NPK + Mycorrhiza

CFU of the Product:

5X 10^8 CFU with 60 Spores per ml for liquid formulation.

1X 10^8 CFU with 30 Spores per gram for carrier formulation.

Content:

Azotobacter, Azospirillum, PSB, KMB and Mycorrhiza (VAM).

Mode of action:

Azotobacter in NPK liquid formulation increase nitrogen uptake, produce plant growth hormones (IAA, GA), vitamins enhancement in uptake NO3, NH4, H2PO4, K and Fe. Azospirillum is an associative micro aerophillic nitrogen fixer. This bacterium induce the plant foods to secrete and mucilase which aerate low oxygen environment and helps to fix atmospheric nitrogen. PSB possess the activity to solubilize the Phosphorous by secreting organic acids (Gluconic acid, formic acid, glutomic acid, lactic acid, citrate, malic acid) lower soil pH and turns unavailable forms of soil phosphate to available form. Some of hydroxyl acids ch-e-late Ca, Al, Fe and Mg resulting in effective availability of soil and reduced phosphate dose by 50%. KMB to mobilize potash available in soil of the plant activates the numerous enzymes system involved in formation of organic substances and protein compounds.

Mycorrhizae are obligate and saprophytic in nature requires a living host for their survival. Commonly divided into three major groups Ectomycorrhiza, Endomycorrhiza and Ectendomycorrhiza. Ectomycorrhiza and Endomycorrhiza are important in agriculture, fungi penetrate into the plant cells, producing balloon like vesicles. The structure of the arbuscules increase the contact surface between the hyphal and the cell cytoplasm to facilitate the transfer of nutrients between them and VAM fungi produce the glycoprotein glomalin which may be one of the major stores of carbon in the soil, management of VAM fungi enhances phosphate uptake and mobilize immobile micronutrients like Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Bo, Mo. Besides these to impart resistance to plant against drought, soil borne fungal pathogens and nematodes. There is no septum in their hyphae. The fungi hyphae penetrate in to cortex layer of the root and form the hyphal organ “vesicles” and “arbusculus”. The interaction between AM fungi and plants is generally mutualism based upon nutrient exchange.

NPK + VAM Bio Fertilizer Benefits:

It is 100% organic and ideal for organic farming.
Improves the yield by 10 to 30%.
Reduce the dependency on chemical fertilizer by 25 to 50% and hence reduces input cost.
Can Fix 20-250 kg Nitrogen / ha / year is fixed from atmosphere.
Mobilizes and solubilizes phosphorous and potash which otherwise remain unused.
Apart from nitrogen fixation, growth promoting substance production (IAA), disease resistance and drought tolerance are some of the additional benefits.
Improve plant root growth and development.
Produce some antifungal substance which inhibits the growth of some soil fungi like Aspergillus, Fusarium, Curvularia, Alternaria, Helminthosporium, Fusarium etc.
Make plants healthier and increase their immunity power to fight various diseases.
Helps in better development of white roots.
Effective in overcoming the stress condition like drought, disease incidence and deficiency of nutrients.
Helpful in controlling various roots related diseases.
Also work as soil conditioner and hence no need for other soil conditioners.
Improves the moisture holding capacity of soil.
Makes soil soft and porous.
Helpful in maintaining right pH of the soil.
Better utilization of organic and inorganic fertilizer and hence reduces the wastage of fertilizers.

Target crops:

All Crops like Wheat, Paddy, Maize, Cotton, Potato, Millets, Vegetables, Grapes, Banana, Pomegranate, Oranges, Plantation crops, Fiber and Oil producing crops, Plantation crop like Mango, tea, Coffee, Areca and others .

Method of application and dosage:

Seed Treatment – Mix 4 – 5 ml NPK + VAM Bio Fertilizer in 50 – 100 ml of water, mix thoroughly with the seed and shade drying for 1 hour before sowing the treated seed.
Seedlings Treatment– Mix 4 – 5 ml NPK + VAM Bio Fertilizer per lit. of water. A solution of NPK + VAM Bio Fertilizer is prepared; seedlings are dipped in this solution for about 30 minutes before transplanting.
Soil Application – Mix 500ml – 1.0 lit/acre of Bio Fertilizer NPK + VAM in 40-50 kg of well decomposed F.Y.M/compost or vermi compost or field soil and broadcast in the field before sowing or broadcast up to 45 days after sowing in standing crop and irrigate the field.
Drip irrigation – Mix NPK + VAM 500 ml – 1.0 lit /Acre in 100 liter of water and irrigate the field through drip irrigation.

Compatibility:

Friendly with bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.
Don’t mix with chemical Bactericide (antibiotic).
