BIOZINC/ZINC-CURE

PRODUCT : Containing strain of Zinc solubilizing bacteria.

TRADE NAME : BioZinc and Zinc-Cure.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT : Cell mass of Zinc solubilizing bacteria. Cell Count: 1X10⁹ /ml. min. or 1X10⁹/gm. min.

FORMULATION : AS (Aqueous Suspension) and GR (Granules)

SPECTRUM : This bacterium is capable of mobilizing required Zinc to target crops to the extent of 45% - 50 % thereby increasing the yield by 15% - 25%. Zinc plays major role in carbohydrate metabolism, both in photosynthesis and in the conversion of sugars to starch, protein metabolism, auxin - growth regulator, metabolism, pollen formation, the maintenance of the integrity of cell wall and the resistance to infection by certain pathogens. This reduces the dosage requirement of Zinc (nearly by 40% - 50%), benefits the next crop also due to its residual effect. While Zinc is essential for every plant, these crops have been found to be especially responsive: Sugarcane, Oil Seed, Corn, Rice, Wheat, Cotton, Citrus, Sorghum and most Orchard crops.

MODE OF ACTION : The dormant form of Zinc solubilizing bacteria cells on reaching the soil gets activated and produces fresh batch of active cells. These cells grow and multiply by utilizing the carbon source in the soil or from root exudates and secrete organic acids - Sulphuric acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid to facilitate solubilization the elementary and complex form of essential elements and make them available to plant. During their growth they mobilize Zinc and make it available to crops.

DIRECTION FOR USE :
SEED TREATMENT : Mix 5-10 ml. of BioZinc/Zinc-Cure with sufficient quantity of water and treat 1.0 kg of seeds. Shade dry for half an hour before sowing.

SEEDLING DIPPING Mix 50-100 ml of BioZinc/Zinc-Cure in 10-20 ltrs. of water and dip the seedling roots for 30 minutes before transplanting.

SETT TREATMENT : Mix 250-500 ml. of BioZinc/Zinc-Cure in 100 ltrs. of water and dip the Sugarcane setts required for 1 acre for 30 minutes before planting in the field.

SOIL APPLICATION : Mix 750-1000 ml of BioZinc or 2-4 Kg of Zinc-Cure with 30-40 kg of Farm Yard Manure (FYM). In absence of FYM, soil of the field can be used. After thoroughly blending, broadcast in 1 acre of land before last ploughing or after first irrigation or irrigate the field after its application. In standing crop, give light irrigation after its application.

TREE TREATMENT : Apply 0.75-1.5 ltrs. BioZinc/Zinc-Cure at active root zone directly early in the season for most of field trees, fruit trees and ornamental trees through drip irrigation per acre. For Vines, apply 0.75-1.5 ltrs. of BioZinc/Zinc-Cure mixed in 100-150 Ltr. of water per acre at active root zone or 25-50 ml of BioZinc/Zinc-Cure per tree/Vine at active root zone.

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRIP IRRIGATION :

1. All Cereals : 750-1000 ml/acre
2. Cotton : 750-1000 ml/acre
3. Oil Seeds : 750-1000 ml/acre
4. vegetables : 750-1000 ml/acre
