DESCRIPTION
IPL Phosphocea-HD Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria Bio Fertilizer Details :
- Phosphorous is the next important nutrient after Nitrogen, which helps in root formation and plant growth. Phosphate is available in the soil in insoluble form and hardly about 1-2% of it is available to the plants. Phosphocea-HD contains 100 times high concentration of Phosphorous Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) as compared to conventional product which helps to convert insoluble inorganic phosphate into simple and soluble form for plants uptake
- Technical Name:Phosphorous Solubilising Bacteria
- Purpose:Addresses phosphorus deficiency and enhances produce quality.
- Dosage: Seed Treatment: 1-2 ml / kg of seeds. Seedling, Soil treatment & Drip irrigation: 50 ml/ acre
- Crops: All Crops
- Type: HD Bio-Fertilizers
- CFU Count: 1x1010 cells/ml(minimum)
Benefits :
- Improved Root Growth
- Early and Effective Germination
- Increase Nutrient Uptake Efficiency
- Improved Disease Resistance and Drought Tolerance
- Increased Crop Yield
- Reduce dependence on phosphatic chemical fertilizers
- Mode of Action : Phosphorous Solublising Bacteria present in PHOSPHOCEA-HD secrete organic acids such as lactic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic and acetic acid that convert different forms of insoluble phosphate into soluble forms for uptake by plants
Method of Application
Seed Treatment:
• In a sufficient quantity of water, mix 1 ml of PHOSPHOCEA HD and shake well.
• Add the mixture to 1 kg of seeds and shake to ensure even coating.
• Shade dry the seeds for 30 to 60 minutes before sowing.
Seedling Treatment:
• Mix 25 ml of PHOSPHOCEA HD in 1 liter of water.
• Mix the solution again in 10 to 20 liters of water.
• Dip the seedlings' roots into the solution for 25 to 30 minutes before transplanting.
Broadcasting Method:
• Shake PHOSPHOCEA HD well.
• Pour the entire test tube content into 3-4 litres of water for 1 acre.
• Mix the solution properly.
• Take 150-200 kg of soil/farmyard manure for 1 acre and sprinkle the PHOSPHOCEA HD solution onto it.
• Mix the soil/manure and PHOSPHOCEA HD solution well with both hands.
• Leave the mixture in the open for 30-60 minutes before broadcasting it in the field.
Drip or Drenching Method:
• Shake PHOSPHOCEA HD well.
• Pour the entire test tube content into 200 litres of water for 1 acre.
• Mix the solution properly.
• Apply the PHOSPHOCEA HD solution to the plants by drip or drenching.

FAQs for IPL Phosphocea HD (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria Bio-Fertilizer):
1. What is IPL Phosphocea HD Bio-Fertilizer?
Ans. IPL Phosphocea HD is a bio-fertilizer containing phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) that convert unavailable forms of phosphate in the soil into forms accessible to plants.
2. How does Phosphocea HD benefit crops?
Ans.
Increases the availability of phosphorus, enhancing plant growth and yield.
Promotes better root development and nutrient absorption.
Improves soil fertility over time.
Reduces dependency on chemical phosphorus fertilizers.
3. What crops can benefit from Phosphocea HD?
Ans. This bio-fertilizer is suitable for a variety of crops, including:
Cereals (Wheat, Rice, Maize)
Pulses (Gram, Lentils)
Vegetables (Tomato, Potato, Onion)
Oilseeds (Mustard, Sunflower)
Fruits (Mango, Banana, Citrus)
4. How should Phosphocea HD be applied?
Ans.
Seed Treatment:
Mix 5–10 ml per kg of seeds, coat uniformly, and dry in shade before sowing.
Soil Application:
