Azotob

Product overview

Grotec Agro Products Jeevan Sakthi Bio Jeevan Azotob is a naturally occurring beneficial diazotrophic bacteria - Azotobacter Chroococcum. Owing to their unique metabolism they can actively fix atmospheric nitrogen in soil by conversion to ammonia.  IT is used as an effective soil application product.  Over dependence and abuse of nitrogenous fertilizers based on chemical / fossil fuel has resulted in depletion of beneficial  soil microorganisms. Cost of chemical nitrogenous fertilizers in increasing progressively and making it unaffordable to farmers. Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is proven concept for over a century and is a cost effective proposition.

Benefits

  • Certain growth promoting substances released by these cultures are useful for increasing the seed germination, plant growth and yield.
  • In certain condition they also exhibit antifungal activities and thereby fungal disease may be controlled indirectly.
  • About 20% to 30% increase in crop yield can be achieved with the use of these cultures.
  • This diazotrophic bacteria having 1 * 109 CFU per ml count.
