Bio fertilizers, bio pesticides and green manure seed

Each input is recommended and quantified for your crop, soil and acreage, so you buy what the field needs and nothing more.

Bio fertilizers

Living microbes that fix nitrogen or free up phosphorus, potassium and zinc already in your soil. They work best with good organic matter.

  • Azospirillum

    Fixes atmospheric nitrogen around the roots and supplies part of the crop's nitrogen.

    When to apply: At planting, mixed into compost or applied to the root zone.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Azotobacter

    Free-living nitrogen fixer that also releases growth-promoting substances.

    When to apply: At planting with well-rotted manure, and again after the first rains.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • PSB

    Phosphate solubilising bacteria

    Releases phosphorus locked in the soil so roots can take it up.

    When to apply: At planting, with organic manure.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • VAM

    Arbuscular mycorrhiza

    Extends the root system, improving phosphorus and water uptake.

    When to apply: Close to the roots at planting or in the nursery.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • KMB

    Potash mobilising bacteria

    Makes soil potassium available to the plant.

    When to apply: With organic manure at planting and during active growth.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • AMC

    Microbial consortium

    Nitrogen-fixing, phosphorus- and zinc-solubilising microbes combined in one product.

    When to apply: Soil application or drench at planting and during growth.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

Bio pesticides

Beneficial fungi and bacteria that suppress soil-borne disease, nematodes and insect pests. Most effective when applied before the problem peaks.

  • Trichoderma

    Suppresses soil-borne rots and wilts, including those that cause rhizome rot and foot rot.

    When to apply: Seed treatment, or multiplied in compost and applied before planting and the monsoon.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Pseudomonas

    Pseudomonas fluorescens

    Protects roots and leaves against bacterial and fungal diseases.

    When to apply: Seed treatment, soil drench or foliar spray.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Paecilomyces

    Purpureocillium lilacinum

    Attacks root-knot and burrowing nematodes in the soil.

    When to apply: Soil application with organic manure at planting.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Beauveria

    Beauveria bassiana

    Infects and kills insect pests such as shoot borers and beetles.

    When to apply: Foliar spray in humid weather, in the evening.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Pochonia

    Pochonia chlamydosporia

    Parasitises nematode eggs in the root zone.

    When to apply: Soil application at planting and once during the season.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Bacillus

    Bacillus subtilis and related strains

    Suppresses a wide range of fungal and bacterial diseases and supports root growth.

    When to apply: Seed treatment, drench or spray.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

Green manure seed

Fast-growing crops grown and turned into the soil to add organic matter and nitrogen before or between main crops.

  • Mucuna

    Velvet bean

    Vigorous legume cover that adds nitrogen and organic matter and smothers weeds.

    When to apply: Sow at the start of the monsoon, often between arecanut rows. Cut back or incorporate at flowering.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Dhaincha

    Sesbania

    Quick biomass and nitrogen, and tolerates waterlogged and saline patches.

    When to apply: Sow with the first rains and incorporate after 45 to 60 days.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Sun hemp

    Crotalaria juncea

    Fast-growing legume that builds organic matter in a short window.

    When to apply: Sow before the main crop and incorporate after 45 to 60 days.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

  • Mustard

    Short-season crop that helps suppress some soil-borne diseases and nematodes when turned in green.

    When to apply: Sow in the cooler months and incorporate at flowering.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

Chelated micronutrients

Zinc, iron, manganese and copper in chelated forms that stay available in the soil and are taken up readily through the leaf.

  • Chelated micronutrient mixes

    Correct shortages that hold back yield even when the major nutrients are right.

    When to apply: Foliar spray or fertigation, at doses set from a soil or leaf test.

    Priced to your field size and requirement

Questions about bio inputs

Why bio inputs matter in horticulture

Ginger, turmeric, banana, arecanut and pepper are grown intensively, often on the same land year after year. Over time this wears down soil organic matter and the microbial life that makes nutrients available to roots, and soil-borne diseases build up. Bio inputs address both problems: bio fertilizers help the crop use the nutrients already in the soil, and bio pesticides keep disease-causing organisms in check.

Bio fertilizers

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Azospirillum and Azotobacter supply part of the crop's nitrogen. Phosphate solubilising bacteria and potash mobilising bacteria release phosphorus and potassium that are present in the soil but locked up. Mycorrhizal fungi extend the root system. Used together with compost or well-rotted manure, they can reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer a crop needs, but they are not a substitute for knowing what your soil lacks. A soil test tells you where they will help most.

Bio pesticides

Most serious diseases of these crops start in the soil. Rhizome rot in ginger and turmeric, foot rot in pepper and wilt in banana are all caused by soil-borne organisms that thrive in wet conditions. Trichoderma and Pseudomonas, applied before planting and before the monsoon, colonise the root zone and crowd these organisms out. Paecilomyces and Pochonia target nematodes, which damage roots and open the way for rots. Beauveria controls insect pests such as shoot borers. Timing matters: bio pesticides prevent and suppress; they work far better before a problem peaks than after.

Green manure

Growing a green manure crop and turning it into the soil is one of the cheapest ways to raise organic matter. Mucuna is widely grown between arecanut rows; dhaincha and sun hemp produce large amounts of biomass in six to eight weeks before a main crop; mustard, turned in green, can help suppress some soil-borne pests.

Chelated micronutrients

Shortages of zinc, iron and other micronutrients are common in intensively farmed soils and can limit yield even when nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are adequate. Chelated forms stay available longer and are well suited to foliar sprays and fertigation. Doses should come from a soil or leaf test rather than guesswork.

Getting the quantities right
