Unlock the power of bio-available silicon for your crops. Our Silicon Solubilizing Bacteria (SSB) is a highly concentrated, carrier-based bio-fertilizer designed to solubilize fixed silicon in the soil. By converting insoluble silicon into plant-available forms, this product strengthens cell walls, increases drought resistance, reduces heavy metal toxicity, and significantly boosts yield.

Available in a heavy-duty 25 Kg industrial drum—ideal for large-scale farming and commercial agriculture.

Key Features

• Active Ingredient: Silicon Solubilizing Bacteria (e.g., Bacillus spp.) with a minimum count of 1 x 10^8 CFU/g (Colony Forming Units per gram)
• Packaging: Industrial-grade 25 Kg drum (airtight, moisture-proof, UV-resistant)
• Mode of Action: Produces organic acids (citric, malic, and gluconic acids) and exopolysaccharides to dissolve silicate minerals (quartz, feldspar) in the soil
• Crop Suitability: Paddy (Rice), Sugarcane, Wheat, Maize, Tomatoes, Grapes, Citrus, and all cereal, vegetable, and fruit crops
• Organic Input: Non-toxic, non-pathogenic, and ideal for sustainable agriculture practices

Why Silicon?

Silicon is considered a "quasi-essential" nutrient. While abundant in most soils, it is primarily present in an insoluble form that plants cannot absorb. Traditional chemical fertilizers do not address this gap. Silicon Solubilizing Bacteria (SSB) bridges this gap by biologically converting unavailable silicon into a form that roots can uptake instantly.

Benefits of SSB 25 Kg Drum

• Strengthens Plant Architecture: Deposits silicon in cell walls, creating a physical barrier against pests (borers, hoppers) and fungal pathogens (powdery mildew, blast).
• Drought & Stress Tolerance: Regulates transpiration rates and maintains leaf turgor pressure, allowing crops to withstand water scarcity and temperature extremes.
• Heavy Metal Detox: Binds with heavy metals like iron, manganese, and aluminum in the soil, preventing toxicity that stunts root growth.
• Nutrient Synergy: Enhances the availability of Phosphorus and Zinc, maximizing the efficiency of your existing fertilizer investment.
• Lodging Resistance: Improves stem strength, particularly crucial for tall crops like rice, sugarcane, and wheat, preventing them from falling over before harvest.

Usage Instructions

Application Rate (per acre):

• Soil Application: Mix 2.5 Kg to 5 Kg of SSB with 50–100 Kg of well-decomposed Farm Yard Manure (FYM) or compost. Broadcast uniformly in the field during final land preparation or apply in rows at sowing/transplanting.

Application Method:

• Mix the required quantity of SSB with organic manure.
• Maintain slight moisture (about 30-40%) for 24 hours to allow the bacteria to multiply.
• Apply uniformly to the root zone.

Note: For best results, apply during the early stages of crop growth (sowing, transplanting, or within 30 days of planting). Avoid direct exposure to sunlight; apply during early morning or late evening.
