Rhizobium Powder 25 Kg Drum

Product Name:

Rhizobium  - Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Inoculant

Cfu Cells/Gram:

Minimum 5 x 10^7 (50 Million) viable cells per gram | Strain-specific, high-efficiency rhizobia.

Base:

Available in multiple formulations for flexible application:

• Talc Powder / Wettable Powder (WP): For seed treatment and soil application.

• Dextrose Powder / Water Soluble Powder (WS): For soil drenching (crop-specific).

Benefits:

• Natural Nitrogen Fixation: Forms symbiotic nodules on legume roots to convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available ammonia.

• Eliminates Nitrogen Fertilizer Need: Can provide 100% of the crop's nitrogen requirement for legumes when properly inoculated.

• Boosts Yield & Protein Content: Significantly increases grain yield, biomass, and seed protein percentage.

• Improves Soil Fertility: Leaves residual nitrogen in the soil for subsequent crops, improving overall soil nitrogen status.

• Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly: Drastically reduces urea application, prevents leaching, and supports sustainable farming.

Suggested For Crops:

Strain-specific for maximum efficiency. Use crop-matched formulations:

• Pulses: Chickpea, Pigeon Pea, Lentil, Green Gram, Black Gram, Kidney Bean

• Oilseeds: Soybean, Groundnut

• Forage Legumes: Alfalfa, Clover

• Other Legumes: Peas, Cowpea

Spray Dosage:

• Not typically applied as a foliar spray. Primary application is via seed or soil.

• Soil Drench (for transplants/nursery): Mix 10-15 grams of WS powder per liter of water and apply to root zone.

Soil Application Dosage:

• Seed Treatment (Critical): Mix 10-15 grams of Talc/WP powder per kg of legume seeds using a sticky organic binder (like 10% sugar/jaggery solution). Treat seeds in shade and sow within 24 hours.

• Soil Application: Apply 1-2 Kg of Talc/WP powder per acre, mixed with 50 kg of compost, and broadcast in the field before sowing.

Note:

• Crucial: Use the correct strain-specific product for your legume crop.

• Do not mix with chemical fungicides or fertilizers during seed treatment.

• Ensure soil has adequate phosphorus and molybdenum for optimal nodulation.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
