Buy NPK Consortia for Arecanut – Reduce Nut Drop, Increase Yield

Arecanut gardens in Kozhikode – especially around Vatakara and Koyilandy – are a major source of family income. But arecanut palms have specific nutrient needs. The Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) recommends 100g N, 40g P, and 140g K per palm per year for bearing palms. Chemical fertilizers alone often cause imbalances. The result? Yellowing fronds, poor nut set, premature nut dropping – all cutting into your profits.

NPK consortia provides balanced, natural nutrition. The beneficial bacteria colonise your palm's root zone and continuously release nutrients in the right proportions. No feast‑and‑famine, no toxic residue.

What you'll see in your arecanut garden:

  • Reduced nut splitting and dropping – more nuts reach harvest.

  • Heavier kernels – better market weight and price.

  • Greener, healthier fronds – better photosynthesis.

  • Stronger root system – better nutrient uptake.

  • Reduced chemical fertilizer use by 30‑40% – direct savings.

How to apply NPK consortia on arecanut:

Soil application (pre‑monsoon and post‑monsoon):

  • Take 200‑250g of Bactostore's NPK consortia powder per adult palm

  • Mix with 20‑25 kg of well‑decomposed FYM or cow dung

  • Apply in the basin around the palm (15‑20 cm from the trunk)

  • Cover lightly with soil

  • Apply twice a year – pre‑monsoon (April‑May) and post‑monsoon (September‑October)

For young palms (below 5 years):

  • Use half the dose – 100‑125g powder per palm

For severe nut drop during monsoon:

  • In addition to soil application, drench the root zone with NPK consortia liquid (200‑250 ml in 10 litres water) once a month during the monsoon

Farmer testimonial from Kozhikode:

"Nut drop was a big problem in our arecanut garden. After using Bactostore NPK consortia with FYM twice a year, the dropping has reduced by 60%. Our kernels are heavier and we're using much less chemical fertilizer." – Kunhikrishnan, Vatakara.
