Micro Nutrient VAM Fertilizer

CFU of the Product :

• 5X 10^8 CFU with 60 Spores per ml for liquid formulation.
• 1X 10^8 CFU with 30 Spores per gram for carrier formulation.

Mode of action :
Micro Nutrient Consortia produces organic acids and converting the insoluble zinc sulphide, Zinc oxide and Zinc carbonate into available Zn+ and insoluble form of ferrous, sulphur, Magnesium, Manganese, Cobalt and other nutrients to soluble form through lowering the soil Ph and breaking down the complexity and increase the crop yield and soil health.

This organic acids balance soil pH and helps in increasing microbial activities, which breaks down complex nutrients into smaller but available form of nutrients.

Mycorrhizae are obligate and saprophytic in nature requires a living host for their survival. Commonly divided into three major groups Ectomycorrhiza, Endomycorrhiza and Ectendomycorrhiza. Ectomycorrhiza and Endomycorrhiza are important in agriculture, fungi penetrate into the plant cells, producing balloon like vesicles. The structure of the arbuscules increase the contact surface between the hyphal and the cell cytoplasm to facilitate the transfer of nutrients between them and VAM fungi produce the glycoprotein glomalin which may be one of the major stores of carbon in the soil, management of VAM fungi enhances phosphate uptake and mobilize immobile micronutrients like Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Bo, Mo. Besides these to impart resistance to plant against drought, soil borne fungal pathogens and nematodes. There is no septum in their hyphae. The fungi hyphae penetrate in to cortex layer of the root and form the hyphal organ “vesicles” and “arbusculus”. The interaction between AM fungi and plants is generally mutualism based upon nutrient exchange.

Method of application and dosage :

• Seed Treatment – Mix 4 – 5 ml Micro Nutrient + VAM Consortia in 50 – 100 ml of water, mix thoroughly with the seed and shade drying for 1 hour before sowing the treated seed.
• Seedlings Treatment– Mix 4 – 5 ml Micro Nutrient + VAM Consortia per lit. of water. A solution of Micro Nutrient + Mycorrhiza Consortia is prepared; seedlings are dipped in this solution for about 30 minutes before transplanting.
• Soil Application – Mix 500ml – 1.0 lit/acre of Micro Nutrient + VAM Consortia in 40-50 kg of well decomposed F.Y.M/compost or vermi compost or field soil and broadcast in the field before sowing or broadcast up to 45 days after sowing in standing crop and irrigate the field.
• Drip irrigation – Mix Micro Nutrient + VAM Consortia 1.0 lit /Acre in 100 liter of water and irrigate the field through drip irrigation.

Compatibility :

• Friendly with bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.
