The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an organic fertilizer prepared using antagonistic microorganisms, fermentative microorganisms, synthetic microorganisms, and organic raw materials, and to an organic fertilizer manufactured by the manufacturing method. The present invention has the technical feature wherein a powder-type organic raw material characterized by being produced via a contaminant removal step, a sterilization step, a microorganism culture medium preparation step, and a microorganism additive solution preparation step are subjected to a mixing step, a fermentation step, and a drying step. The present invention is effective for soil improvement, crop growth, and disease and pest control. In addition, fertilizer produced through the technical solution contains primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, conjugated enzymes, antibiotics, bioactive substances and inducers, etc., and thus not only does not contaminate the soil, but is also effective for ecosystem restoration, and for increasing profits through the production of safe organic crops.

Materials and methods for improving plant traits and for providing plant benefits are provided. In some embodiments, the materials, and methods employing the same, can comprise endophytes.
