BIOPHOS/GET-PHOS

PRODUCT : Containing strain of Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum.

TRADE NAME : BioPhos and Get-Phos.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT : Dormant cell mass of Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum. Cell count: 1x10⁹/ml. min. or 1x10⁹gm. min.

FORMULATION : AS (Aqueous Suspension), WP (Wettable Powder) and GR (Granules)

SPECTRUM : This organism is capable of solubilizing insoluble phosphates and makes it biologically available to plants and thereby helps in reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and increases the yield by 20% - 25% at a lower cost. It produces organic acids like malic, succinic, fumaric, citric, tartaric and alpha ketoglutaric acid. This encourage early root development, hastens the maturity and increases the ratio of grain to straw as well as the total yield, stimulates formation of fats, convertible starches and result in healthy seeds, impair pest and disease resistance in crops. Further it improves soil health and soil fertility, secretes growth hormones to increase crop productivity, reduces the dosage requirement of Phosphorus (nearly by 40% - 50%), benefits the next crop also due to its residual effect. It can be used in crops like Cereals, Pulses, Cotton, Oilseeds, Vegetables, Fruit crops, Plantation crops etc.

MODE OF ACTION : The dormant forms of Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum. 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. During their growth they secretes organic acids like malic, succinic, fumaric, citric, tartaric and alpha ketoglutaric acid and solubilize phosphorus and make it available to crops.

DIRECTION FOR USE :
SEED TREATMENT : Mix 5-10 ml. or gm. of BioPhos/Get-Phos 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 or gm. of BioPhos/Get-Phos in 10-20 ltrs of water and dip the roots of seedling for 30 minutes before transplanting.

SETT TREATMENT : Mix 250-500 ml or gm. of BioPhos/Get-Phos in 100 ltrs of water and dip the sugarcane setts for 30 minutes before planting in the field.

SOIL APPLICATION : : Mix 750-1000 ml or 4 kg. of BioPhos/Get-Phos with 30-40 kg’s of Farm Yard Manure (FYM). In absence of FYM, soil of the field can also be used. After thoroughly blending broadcast in 1 acre of land before last ploughing or after first irrigation. In standing crop, give light irrigation after its application.

TREE TREATMENT : Apply 0.75-1.5 ltrs. of BioPhos/Get-Phos at the active root zone directly early in the season for field trees, fruit trees and ornamental trees. Through drip irrigation per acre. For Vines apply 0.75-1.5 ltr. of BioPhos/Get-Phos mixed in 100-150 ltrs. of water per acre or 25 ml. BioPhos/Get-Phos per tree/vines.
