Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (ZSB) are specialized soil microbes that convert insoluble zinc compounds into plant-available forms through organic acid production and enzymatic action. Formulated at 1x108 cells/ml they enhance zinc uptake, correct deficiencies, and improve crop resilience/yields.
Product Specifications
-
CFU:
1x108 cells/ml
-
Active Content: ZSB
-
Carrier: Liquid Formula
Usage Instructions
-
Dosage: 2 litres/acre mixed with compost or 200 L water.
-
Timing: Apply at sowing/transplanting; reapply at flowering/fruit set.
-
Primary Action: Solubilizes ZnO, ZnCO₃, ZnS via organic acids (gluconic, citric).
-
Method:
-
Soil: Blend with FYM (1 kg/100 kg) and broadcast.
-
Seeds: Treat with 20 ml/kg slurry (10% gum arabic as adhesive).
-
-
Frequency: 2 applications per crop (avoid alkaline soils > pH 8.0).
-
Compatibility: Synergistic with PSB and Azotobacter; avoid chemical zinc sprays for 15 days.
-
Activation: Requires low-Zn soils; suppresses Fusarium via siderophores.
-
Safety: Non-toxic to plants, earthworms, or pollinators.
Suitable Crops
-
Cereals: Rice (prevents "khaira disease"), Maize (corrects "white bud"), Wheat
-
Fruits: Citrus (reduces mottling), Apple (prevents "rosette"), Grapes
-
Vegetables: Tomato (↑ fruit set), Onion (reduces leaf twisting), Potato
-
Legumes: Chickpea (↓ bud drop), Soybean (↑ nodulation)
-
Cash Crops: Cotton (prevents "little leaf"), Sugarcane
Storage Instructions
-
Temperature: 10–25°C (avoid >30°C or freezing).
-
Packaging: Airtight opaque bags with desiccant.
-
Shelf Life: 12 months (lignite carrier maintains viability).
-
Precautions: Store away from moisture, heavy metals, and direct sunlight.
Key Advantage
Biofortification Efficiency:
Mobilizes 15–25 kg Zn/ha/season, increasing grain zinc content by 30–50% and reducing deficiency disorders (e.g., rice "khaira") by 70% (ICAR-IISS data). Enhances drought tolerance via root biomass stimulation.
