Helps to mobilize the potassium from soil to Plants, thereby promoting photosynthesis and transpiration.
Improves tolerance of plants of various stress/drought.
Reported to enhance the yield of 10 to 20%.
Application of 25% of chemical potassium fertilizer can be reduced
This bacteria survives in the pH range of 5 to 11 and temperature range of 35 to 42 oC.
Multiplex Shakti is recommended for all types of soils (highly acidic as well as alkaline) and all types of crops.
Specification
Active Ingredients
Frateuria aurentia (Min. 1x108 CFU /ml for Liquid Based & min. 5x107 CFU /gm for Carrier Based)
Mode of Action
Multiplex SHAKTI utilizes carbon source from the soil or from root exudates and mobilizes the fixed and unused potash content in the soil into its simpler & ionic form which gets readily available for the better growth of plants.
Target Crops
All crops.
Dosage & Methods of Application
For liquid-based: 2 litres/ acre
For Carrier-based (Granular – Powder): 4 to 5 kg/acre
Seeds Treatment: Mix 100 ml or 500 gm SHAKTI 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 SHAKTI in 50-liter water and dip the roots of seedlings for 10 to 20 min. before sowing.
Nursery: Mix 1 kg or 200 ml SHAKTI 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 SHAKTI mix with 100 kg dried farmyard manure/Multiplex Annapurna then broadcast to 1 acre of land.
Drip Irrigation: Mix 2 liters SHAKTI in 200-liter water and irrigate through drip for 1 acre
Precautions
SHAKTI should not be mixed with insecticide, fungicide or weedicide.

Potassium (K)
Role of Potassium
It is absorbed by plants in larger amounts than any other mineral element except nitrogen and in some cases, calcium.
It helps in protein synthesis, photosynthesis.
Improves overall plant vigor and disease resistance
Encourages root growth and fruit quality.
Enhances drought and cold tolerance
Second most used nutrient
Deficiency of Potassium
Yellow translucent spots on older leaves and marginal chlorosis
