Aids its host plant in several different ways besides nitrogen fixation.
Increases crop yield by about 20%
Specification
Active Ingredients
Acetobacter diazotrophicus (Min. 1x108 CFU / ml for Liquid Based & min. 5x107 CFU /gm for Carrier Based)
Mode of Action
Assimilates atmospheric nitrogen in the soil (biological nitrogen fixation) thus helps us to reduce the quantity of application in chemical nitrogenous fertilizers. The bacterium is also known for stimulating plant growth.
For Carrier-based (Granular – Powder): 4 to 5 kg/acre
Seeds treatment: Mix 100ml or 500 gm MADHOO 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 MADHOO in 50-liter water and dip the roots of seedlings for 10 to 20 min. before sowing.
Nursery: Mix 1 kg or 200 ml MADHOO 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 liters of MADHOO mix with 100 kg dried farmyard manure/ Multiplex Annapurna then broadcast to 1 acre of land.
Drip Irrigation: Mix 2 liters of MADHOO in 200 liters of water and irrigate through drip for 1 acre.
