Rhizobium

CFU – 1 x 10^10 per ml

• Mode of action:
  • It can suppress the growth of various phytopathogen in variety of crops, competing for nutrients and space, limiting available iron supply through producing siderophores, producing lytic enzymes and antibiosis.
  • The microbial inoculants when used as composite inoculums exhibited maximum efficiency in the suppression of diseases with the characteristics increase in chlorophyll contents, total number of leaves, shoot height and facilitating crop yield.
  • An addition mechanism by which PGPR can reduced plant diseases is bio control agent parasitism on pathogens, mostly fungi.
  • Digestion of the parasite cell wall is accomplished by several excreated enzyme including proteases, chitinases and glucanases. Individually, all these enzymes display antifungal activity, but they often act synergistically with antibiotics.

Target Crops:

Grapes, Banana, Pomegranate, Guava, Mango, Citrus, Chilly, Tomato, Brinjal, Okra, Tea, Coffee, Plantation crop, Medicinal and Aromatic crops, Cotton, Maize, Paddy, Wheat.

Method of application and dosage:

Soil application: Mix 100 ml of Rhizobium for one acre in 50 kg of Fym/compost/Vermi compost/field soil at the time of final field preparation and also broadcast in the standing crop 30 – 35 days after sowing or transplanting.

Drip irrigation : Dilute 100 ml of Rhizobium in 100 litre of good quality of water and use this mixture for 1 acre through drip irrigation.
