Benefits
Nitrogen Fixation
Herbaspirillum frisingense fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which enhances nitrogen availability for plants, supporting their growth and development.
Plant Growth Promotion
Herbaspirillum frisingense produces phytohormones like auxins and cytokinins, which stimulate root growth and increase the efficiency of nutrient and water uptake.
Biological Control
It exhibits biocontrol properties against plant pathogens by producing antibiotics and siderophores that inhibit pathogen growth, thereby protecting plants from diseases.
Phosphate Solubilization
It solubilizes phosphate in the soil, making it more accessible to plants, which improves their phosphorus uptake and overall nutrient status.
Dosage & Application
Seed Coating/Seed Treatment: Coat 1 kg of seeds with a slurry mixture of 10 g of Herbaspirillum Frisingense and 10 g of crude sugar in sufficient water. Dry the coated seeds in shade before sowing or broadcasting in the field.
Seedling Treatment: Dip seedlings into a mixture of 100 grams of Herbaspirillum Frisingense with sufficient water.
Soil Treatment: Mix 3-5 kg per acre of Herbaspirillum Frisingense with organic manure or fertilizers. Incorporate into the soil during planting or sowing.
Irrigation: Mix 3 kg per acre of Herbaspirillum Frisingense in water and apply through drip lines.
