Biofertilizers, Biofungicides & Biopesticides for Jharkhand Farmers | Microbial Agricultural Products Supplier India

Jharkhand has diverse agricultural systems involving paddy, maize, wheat, chickpea, pigeon pea, potato, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, vegetables, pulses, oilseeds and other field and horticultural crops.

Crop productivity depends on several interconnected factors including soil fertility, nutrient availability, root health, soil moisture, rainfall distribution, disease pressure, insect pests, nematodes, organic matter and overall crop-management practices.

Microbial agricultural inputs can be incorporated into integrated farming programs to support crop nutrition, nutrient cycling, rhizosphere activity, root and soil health, biological disease management, insect-pest management and nematode management.

Peak Laboratories manufactures a broad range of microbial products including biofertilizers, biofungicides, biopesticides and bionematicides for agricultural use.

Azotobacter Biofertilizer

Azotobacter is a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium commonly incorporated into nutrient-management programs for suitable non-leguminous crops.

It can be used as part of integrated fertility programs for crops such as maize, wheat and vegetables.

Azotobacter should complement balanced nitrogen fertilization rather than be considered a complete replacement for the crop's nitrogen requirement.

Azospirillum Biofertilizer

Azospirillum is a beneficial root-associated bacterium commonly used with cereal and grass crops.

It may be incorporated into microbial nutrient and root-zone programs for crops such as rice and maize where appropriate.

Rhizobium for Pulses

Rhizobium forms crop-specific symbiotic associations with suitable legume plants and contributes to biological nitrogen fixation through root nodulation.

For Jharkhand pulse crops such as chickpea and pigeon pea, appropriate crop-compatible Rhizobium inoculants can be incorporated into integrated nutrient-management programs.

Host and strain compatibility is important.

PSB for Phosphorus Management

Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) participate in biological processes associated with mobilization of certain less-available forms of phosphorus.

PSB can be particularly relevant to integrated nutrient-management programs where phosphorus availability is constrained by soil conditions.

Because agricultural soils in several parts of Jharkhand can be acidic, soil testing and appropriate pH management should complement PSB use.

KMB for Potassium Management

Potassium Mobilizing Bacteria (KMB) contribute to microbial processes associated with potassium mobilization in the soil-root environment.

KMB can be incorporated alongside nitrogen-supporting and phosphorus-solubilizing microorganisms in integrated crop-nutrition programs.

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (ZSB) can be incorporated into integrated micronutrient programs where zinc availability is a concern.

Soil or plant analysis is useful for identifying actual micronutrient limitations.

NPK Microbial Consortium

An NPK microbial consortium combines microorganisms providing complementary nitrogen-, phosphorus- and potassium-related biological functions.

For example, a consortium incorporating Azotobacter + PSB + KMB can provide multiple microbial nutrient-management functions within one formulation or crop program.

Pseudomonas fluorescens

Pseudomonas fluorescens is a beneficial bacterium associated with rhizosphere and crop-health management.

Selected strains can contribute to microbial competition, siderophore production and other beneficial plant-associated interactions.

Pseudomonas may be incorporated into integrated biological disease and root-health programs where appropriate.

Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis is a beneficial spore-forming bacterium used in microbial crop-health formulations.

Selected strains can contribute to competitive colonization and production of biologically active compounds.

It can be incorporated into integrated disease-management programs for suitable crops and target problems.

Beauveria bassiana

Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus used against various susceptible insect pests.

Its effectiveness can be influenced by insect species, life stage, fungal viability, spray coverage, humidity, temperature and sunlight exposure.

It should be selected according to the identified pest and product recommendations.

Metarhizium anisopliae

Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic fungus commonly incorporated into biological programs for susceptible insect pests, including certain soil-associated insects.

Where the target pest is present in the soil, correct root-zone or soil placement and suitable moisture can be important.

Verticillium lecanii

Verticillium lecanii is commonly incorporated into biological management programs for certain susceptible sucking and soft-bodied pests.

Good spray coverage, suitable environmental conditions and correct pest identification are important for successful use.

Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki

Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) is a microbial biopesticide particularly associated with management of susceptible caterpillar larvae.

Young, actively feeding larvae are generally more appropriate targets than large, advanced larvae.

Regular crop scouting therefore plays an important role in Btk-based pest-management programs.

Paecilomyces lilacinus

Paecilomyces lilacinus is a beneficial fungus used in microbial nematode-management programs.

It is commonly positioned in the soil and root zone according to formulation and label recommendations.

Pochonia chlamydosporia

Pochonia chlamydosporia is another beneficial fungus incorporated into integrated biological nematode-management programs.

Preventive establishment within the root zone is generally more appropriate than expecting recovery of severely damaged roots.

Bacillus firmus

Bacillus firmus is a beneficial bacterium used in certain biological nematode and root-health programs.

It provides an additional microbial option within an integrated nematode-management strategy.

Peak Laboratories manufactures and supplies microbial agricultural products in liquid, wettable powder, powder and water-soluble formulations for agricultural applications.

Products are available for farmers, FPOs, farmer groups, agricultural dealers, distributors, commercial farms, institutional buyers, private-label buyers and bulk buyers throughout Jharkhand and India.
