BAIF PSB Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria is a high-potency bio-fertilizer designed to address the widespread issue of phosphorus fixation in agricultural soils. This liquid formulation contains a powerful consortium of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus polymyxa, beneficial bacteria known for their ability to secrete organic acids (such as gluconic and citric acid) which lower the soil pH locally to dissolve insoluble phosphates.
Phosphorus is often present in the soil but locked in insoluble forms (like Tricalcium Phosphate) that plants cannot access. BAIF PSB Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria unlocks these reserves, converting them into soluble ions that are easily absorbed by the root system. . This process not only reduces the need for expensive chemical fertilizers like DAP and SSP by 20-25% but also stimulates dense root development, ensuring better anchorage and nutrient uptake.
Key Benefits:
Active Ingredients: Contains pure cultures of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus polymyxa.
Nutrient Unlocking: Solubilizes fixed soil phosphorus, making it bio-available.
Growth Promotion: Produces plant growth-promoting substances (IAA/Gibberellins) that enhance early seedling vigor.
Soil Health: Increases beneficial microbial population and improves soil structure.
Application & Dosage:
Seed Treatment: Mix 10 ml of BAIF PSB per kg of seeds to ensure each seed is coated properly and allow to dry in a shade before sowing.
Seedling Treatment: Dilute 30 ml of BAIF PSB in 5 liters of water and immerse the seedling roots in the solution for a few minutes before planting and proceed for planting immediately.
Soil Treatment: Dilute 1 liter of BAIF PSB in 200 liters of water. Apply the solution to one acre area through drip or flood irrigation method.
Enhances phosphate availability in the soil, improves plant growth, crop yield, supports in soil health and fertility improvement.
