1 What are biofertilizers?+
Biofertilizers are the substance that contains microorganism's living or latent cells. It contains living microorganisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant.
2 What is the range of biofertilizers?+
SuperPhosSol (WA302), SuperPotSol (WA303), SuperNitro (WA309), SuperAce (WA325), SuperNodulex (WA326),SuperSpiral (WA327), SuperZinkSol (WA328) and SuperMykorrhizA (WA329).
3 What is the dosage of biofertilizers?+
Recommended dosage of biofertilizers is 2 ml/acre for all liquid biofertilizers like SuperPhosSol (WA302), SuperPotSol (WA303), SuperNitro (WA309), SuperAce (WA325), SuperNodulex (WA326), SuperSpiral (WA327), SuperZinkSol (WA328) except for SuperMykorrhizA (WA329) which in powder form with the dosage of 100g/acre.
4 What are number of propagules present in 100 G pack of SuperMykorrhizA (WA329)? +
Approximately 300000 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) propagules are present in each 100 G pack size of SuperMykorrhizA to ensure its mode of action.
5 When to use the biofertilizers?+
Different biofertilizers should be used at the time of application of basal dose and during critical growth stages of the crop as per the crop requirement. In addition, the single application of SuperMykorrhizA (WA329) @ 100 g/acre for complete life cycle of the crop till its harvesting is sufficient to get good results.
6 What is the role of different biofertilizers?+
Roles of different biofertilizers are as follows-
Sr. No. |
Name of biofertilizer |
Code of biofertilizer |
Role of biofertilizers |
1. |
SuperPhosSol |
WA302 |
It helps in increasing the availability of phosphorus to the growing crops by dissolving insoluble phosphorus compounds in their soluble and easily available form |
2. |
SuperPotSol |
WA303 |
It helps in increasing the availability of potassium to the growing crops by mobilizing soluble potassium from insoluble potassium compounds present in soil |
3. |
SuperNitro |
WA309 |
It helps in increasing the availability of nitrogen to the growing crops by assimilating atmospheric nitrogen |
4. |
SuperAce |
WA325 |
It helps in increasing the availability of nitrogen to the growing crops by assimilating atmospheric nitrogen |
5. |
SuperNodulex |
WA326 |
It helps in increasing the availability of nitrogen in primarily leguminous plants by assimilating atmospheric nitrogen |
6. |
SuperSpiral |
WA327 |
It helps in increasing the availability of nitrogen to the growing crops by assimilating atmospheric nitrogen |
7. |
SuperZinkSol |
WA328 |
It helps in increasing the availability of zinc to the growing crops by zinc solubilization and mobilization |
8. |
SuperMykorrhizA |
WA329 |
It helps in the uptake and transportation of different mineral nutrients from the soil, directly into the plant |
7 What is the storage life of different biofertilizers?+
Storage life of all the biofertilizers is 12 months from date of packing under packed condition in cool storage conditions.
8 What is the recommended time for the application of the biofertilizers?+
Recommended time for the application of all the biofertilizers is early morning or late evening when soil temperature falls down to ensure the effectiveness of the biofertilizers.
9 When the application of the biofertilizers is practically indispensable?+
Application of the biofertilizers is practically indispensable during critical growth stages of crop like vegetative growth, flowering, fruiting/ pod filling, before harvesting period etc., to ensure yield and quality of farm produce and after extreme agroclimatic conditions like drought period, heavy rain, flooding conditions etc., to ensure nutrient availability to crop as per the nutritional requirement of crop and also based on the type of soil to retain available nutrition.
10 Whether all the biofertilizers are organically certified? +
Yes. All the biofertilizers are organically certified by Control Union certification and it’s logo is mentioned on the labels of all biofertilizers packs.
