Azotobacter Bio fertilizer
CFU – 1 x 10 ^8 per ml, 5 x 10^7 per gm
Mode of action:
FARMA-GROW Azotobacteris the free living nitrogen fixing aerobic bacterium.
It release ammonia into the soil and improve soil fertility, Production of phyto hormones like IAA, Gibberillins and Cytokinins.
Improves Production of some antifungal substances which inhibits the growth of soil harmful fungi like Alternaria, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Selerotia curvularia and Helminthosporium and result in lowering the disease incidence.
Target crops:
Wheat, Paddy, Maize, Cotton, Potato, Millets, Vegetables, Grapes, Banana, Pomegranate, Oranges, Plantation crops, Fiber and Oil producing crops.
FARMA-GROW Azotobacter Benefits to the crop:
(1) Improve seed germination percentage
(2) Increase number & length of shoot and root
(3) Help to fix nitrogen from atmosphere in continuous process
(4) Reduction in disease incidence
(5) More yield (25% to 30% in wheat, finger millets)
(6) Improve post-harvest seed quality in terms of germination
(7) Reduce 20% to 25 % Nitrogenous fertilizer requirements
Method of application and dosage for Liquid formulation
- Soil Application –Take 500ml – 1 lit.FARMA-GROW Azotobacter for one acre and mixed with 40-50 kg of well decomposed F.Y.M/compost or vermi compost or field soil and broadcast before sowing or broadcast up to 45 days after sowing in the standing crop and irrigate the field.
- Drip irrigation – Mix Bio Fertilizer Azotobactor 500 ml – 1.0 lit /acre in 100 litre of water and irrigate the field through drip irrigation.
Method of application and dosage for Powder/Granule
