Bio Fertilizers

We offer rhizobium bacteria. Rhizobium is a soil habitat bacterium, which can able to colonize the legume roots and fixes the atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically. The morphology and physiology of rhizobium will vary from free-living condition to the bacteroid of nodules. They are the most efficient biofertilizer as per the quantity of nitrogen fixed concerned. They have seven genera and highly specific to form nodule in legumes, referred as cross inoculation group.   rhizobium inoculant was first made in usa and commercialized by private enterprise in 1930s and the strange situation at that time has been chronicled by fred (1932). Initially, due to absence of efficient bradyrhizobial strains in soil, soybean inoculation at that time resulted in bumper crops but incessant inoculation during the last four decades by us farmers has resulted in the build up of a plethora of inefficient strains in soil whose replacement by efficient strains of bradyrhizobia has become an insurmountable problem.

We offer azotobacter biofertilizer. Of the several species of azotobacter, a. Chroococcum happens to be the dominant inhabitant in arable soils capable of fixing n2 (2-15 mg n2 fixed /g of carbon source) in culture media. The bacterium produces abundant slime which helps in soil aggregation. The numbers of a. Chroococcum in indian soils rarely exceeds 105/g soil due to lack of organic matter and the presence of antagonistic microorganisms in soil.

We offer azospirillum biofertilizer. Azospirillum lipoferum and a. Brasilense (spirillum lipoferum in earlier literature) are primary inhabitants of soil, the rhizosphere and intercellular spaces of root cortex of graminaceous plants. They perform the associative symbiotic relation with the graminaceous plants.   the bacteria of genus azospirillum are  n2 fixing organisms isolated from the root and above ground parts of a variety of crop plants. They are gram negative, vibrio or spirillum having abundant accumulation of polybetahydroxybutyrate (70 %) in cytoplasm.

Five species of azospirillum have been described to date a. Brasilense, a. Lipoferum, a. Amazonense, a. Halopraeferens and a. Irakense.   the organism proliferates under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions but it is preferentially micro-aerophilic in the presence or absence of combined nitrogen in the medium. Apart from nitrogen fixation, growth promoting substance production (iaa), disease resistance and drought tolerance are some of the additional benefits due to azospirillum inoculation.

We offer phosphate solubilizing microorganisms(psm). Several soil bacteria and fungi, notably species of pseudomonas, bacillus, penicillium, aspergillus etc. Secrete organic acids and lower the ph in their vicinity to bring about dissolution of bound phosphates in soil. Increased yields of wheat and potato were demonstrated due to inoculation of peat based cultures of bacillus polymyxa and pseudomonas striata. Currently, phosphate solubilizers are manufactured by agricultural universities and some private enterprises and sold to farmers through governmental agencies. These appear to be no check on either the quality of the inoculants marketed in india or the establishment of the desired organisms in the rhizosphere.
