Benefits
Dosage & Application
The water-soluble powder formulation of Serratia marcescens is designed for ease of use and maximum efficacy across various applications, including bioremediation, pest control, nutrient cycling, and agricultural support. Follow the instructions below to ensure optimal results.
General Guidelines
Preparation:Dissolve the required quantity of S. marcescens powder in clean, non-chlorinated water. Chlorinated water may reduce bacterial activity. Use a container or tank with adequate mixing capability to ensure the powder dissolves evenly.
Activation Time:Allow the solution to sit for 15-30 minutes after mixing to activate the microbial population before application.
Application Timing: Apply early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid high temperatures and UV exposure, which can reduce bacterial efficacy.
Dosage Recommendations
1. Bioremediation of Soil and Water
Target: Heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and organic pollutants.
Dosage: Dissolve 1-2 kg of powder in 200-400 liters of water per hectare for soil application. For water bodies, use 5-10 g per cubic meter of contaminated water.
Application: Spray uniformly over the contaminated area or introduce directly into the polluted water body. Reapply every 3-4 weeks for sustained results.
2. Pest Biocontrol in Agriculture
Target: Soil-borne pests and pathogens.
Dosage: Dissolve 500 g of powder in 100 liters of water per hectare.
Application:Foliar Spray: Use a sprayer to apply evenly over plant foliage. Soil Drench: Apply directly to the root zone for pest suppression and nutrient cycling.
Frequency: Reapply every 2-3 weeks or as needed based on pest pressure.
3. Nutrient Cycling in Organic Agriculture
Target: Soil enrichment and nutrient recycling.
Dosage: Dissolve 1 kg of powder in 200 liters of water per hectare.
Application: Apply as a soil drench or through fertigation systems.
Frequency: Apply once at the start of the growing season and repeat every 4-6 weeks for ongoing soil health improvement.
4. Hydrocarbon and Waste Biodegradation
Target: Hydrocarbons and organic waste in soil or industrial effluents.
Dosage: Dissolve 1-2 kg of powder in 200-400 liters of water per hectare.
Application: Spray over the waste site or contaminated area, ensuring even coverage. For industrial effluents, introduce directly into the waste stream.
Frequency: Reapply every 4 weeks until complete remediation is achieved.
