Zinc Solubilizing bacteria bottle 1 litre

Technical Information

Net Volume: 1 Litre

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (ZSB) Liquid Biofertilizer is a beneficial microbial formulation developed to support the biological solubilization and mobilization of zinc in the crop root zone.

Zinc is an essential plant micronutrient, but a significant portion of soil zinc may occur in forms that are poorly available to plants. Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria help support microbial processes that can mobilize suitable zinc sources in the rhizosphere, contributing to improved zinc nutrition as part of an Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) program.

The liquid formulation is suitable for convenient soil drenching, drip irrigation and root-zone application.

What are Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria?

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (ZSB) are beneficial soil microorganisms capable of supporting biological processes involved in the mobilization of certain poorly available zinc compounds.

These microorganisms establish in the rhizosphere and can influence zinc availability through microbial activity and production of various metabolites.

ZSB does not replace zinc itself. Instead, it is used to support the biological mobilization and utilization of suitable zinc sources already present in the soil or supplied through a fertilizer program.

• Can be integrated with other compatible microbial biofertilizers

Importance of Zinc in Crop Nutrition

Zinc is an essential micronutrient involved in numerous plant functions, including enzyme activity, protein metabolism, growth regulation and other physiological processes.

Crop response to zinc depends on both the total amount of zinc present and how much of that zinc is available for root uptake.

Factors such as soil pH, mineral composition, organic matter, moisture and fertilizer management can influence zinc availability.

How Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria Work

Certain zinc compounds present in soil may have relatively low solubility.

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria can produce microbial metabolites that interact with suitable zinc-containing compounds in the rhizosphere and support their solubilization or mobilization.

This biological activity can help improve the efficiency of zinc nutrition when ZSB is combined with suitable soil or fertilizer zinc sources.

Recommended Application

Soil Drenching

Dilute the recommended quantity in sufficient clean water and apply uniformly around the active crop root zone.

Drip Irrigation

Apply through a suitable drip-irrigation system to distribute the beneficial bacteria throughout the root zone.

Flood Irrigation

Where appropriate, the formulation can be introduced through irrigation water for wider distribution within the cultivated root zone.

Root-Zone Application

Apply around actively growing roots when adequate soil moisture is available.

Nursery & Transplant Application

Can be incorporated into suitable microbial nutrient-management programs for seedlings, nursery plants and transplanted crops.

Suitable Crops

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria can be incorporated into nutrient-management programs for a wide range of crops, including:

Sugarcane, rice, wheat, maize, cotton, soybean, groundnut, pulses, oilseeds, onion, potato, tomato, chilli, ginger, turmeric, banana, grapes, pomegranate, citrus, mango, vegetables, flowers, plantation crops, nursery plants, greenhouse crops and other suitable agricultural and horticultural crops.

Integrated Zinc Management

ZSB works best as part of a broader zinc-management strategy.

Where soil analysis indicates inadequate zinc availability, an appropriate zinc source may be supplied according to agronomic recommendations. ZSB can then be incorporated into the program to support biological mobilization of suitable zinc compounds in the rhizosphere.

This approach combines zinc nutrition + microbial activity + appropriate soil management.

Important Nutritional Note

Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria is a microbial biofertilizer and not a conventional chemical zinc fertilizer.

The formulation contains beneficial zinc-solubilizing microorganisms; it should not be interpreted as supplying a guaranteed percentage of elemental zinc.

Where a confirmed zinc deficiency exists, appropriate zinc supplementation should be determined according to soil, water or plant-tissue analysis and local agronomic recommendations.

Compatibility & Precautions

This formulation contains living beneficial bacteria.

Avoid direct mixing with strong bactericides, disinfectants, sanitizers and other antimicrobial chemicals that may reduce microbial viability.

Use clean water wherever possible.

Avoid heavily chlorinated water during microbial application.

Maintain an appropriate interval between incompatible chemical treatments and microbial applications.

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.

Follow the product label and locally applicable agricultural recommendations for dosage and application.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Protect the microbial culture from extreme temperatures.

Keep away from strong disinfectants and incompatible chemicals.

Why Choose Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria?

Zinc fertilizers supply zinc, while Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria support biological processes involved in mobilizing suitable zinc sources in the rhizosphere.

This makes ZSB a useful microbial component of modern Integrated Nutrient Management programs focused on:

Zinc availability → Rhizosphere activity → Nutrient utilization → Balanced crop nutrition
