SSB for Cardamom: Improve Stress Tolerance, Plant Strength & Higher Capsule Yield
ಹಂಚಿ
Cardamom plants are frequently exposed to drought, heavy rainfall, heat, nutrient imbalance, and other environmental stresses that reduce growth and capsule production. Silicon helps strengthen plant tissues and improves tolerance against these stresses, but much of the silicon present in the soil remains unavailable to plants.
SSB (Silicon Solubilizing Bacteria) converts unavailable silicon into a plant-available form. Regular application strengthens roots and stems, improves water-use efficiency, enhances stress tolerance, and supports better flowering and capsule development.
