Mode Of Action:
VAM accumulates phosphate through its vesicles and arbuscules and can travel far from the plant roots in search of phosphate resources. It penetrates into the plant root cells, producing balloon like vesicles.
Benefits To The Crop:
Improves overall plant development and root growth.
It enhances phosphate uptake and mobilizes immobile nutrients like Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Bi, Mo and Mg.
It gets plant nutrients beyond nutrient depleting zone.
Besides these, it imparts resistance to plant against drought, soil borne fungal pathogens and nematodes.
Increases plant immunity and enhances product quality.
VAM supplements root hair in water absorption thus preventing reduction in crop relative water content of cells to overcome drought.
Target Crops:
Cereals, Pulses, Oil seeds, Fruits, Vegetables, Plantation, Fibre crops, Forest and Nursery.
Method of application and dosage:
Dose – 100 grams/acre
Application – Soil drenching, seedling dip, drip irrigation, broadcasting
Time – Seedling dip/drenching/drip irrigation at 7-10 days after sowing or transplanting.
Second application – Soil drenching at 25 – 30 days after first application.
Broadcasting – Mix the recommended quantity (100 gm/acre) of the formulation with well decomposed FYM or compost and broadcast in the field.
