HALO-PSB
Technology Detail:
Phosphorus solubilising bacteria plays important role in dissolution of insoluble soil phosphorus through secretion of organic acids and other metabolites. When applied to soil, it converts insoluble form of P to soluble form and makes it available to the plants. The liquid formulation developed at ICAR-CSSRI, RRS, Lucknow has the following features • Formulation contains highly efficient salt tolerant strains of P solubilizing bacteria that can be used in normal as well as salt affected soils. • It ensures better root development and better nutrient uptake and thereby vigorous crop growth • Liquid formulation of Halo-PSB can be used for rice, wheat, mustard, maize and vegetables crops. • The liquid formulation is tested to suit soils with pH in the range of 7.5 to 9.7. • Inoculation of P solubilizer helps to augment 15 to 20 kg P₂O₅ haˉ¹. Keep soils biologically active and helps in soil health maintenance. • The liquid formulation has a shelf life of over one year at room temperature. • It is convenient to use as seed inoculation, seedling root dip and soil application.
