? Place yourselves in the position of the crops for a mo-
ment. If you are the crop and you would like some microorganisms to enter
your sphere, what kind of microorganism would you prefer? ose grown at
ever-changing outside temperature or at factory-ixed temperature? Say you
need nutrients; would you prefer nutrients contained in inputs made at room
temperature or at an artiicially-warmed temperature? 
Microorganisms are super-sensitive to temperature. Some people say 32°C
(89.6
℉
) is the optimum temperature for culturing microorganisms. Is that re-
ally so? Do you think if 32°C (89.6
℉
) is maintained, then that liquid fertilizer
would contain a whole variety of different microorganisms? No; only those that
like 32°C (89.6
℉
) would thrive. Books on soil microorganisms say psy-
chrophiles like the temperature of around 10°C (50
℉
) and psychrotrophiles

prefer 22°C (71.6
℉
). Only the mesophiles like it around 32°C (89.6
℉
). er-
mophiles thrive at 65°C (149
℉
) and hyperthermophiles love 95°C (203
℉
).
Come to think of it, something clearly looks awry. e period when the plants
are at 32°C (89.6
℉
) is only for a short while during the summer; and that too
in the day. Regardless of the outside environment, whether it was spring, sum-
mer, autumn or winter, you cultured the microorganisms at 32°C (89.6
℉
).
Would this product really beneit the plants? Or has it effectively excluded
many microorganisms that prefer temperature ranges outside 32°C (89.6
℉
)? 
Now you should become skeptical about the microbiology theory that you
have always believed in. en at what temperature should you culture mi-
croorganisms? What is the best temperature to grow microorganisms so that
you can produce an input that is helpful for your crop? You search through all
sorts of books on microbiology, ask the experts but there is no clear answer.
Your best course of action once again is to ask nature. Do as nature does. Cul-
ture your microorganisms in conditions that are the same as the conditions
your crops are in. You do not need temperature sensors for this. Keeping the
temperature constant when culturing microbes is actually an unscientiic and
incorrect method. Keeping them at ambient temperature is the easiest and the
most effective method. Again, it is common sense. You want to cultivate mi-
crobes that can beneit your crops; then you should
