📊 The Cost Saving Math
Phosphate fertilizers (DAP/SSP) cost ₹4,000–6,000 per acre per season. VAM 100 colonises the root zone and unlocks the "fixed" phosphorus already in your soil — reducing your DAP/SSP need by 40–60%. That is a saving of ₹1,600–3,600 per acre, every season, on a ₹1,000 investment. ROI: 2x–4x minimum.
🌿 Product Overview
VAM 100 is a premium, high-concentration bio-fertilizer based on Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM). Unlike standard chemical fertilizers that merely add nutrients to the soil, VAM 100 acts as a biological "root extender."
Formulated as a 100% water-soluble powder, this ultra-potent 100g pack delivers a massive load of infective propagules (spores and active hyphae). Once applied, the fungus establishes a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, penetrating the root cells and extending microscopic filaments (hyphae) deep into the soil—far beyond the reach of the plant's natural root system.
Technical Name: Bio-Fertilizer – Mycorrhiza (VAM) Water Soluble Powder | Concentration: High Potency Formula (6000 IP/gm) | Dosage: 100g Per Acre, Pack 1 Kg
🔬 Mode of Action: The Symbiotic Network
-
Colonization: Upon application, the VAM spores germinate and penetrate the plant root cortex, forming internal structures (arbuscules) where nutrient exchange occurs.
-
Extension: The fungus grows an extensive network of microscopic threads (hyphae) into the surrounding soil.
-
Mobilization: These hyphae release enzymes that dissolve "fixed" or unavailable nutrients (especially Phosphorus) and transport them back to the plant.
-
Exchange: In return, the plant provides the fungus with sugars (carbon) created through photosynthesis. This mutual partnership boosts the health of both the soil and the crop.
💡 Key Benefits
1. Unlocks "Fixed" Phosphorus
Phosphate fertilizers (DAP/SSP) often get fixed in the soil and become unavailable to plants. VAM 100 dissolves this fixed Phosphorus and transports it directly into the root system, significantly reducing the need for additional P-fertilizer inputs.
2. Dramatically Expands Root Reach
The hyphal network extends 2–3 metres beyond the plant root zone, accessing nutrients and moisture that roots alone cannot reach. This is especially critical during dry spells or in compacted soils.
3. Drought & Salinity Resistance
The fungal network can access water from micro-pores in the soil that plant roots are too large to enter. This biological "water pipe" system helps crops withstand dry spells and reduces transplant shock.
4. Improves Soil Structure (Glomalin Production)
VAM fungi produce a unique glycoprotein called Glomalin. This substance acts like a "soil glue," binding soil particles into stable aggregates. This improves soil porosity, aeration, and water-holding capacity over time.
5. Root System Protection
By colonizing the root zone, beneficial VAM fungi create a biological barrier that prevents harmful soil-borne pathogens (like nematodes and root rot fungi) from attacking the roots.
🚜 Application Methodology
-
Drip Irrigation (Recommended): Mix 100g of powder in a bucket of water to form a slurry. Add this to your Venturi or fertilizer tank and run it during the irrigation cycle. Ensure the solution reaches the root zone.
-
Drenching: Dissolve 100g in 200 Litres of water. Drench 50–100ml of this solution at the base of each plant (root zone).
-
Seedling Dip: Prepare a slurry of VAM 100 in water. Dip seedling roots for 15–30 minutes before transplanting.
-
Seed Coating: Mix VAM 100 powder with a small quantity of water to create a paste. Coat seeds evenly before sowing.
Dosage: 100g per acre | Pack Size: 1 Kg
⚠️ Precautions & Compatibility
-
Fungicides: Do NOT mix with chemical fungicides (e.g., Carbendazim, Mancozeb) as they will kill the VAM fungus. Allow a gap of 7–10 days between fungicide application and VAM application.
-
Fertilizers: Can be mixed with organic fertilizers and mild NPK solutions. Avoid mixing with highly acidic or alkaline chemicals.
-
Moisture: Ensure sufficient soil moisture at the time of application to help the spores germinate.
