Acetobacter Bio fertilizer
Bio fertilizers means the product containing carrier based (solid or liquid) living microorganisms which are agriculturally useful in terms of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization or nutrient mobilization, to increase the productivity of the soil and/or crop.
FARMA-GROW Acetobacter
- Acetobacter
Acetobacter Bio Fertilizer produces growth promoting substances as IAA (Indole Acetic Acid) and GA (Gibberllic acid) that promote root proliferation and increase the number of rootlets, resulting in uptake of mineral, phosphate solubilisation and water which promote cane growth and sugar recovery in the cane. While all nitrogen bacteria contain nitrogenous in order to utilize atmospheric nitrogen gas as a source of metabolic bio-synthesis, different nitrogen fixing microorganism and protect the oxygen – sensitive microorganism oxygen in different ways. - CFU – 1 x 10 ^8 per ml Liquid / 5×10^7 cell/g of powder
- Mode of action:
- FARMA-GROW Acetobacter is an obligatory aerobic nitrogen fixing bacteria which is capable for nitrogen fixing in roots, stems and leaves of sugarcane plants.
- FARMA-GROW Acetobacter has symbiotic relationship with many different plants like sugarcane and coffee by colonizing their internal tissues to promote the plant growth.
- FARMA-GROW Acetobacter, apparently responsible for this N2 fixation associated with the plants, has unique physiological properties for a diazotroph, such as tolerance to low pH, and high sugar and salt concentrations, lack of nitrate reductase, and nitrogenase activity which tolerates short term exposure to ammonia.
- Compatibility :
- Keep away from direct sunlight.
- Friendly with bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides
- Don’t mix with chemical Bactericide (antibiotic)

Method of application and dosage
- Sugar cane set treatment – Mix 1.0 lit. per in 100 lit. Of water for sugarcane sets dipping about 15 – 20 minutes before planting in the field.
- Soil application – Mix 500 Liter per acre in 50 kg well rotten FYM/compost/ vermi compost/field soil. Apply mixture at the time of planting and also use 55 – 60 days old sugarcane crop in furrows during earthling up operation.
- Drip Irrigation – Where drip irrigation is being used mix 500 – 1000 ml in 200 lit. of water and apply through drip in 1 acre.
- Foliar spray – Mix 5 – 10 ml per lit. of water for foliar spray in standing crop at evening or early morning time to get better results.
- Target Crops: Coffee, Beetroot, Sugarcane, Wheat, Paddy, Juar etc.
