RHIZOBIUM

Rhizobium bacteria meet the nitrogen needs of plants by forming root nodules on legume plants and promoting growth by fixing atmospheric nitrogen.

Rhizobium bacteria are soil-dwelling microorganisms that establish a symbiotic relationship with the roots of leguminous plants like peas, beans, and clover. This partnership allows Rhizobium to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can utilize, through a process known as nitrogen fixation.

Per Acre Required = Minimum 2 capsules, Recommended 2 or 3 (Over Dose Has No Side Effects)

PACKAGING

packet contains 2 or 6 capsules.1 box contains 20 packets (40 or 120 capsules).1 carton contains 5 boxes (200 or 600 capsules).

● During soil preparation.
● For seed treatment.
● Within 3 days of the Full Moon each month.

Rhizobium bacteria attach to the roots of leguminous plants and form nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen, converting it into ammonia for the plant’s growth and development. By establishing a symbiotic relationship, Rhizobium colonizes these nodules, creating a mutually beneficial partnership where the plant provides carbohydrates, and the bacteria supply fixed nitrogen. The utilization of Rhizobium supports environmentally sustainable agriculture by enhancing natural nitrogen fixation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to fertilizer production, and minimizing nitrogen runoff.
RECOMMENDATION
Rhizobium bacteria are effective in leguminous crops but not in non-leguminous crops. To utilize Rhizobium, inoculate seeds or the planting area with the appropriate strain at the recommended dosage during the early stages of crop development. Incorporating crop rotation strategies can further enhance the benefits of Rhizobium, improving soil health and promoting efficient nutrient cycling.

Minimum 1 capsule per acre, with 2 to 3 capsules recommended for optimal results.
*Overdosing has no side effects.

Efficiency character:

(Rhizobium sp.)

The efficiency character of individual microorganisms to be determined as mentioned in case of individual biofertilizers through quantitative estimation methods as per FCO guidelines.

The encapsulation technology (Biocapsule) will not interfere with the efficiency character of the strains.

Note:

Do not mix chemical fertilizers with biofertilizers, which is likely to reduce the microbial population of biofertilizers.Biofertilizers are preferred over chemical fertilizers because they are not harmful.Biofertilizers are carrier based inoculants containing beneficial, efficient and effective microorganisms which help in enhancing the soil fertility.
