Increases soil fertility by fixing aerial nitrogen into soil 20-40%.
The bacteria also produce, growth-promoting substance phytohormones like Auxins, IAA, GA, Cytokinin’s & Vitamins that have beneficial effects on crop growth.
Specification
Active Ingredients
Azotobacter choococcum (Min. 1x108 CFU/ml for Liquid Based & min. 5x107 CFU/ gm for Carrier Based)
Mode of Action
Multiplex AZAB helps to improve soil fertility by fixing the atmospheric nitrogen into the soil in the form of ammonium/ nitrate ions through some metabolic action of A. chroococcum in soil.
For Carrier-based (Granular – Powder): 4-5 kg/ acre
Seeds treatment: Mix 100 ml/ 500 gm AZAB in 500 ml rice starch (Ganji)/ 500 ml jaggery syrup and coat the seeds required for one acre. Keep the treated seeds for shade drying for an hour before sowing.
Seedling Root Dip: Mix 250 ml AZAB in 50-liter water and dip the roots of seedlings for 10 to 20 min before sowing.
Nursery: Mix 1 kg or 200 ml AZAB with 10 kg dried farmyard manure/ Multiplex Annapurna and apply for nursery which has seedlings for one acre.
Main Field/ Soil Application: 4 to 5 kg or 2 litres of AZAB mix with 100 kg dried farmyard manure/ Multiplex Annapurna then broadcast to 1 acre of land.
Drip Irrigation: Mix 2 liters AZAB in 200-liter water and irrigate through drip for 1 acre
Precautions
AZAB should not be mixed with insecticide, fungicide or weedicide.
