BIOFERTILIZER-GROWTH PROMOTER

Frateuria aurantia is a beneficial bacterium capable of mobilizing the elementary potassium present in the soil towards the roots of the plants, after converting it into plant utilisable form. It works well in all types of soil especially low potassium content soil. Potassium (K) is considered as an essential nutrient and a major constituent within all living cells. Naturally, soils contain K in larger amounts than any other nutrients; however most of the K is unavailable for plant uptake. Application of chemical fertilizers has a considerably negative impact on environmental sustainability. It is known that potassium mobilizing bacteria (KMB) can solubilize K-bearing minerals and convert the insoluble K to soluble forms of K available to plant uptake. Potassium is essential in nearly all processes needed to sustain plant growth and reproduction. Plants deficient in potassium are less resistant to drought, excess water, and high and low temperatures. They are also less resistant to pests, diseases and nematode attacks.

Increases crop yields because it:

It increases root growth and improves drought tolerance Reduces chemical usage by 20% to 30% and maintains soil Health Builds cellulose and reduces lodging
Activates at least 60 enzymes involved in growth
Helps in photosynthesis and food formation
Helps translocate sugars and starches
Produces grains rich in starch
Increases protein content of plants Maintains turgor, reduces water loss and wilting
Helps retard the spread of crop diseases and nematodes.
