SugarPlus - An Introduction SugarPlus’s active ingredient is a very significant symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium for sugarcane. It was first discovered in high yielding varieties of sugarcane grown in Brazil. As per international research findings up to 40% biological nitrogen fixation in sugarcane is due to these bacteria. It addition to its nitrogen fixation it also secretes useful growth promoting hormones such as Indole Acetic Acid (IAA). Crops This fertilizer is specially made for Sugarcane. Direction of Use Sett Treatment: Dosage - 5 kg/hector (5 kg formulation dissolved in 250 lt water). Procedure 1: Soak the sugarcane setts for 1 hr in the above mixture. Take the setts out and incubate overnight or 1-2 hours before planting. Please remember that the setts to be treated with SugarPlus should not have been pre-treated with fungicides or any kind of chemical pesticides. OR Procedure 2: Mix 5 kg. SugarPlus in 150-200 Kg farm yard or organic manure or soil and broadcast it over one hectare of land at the time of last ploughing or before irrigation.

BioN-Plus - An Introduction BioN-Plus is a Nitrogen fixing bio-fertilizer. Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all plants. BioN-Plus has highly efficient nitrogen fixing bacteria of Azospirillum species. Azospirillum lipoferum is a very useful soil and root bacterium. It is an associative symbiotic Nitrogen fixing bacteria. It is found in the soil around plant roots and root surface. When Azospirillum lipoferum is added to the soil, it multiplies in millions and can supply 20-40 kg of nitrogen per hectare per season. It also produces growth-promoting substances like Indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins, and promotes root proliferation. It increases the rootlet density and root branching resulting in the increased uptake of mineral and water. Plant growth promoting substance like pantothenic acid, thiamine and niacin are produced by Azospirillum lipoferum in large quantities. These substances improve the plant growth and yield. Crops Suitable for crops like Rice, Sugarcane, Maize, Wheat, Barley, Bajra, Ragi,

Sorghum, Turmeric, all Fruits, Vegetables, horticulture crops, etc. Direction of Use Soil Application: Dosage – 2 to 4 kg / acre »

BioP-Plus - An Introduction BioP-Plus is a phosphate solubilizing bio-fertilizer. Phosphorus is a major nutrient for plants inducing vigorous growth and also contributing to their disease resistance. Phosphorous helps in root formation and plant growth. The plants utilize only 10–15% of phosphate applied. The balance 85 – 90% remains in insoluble form in the soil. The BioP-Plus has highly efficient phosphate solubilizing microorganism PSM (Bacillus coagulans bacteria) that grow and secrete organic acids, which dissolve this unavailable phosphate into soluble form and make it available to the plants. Thus, the residual phosphate fertilizers in the soil can be well utilized and external application can be optimized. Crops Field crops – Cotton, Paddy, Sorghum, Sunflower, Groundnut, Potato, Mustard, Cumin, Pulses (Moong, Tuver, Chickpeas), Soybean, Sugarcane, Sunflower, etc. Fruit Crops – Banana, Mango, Grapes, Guava, Sapota, Pomergranate, Custard Apple, Orange, Citrus Fruits, Coconut, etc. Vegetable Crops – Tomato, Chilly, Brinjal, Onion, Lady’s finger, etc. Plantation Crops – Coffee, Tea, Cardamom, Horticulture plants, Floriculture, Medicinal Plants, Home Gardening etc. Direction of Use Soil Application: Dosage – 2 to 5 kg / acre Mix 3-4 kg of BioP-Plus with 50-100 kg soil or Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and broadcast it over one acre of land at the time of last ploughing or before irrigation.

For best results mix the recommended dosage of BioP-Plus with farmyard manure (cow dung) or organic manure, moisten and keep overnight before application to the field.

Dosage of BioSOL–P: For most crops 2 to 5 kg per acre of BioP-Plus will give good results. Pulses, onion, oil seeds and horticulture crops generally require larger dose of BioP-Plus (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria - PSB). Sugarcane crops require 8 to 10 kg of BioP-Plus per acre. Dosage may vary from soil to soil. High dosage is required in soils having low available phosphorus (P). Product Advantages » Application of BioP-Plus assures early & effective germination of seeds. » Increases the nutrient uptake efficiency of plants. » 5-25% crop yield may be increased. » Increases the efficiency of applied phosphorous fertilizers. » Eco-friendly product. » Nontoxic to human, animals, plants. Caution » Apply during evening in humid conditions. If conditions are dry, irrigate the land before application. » Chemical fertilizers/insecticides should not be sprayed before or after 5 -7 days for best results. » Do not mix with chemical fertilizers or insecticides at the time of application. » Store in cool place away from direct sun light and heat.

Azotobacter is free-living nonsymbiotic aerobic nitrogen fixing bacteria found in rhizosphere zone of many plants. Azotobacter produces a variety of growth promoting substances like Indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins (GA), Vitamin-B and antifungal substances. Another important characteristic of Azotobacter associate with crop improvement is excretion of ammonia in the rhizosphere in presence of root exudates. It fixes approximately 20-30 kg of biological nitrogen per hector per season.

RootBoost - An Introduction RootBoost is a Nitrogen fixing biofertilizer. RootBoost has highly efficient nitrogen fixing bacteria of Rhizobium species. Rhizobium is the most well known species of a group of symbiotic bacteria for atmospheric nitrogen fixation. These bacteria infect the roots of leguminous plants, leading to the formation of “lumps” or “Nodules” where the nitrogen fixation takes place. The bacterium also produces enzymes (nitrogenase) that supply a constant source of reduced nitrogen to the host plant.

Crops Leguminous plants (groundnut, pulses such as Moong, Tuver, Chickpeas, etc.), Potato.

BioCarry

BioCarry contains Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizas (VAM). VAM are symbiotic entophytic soil fungi, which colonize the roots of approximately 80% plants. VAM

fungi produce hyphae, which are microscopic tubes that colonize crop roots and grow out into the soil further than root hairs. Nutrients are taken up by the hyphae and carried back to the plant. This results into very efficient mobilization & uptake of fertilizers and other nutrients by plants. The VAM hyphae also help in retaining moisture around the root zone of plants. Crops This Fertilizer is suitable for all kind of crops. Direction of Use Soil Application: IPs./acre area)

Dosage – 250 g/acre OR 25 ml/acre. (Minimum dose: 2.5 lac

Procedure: Mix 250 gram of BioCarry with 100 kg soil or Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and broadcast it over one acre of land.

Note: For best results - before the application of BioCarry remove the weeds near the root of the plant. Why do plants need VAM? The VAM fungi are the best known for their ability to improve plant growth in low phosphate soils by exploiting large areas of soil and actively transporting the phosphate back to the plants. Other benefits to the plants supplied by the VAM colonization include increased absorption of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc, boron, sulphur, molybdenum and other elements that are transported back to the plant. Finally it helps in retaining moisture around rootzone of plants. Uses of VAM » Improves uptake of Phosphorus and Zinc. » Improves crop growth » Improves nitrogen fixation » pH tolerance » Imparts disease and pest resistance to plants » Increases uptake of immobile nutrients. » Imparts greater drought tolerance tp plants. » Conditioning of soil. Caution » Apply during evening in humid conditions. If conditions are dry, irrigate the land before application. » Chemical fertilizers / insecticides should not be sprayed before or after 5 -7 days for best results.

» Do not mix with chemical fertilizers or insecticides at the time of application. » Store in cool place away from direct sun light and heat. Other POTENCY: Propagules) Packing WEIGHT:
