Acetobacter Bacteria

Acetobacter is nitrogen fixing bio inoculants exclusively meant for sugarcane and paddy. Acetobacter is known for producing acid as a result of metabolic processes. It has been called interesting because it carries out nitrogen fixation under aerobic conditions and makes it available to plants in a symbiotic manner. It can colonize within plant parts such as root, stem, and leaves of sugarcane and provide benefits to the plant by producing plant growth promoting substances which persuade better plant growth and vigour. Consequently, the thickness and length of internodes considerably increase with increased sugar content which ultimately resulted in improved yield.

It is a plant endophyte and has been said to be capable of excreting about half of its fixed nitrogen in a form that plants can use. Acetobacter bacteria is found in symbiotic relationships with many different plants, such as sugarcane and coffee plants as endophytes that associate with plants by colonizing their internal tissues.

Benefits:

• Strains isolated & cultured from local environment for best result.

• Induce vigorous root growth in early plant. Create Immunity against soil borne fungal infection.

• It Improves soil properties and sustains soil fertility.

• Special effects on paddy and sugarcane, increases the yield of 15-40%.

• Nitrogen fixation in the rhizosphere through the action of nitrogenous enzyme.

• Fortification of the soils with bacterial metabolites and by secreting growth promoters.
