There has been a growing awareness, worldwide, that exploitive and intensive agricultural practices, including the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, have resulted in soil degradation and the loss of productivity, enviromental pollution, increased risk of food safety and quality, and problems of human health. M-Bio Technology, which consists mainly of genus Lactobacillus (Lactic acid bacteria), with a smaller number of Azospirillium sp, Solubilizing Phosphate Bacteria, and yeast, makes it possible to overcome these problems without using pollutants or agrochemicals. Research has shown that M-Bio cultures are highly effective in improving the chemical and physical properties of soil and enhancing the release of nutrients from organic matter, thus indirectly enhance the growth, health, and yield of crop
