Rhizobium

RHIZO

Rhizobium bacteria fulfills the nitrogen requirement of plant by forming root nodules on legume plants and enhance plant growth through atmospheric nitrogen fixation.

Rhizobium bacteria are a group of soil-dwelling bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of leguminous plants, such as peas, beans, and clover. This unique association enables Rhizobium to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form through a process called 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).

APPLICATION TIMING

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

BENEFITS OF RHIZO

It attaches to the roots of the leguminous plant and produces nodules.These nodules fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into ammonia that can be used by the plant for its growth and development.Forming a symbiotic relationship with leguminous plants, Rhizobium bacteria colonize the root nodules, creating a mutually beneficial partnership where the plant supplies carbohydrates, and the bacteria provide fixed nitrogen.The use of Rhizobium contributes to environmentally sustainable agriculture by promoting natural nitrogen fixation processes, reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertilizer production, and minimizing nitrogen run off.

RECOMMENDATIONIt can be use in leguminous crop and not in non-leguminous crop.Inoculate seeds or the planting area with the appropriate Rhizobium strain at the recommended dosage during early stages of crop development.Consider crop rotation strategies to maximize the impact of Rhizobium on soil health and nutrient cycling.

RECOMMENDED USAGE

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.
