Product Description
Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) are beneficial bacteria capable of solubilizing inorganic phosphorus from insoluble compounds. P-solubilization ability of rhizosphere microorganisms is considered to be one of the most important traits associated with plant phosphate nutrition.
Benefits
- Phosphorous solublization and mobilization,
- Stimulates plant growth,
- Rreduces the use of phosphatic based fertilizer upto 20-30 %, and
- Increases the tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses,
- Results in higher yields.
Dosage
Mix 2 -2.5 g / kg of seeds in required volume of water and add a small lump of jaggery, mix well, shade dry (15- 20 mins) and ready for sowing.
Dissolve 1 kg in 20 -30 liters of water and dip the seedlings for 30 minutes before planting.
Suspension of one kg in 10 to 15 litre of water for treating of seedlings for one acre.
