NITRY (Rhizobium)
Packing available: 1kg, 1/5/20lit
Rhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative, rod shaped, motile bacteria, non sporulating, mesophyllic aerobic soil bacteria fix nitrogen through symbiotically with the roots of legume plants and makes it available to plants. Martinus Beijerinck was the first to isolate and cultivate from the nodules of legumes in 1888.The first species of rhizobia, Rhizobium leguminosarum, was identified in 1889. It fixes the atmospheric nitrogen 22-40 kgs per hectare.
Nitrogen cannot be absorbed by the plants owing to the strong triple bonds between the nitrogen atoms making it inert and therefore non assimable by plants. The symbiotic relationship implies a signal exchange between the rhizobia and the legume that leads to development of symbiotic structures. The roots of host legume plant secretes flavonoids which are recognized by the Rhizobia. In response, the rhizobia secrete nod factors recognized by the plant causing root hair deformation and cellular processes such as ion fluxes.
The plant supplies the bacteria with carbohydrates, proteins, and sufficient oxygen so as not to interfere with the fixation process. Leghaemoglobins are secreted which are plant proteins similar to human hemoglobins that help to provide oxygen for respiration while keeping the free oxygen concentration low enough not to inhibit nitrogenase activity. Reduce dosage requirement of synthetic nitrogenous fertilizers. Improves soil fertility for next crop. It encourages early and better seed germination Increases grains yield
Crops: is suitable for application on leguminous crops such as Ground nut, Black gram, Green gram, Red gram, Cow pea, Bengal gram, Soy bean, French bean, Cluster bean, Lab-Lab, Sesbania and many more of the legume species.
Dosage:
Seed Treatment – Mix 1/2kg jaggary solution in 250ml /500g of NITRY and mix the seeds required for an acre
Seedling treatment: Mix 100 g. Nitry with sufficient quantity of water and organic manure to form a slurry. The seedlings are dipped in this slurry for 30 minutes prior to planting so that the bacteria get attached to the roots.
Soil Treatment: Apply 3-5 lit of NITRY in 50kg well decomposed FYM/compost/vermin compost/field soil thoroughly and broadcast in the field before sowing/planting or in the standing crop
Drip Irrigation: 3litr per ac per round
Note: Do not store treated / coated seeds more than 24 hrs
Cfu/ml – 1x 1010
