Bio NPK Biofertilizer
CFU – 5 x 10^7 per gm, 1 x 10^8 per ml
Mode of action:
FARMA GROW in NPK 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.
Benefit to the crop and soil:
• Increase utilization of atmospheric nitrogen.
• Solublization of unavailable form of phosphate.
• Mobilize the fix and left potash in the soil.
• It increases plant drought tolerance under drought condition.
• Safe, non-toxic to humans, plants, animals and environment.
• Increase 20 – 30% yield and quality of the produce
• Improve physical and chemical properties of soil with aeration and water retention
• Reduced disease infestation up to some extent
• Cost saving and reduce dosage per acre of nitrogenous, phosphorus and potash fertilizer
• Improve coloration, appearance and shelf life of perishable fruits & vegetables
