Srishti 500ml

Uses of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

• Sulfur Oxidation: Converts sulfur to sulfate, increasing nutrient availability and yields by 10–15%.

• Soil Health: Acidifies soil, improving nutrient uptak in sulfur-deficient soils.

• Cost Savings: Reduces chemical sulfur fertilizer use by 20–30%, lowering costs for cotton farmers.

• Eco-Friendly: Minimizes fertilizer runoff, protecting water sources.

• Pest Resilience: Enhances plant health, reducing nematode damage in turmeric.

Dosage and Method of Application

• Dosage: 500 mL–1 L per acre

• Methods:

  • Soil Drench: Mix Srishti with water and elemental sulfur; apply near roots during planting.

  • Soil Incorporation: Blend with compost and spread in fields before sowing.

  • Root Dip: Dip seedlings in Srishti solution during transplanting.

• Equipment: Use knapsack sprayer for drenching or irrigation systems for soil application.

• Compatibility: Avoid mixing with alkaline chemicals or pesticides to preserve bacterial activity.

Best Times for Application and Benefits

• Pre-Planting (Soil Preparation): Apply during land preparation for rice (e.g., June for kharif season) or sugarcane (e.g., February in India).
  Benefit: Early sulfur oxidation enhances nutrient availability, boosting yields by 10–15%.

• Seedling Stage (2–3 Weeks Post-Planting): Use for turmeric or tomatoes during transplanting.
  Benefit: Improves nutrient uptake, increasing turmeric rhizome yield by 10–12%.

• Vegetative Growth (4–6 Weeks Post-Planting): Apply via soil drench for rice or cotton during active growth (e.g., July–August for rice).
  Benefit: Enhances plant vigor, reducing nematode damage in turmeric.

• Avoid Late Application: Post-flowering use (e.g., September for turmeric) is less effective due to reduced nutrient demand.

Why Timing Matters: Early application maximizes sulfur availability in acidic soils, improving rice yields by up to 15% and reducing fertilizer costs.
