Microbes do not produce nutrients, they extract them from the air (N) or the soil (all others). Only with N to they actually add nutrients to the system, and usually at a rate far less than needed for modern agriculture. Actual fertilizers add nutrients to the system, so biofertilizer is a marketing misnomer. Bioextractors would be more accurate.

For too many years if you promoted soil health you were condemed as being anti GMO. I have been raising continous non GMO corn with no insecticide and no rootworm problem by using a biostimulant.
