Technology Details:
Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria play crucial role in dissolution or insoluble source of phosphorus through secretion of organic acids and other metabolites. When applied to soil, it converts insoluble form of P to soluble form and make it available to the plant. The liquid formulation developed has the following features
- Formulation contains highly efficient P solubilizing bacteria that can be used in different types of soils.
- Inoculation of P solubilizer helps to augment 15 to 20 kg P2O5 ha-1. Keep soils biologically active and helps in soil health maintenance
- The formulation has a shelf life of one year.
- The product can be stored at elevated temperature. No loss in plant growth promoting activities in formulation even on long storage.
- Bacterial protectants added to the formulation improve the shelf life, survival of the culture on seed and also help the culture regain active growth under favourable conditions.
- It is convenient to use.
