Potash Mobilizing Bacteria

The microbial population (PSB and others) and its activity i.e. organic acid secretion contribute the changes of potassium mobility from the soil towards plant roots. Rate of non-exchangeable K release and its mechanism are controlled by nature and amount of clay minerals, besides this exploring the role of microbes present in the soil. KMB could be applied individually however it is recommended along with nitrogen fixing bacteria like Rhizobium spp., Azosprillum and with P-solubilizers respond more with co inoculants and soil application.

Target Crops :

Cereals like Paddy, Wheat, Millet, Vegetables namely Cabbage, Cauliflower, Pea, Bean, Brinjal, Chilly, Onion, Potato, Leafy vegetables, Tomato, Flowering plants and Fruit crops; Grapes, Citrus, Apple plants.

Benefits to the crop and soil

• Improve resistance of crop plants against disease and stress condition
• Improve crop growth and yield by 20 – 30 %
• Secretion of growth hormones to increase crop productivity
• Suitable to apply to all crop
• Enhance soil health and soil fertility
• Reduce cost of potash application by 50 – 60%
• Improve sucrose content in crop and appearance
• Improve coloration and shelf life of crop
