Harnessing Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture

Rhizobium

BIO-FERTILIZER

Rhizobium

A highly efficient nitrogen-fixing bio-fertilizer that forms a symbiotic association with leguminous crops, improving nitrogen availability, soil fertility, and crop productivity.

Product Overview

Rhizobium is a beneficial bio-fertilizer containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria that establish a symbiotic relationship with the roots of leguminous plants. It forms root nodules that convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available forms, promoting healthy growth, reducing nitrogen fertilizer requirements, and improving soil fertility.

Technical Specifications

Product Type Bio-Fertilizer
Microorganism Rhizobium spp.
Formulation Liquid
Application Seed Treatment, Root Dip & Soil Application

Key Benefits

  • Fixes atmospheric nitrogen through root nodules.
  • Improves soil fertility and nitrogen availability.
  • Enhances root development and plant vigor.
  • Increases yield and crop quality.
  • Reduces dependence on chemical nitrogen fertilizers.

Mode of Action

Rhizobium bacteria infect the roots of leguminous plants and form nodules where atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ammonia, a form readily utilized by plants. This natural process improves nitrogen nutrition and supports healthy crop growth.

Recommended Crops

Chickpea, Pigeon Pea, Green Gram, Black Gram, Soybean, Groundnut, Pea, Lentil, Cowpea, Cluster Bean, French Bean and all leguminous crops.

Recommended Dosage

Field Crops Dosage 2–3 kg/acre (Carrier) | 500–1000 mL/acre (Liquid)
Vegetables Dosage 2–3 kg/acre (Carrier) | 500–1000 mL/acre (Liquid)
Fruit Crops Dosage 20–50 g/plant (Carrier) | 0.5–1 L/acre (Liquid)
Application Time & Method Seed Inoculation / Soil Drench: Treat pulse and leguminous crop seeds before sowing.
