Phosphobacteria

We offer phos is Bio-Phos Phosphobacteria, its a biofertilizer, phosphorus is a major nutrient for plants inducing vigorous growth and also contributing to their disease resistance. Phosphorous helps in root formation and plant growth. phosphobacteria the group of bacteria that colonize roots that seems to fix the phosphate molecules in the root portion, improved nutrient acquisition (termed biofertilizers), or phytohormone production (termed biostimulants). They produce include indole-acetic acid, cytokinins, gibberellins and inhibitors of ethylene production. Advantages: biopromoter facilitates root formation and plant growth. It improves soil quality with subsequent uses. It should not be mixed with antibacterial agents and inorganic fertilizers. 10 to 15% increase of crop yield can be achieved with the use of this culture. Promotes root, flower and fruit development, and allows early maturity. mode of action carbon utilization: the phosphobacteria on application to the soil get activated and multiply by utilizing the carbon source of soil or exudates of the root and in this process secrete organic acids and enzymes. Metabolite production: phosphobacteria produces organic acids such as indole aceric acid. Gluconic acid and enzymes that help solubilize the fixed phosphorus into exchangeable form. These organic acids through their hydroxyl and carboxyl groups chelate the cations (mainly calcium) bound to phosphate converting them into the soluble forms. Method of application seed treatment: mix 10 ml. Of phosteria with 10 g. Of crude sugar in sufficient water to make a slurry and coat 1 kg of seeds, dry in shade and sow broadcast dibble in the field. Note: do not store treated coated seeds more than 24 hrs seedling treatment: mix 50 ml of phosteria with sufficient quantity of water and organic manure to form a slurry. The seedlings are dipped in this slurry for 30 minutes prior to planting so that the bacteria get attached to the roots.
