Soil Kavach (PSB)
Soil Kavach (PSB) Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteira (PSB)
Soils Kavach PSB is one of the high potency biofertilizers and used for raising the availability of phosphorus from soils. One of the basic macronutrients, its role is mainly significant in growth for root development, transfer of energy, and metabolism in the plant. This macronutrient makes available the majority in the soil and exists in soils as an insoluble form in the majority proportion. It is known that beneficial bacteria in soil Kavach PSB secrete organic acids and enzymes that degrade insoluble phosphate compounds into plant-available forms. The process therefore increases soil fertility, strengthens the root system, enhances vigorous vegetative growth, and increases the quality of yields. In addition, it promotes diversity in microbes within the soil and therefore creates long-term health benefits in soils. This biofertilizer is environment-friendly, providing an alternative for chemical phosphorus fertilizers in reducing the use of synthetic inputs while maintaining sustainability in the soil. It has a high utility for a great variety of crops, including cereal, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruit crops, and commercial plantations.
📌 Mode of Action:
• Phosphate Mobilization – Releases insoluble phosphate, such as rock phosphate, into a soluble form through the action of organic acids and enzymes.
• Root Strengthening and Growth Enhancement: Enhances the growth of the roots, and thus, more nutrients are absorbed.
• Soil Microbial Booster – Induces beneficial microbial activity that, in turn, enhances the structure and fertility of the soil.
• Stress Tolerance – Improves the immunity of plants against drought and nutrient stress
📌 Benefits of Soil Kavach PSB:
• Improves Phosphorus Uptake: Converts unavailable phosphorus into easily absorbable phosphate, thus enhancing the uptake of phosphorus by the plants
• Increases crop fertility: It increases the number of microbes present in the soil and maximizes the decomposition of organic matter.
• Increases root development: High root development increases nutritional uptake and makes the plant more stable.
• Improves crop yield & quality: Maximum flowering, fruiting, and seed development take place
• Environment friendly & sustainable: No need to excessively depend on chemical phosphorus fertilizers, which degrade the soil
• Increases drought resistance: Good root development allows plants to wither away less and they can resist dry conditions.
• Compatible with Other Biofertilizers: It can be applied along with Trichoderma, Azotobacter, etc. to have better efficacy.
📌 Target Crops:
• Cereals: Wheat, Rice, Maize, Barley, Sorghum, Millets
• Pulses: Chickpeas, Lentils, Pigeon Pea, Green Gram, Black Gram
• Oilseeds: Mustard, Sunflower, Sesame, Groundnut, Soybean
• Vegetables: Tomato, Brinjal, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Carrot, Radish, Onion, Garlic
• Fruits: Mango, Banana, Citrus, Papaya, Pomegranate, Grapes, Guava
• Cash Crops: Sugarcane, Cotton, Tea, Coffee, Spices
• Plantation Crops: Rubber, Coconut, Areca Nut
📌 How to Use Soil Kavach PSB:
Soil Treatment:
• 2-4 kg per hectare of PSB powder mixed with compost.
• For liquid, 2-3 liters per hectare mixed with irrigation water and applied in the field.
Seed Treatment:
• 200 gm of PSB powder is mixed per 10 kg of seeds and applied evenly before seed implantation.
• For liquid application, 10 ml of liquid per kg of seeds is added to the water and applied as a seed coat.
Foliar Spray:
• 200-500 ml PSB liquid per acre in water, as foliar spray to crops before flowering stage for nutrition uptake
Drip Irrigation / Soil Drenching:
• Dilute with 2-3 liters per hectare using drip irrigation or add to farmyard manure and apply close to the root zone.
