Azospirillumisafreelivingnitrogenfixing bacteria closely associated with grasses.
This biofertilizer secretes some fungicides and enzymes that increases the crop production in large scale by providing the nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients tocrop plants through nitrogen fixation and phosphorous solubilization process.
Method Application :
Field application :
Mix 5 kg carried based formulation with 500kg moistened farmyard manure by spade.
Maintain moisture at 60% through periodical sprinkling of water and give 3turnings with spade at 3 days interval for aeration.
After 10 days of inoculation apply 500 gram per plant in the root zone and cover with soil and provide sufficient irrigation.
Apply bio formulation 2 times in a crop season, one during the release of stress and another at 120 days after first application.
Seed treatment :
10-20 g carrier based inoculant should be mixed with 20 ml rice gruel to make slurry, vegetable seeds (110-200g) can be mixed with this slurry, care should be taken to ensure uniform coating of the slurry on the seed surface treated seeds should be shade dries for 30 minutes & shown within 24 hours.
Cocopeat Enrich :
1 kg of the carrier based inoculant is sufficient to enrich 1000kg ( 1 ton) of cocopeat.
A suspension 20 g can be applied with a rose can on to the cocopeat, prior to filling in portrays.
Foliar spray :
2.5 kg/ hectare in 500 litres of water i.e. 5gm per litre of water.
The spray volume depends on the crop conopy.
Note : Foliar spray is doesn’t recommended as it is not Completely water soluble best result can’t achieved.
