its structure.

This decomposition process releases nutrients in forms accessible to plants, thus maintaining soil fertility and supporting sustained plant growth.
