Description: ROM-Rhizobium is a nitrogen fixing bacterium that lives in symbiotic association with leguminous plants. These bacteria form root nodules in pulses, groundnut, soyabean and green manure crops and fix the Nitrogen (N) from the atmosphere benefitting the crop and soil. Nodules act like a mini fertilizer factory and continue to supply Nitrogen (N) until their decay. The leaf fall, root exudates and the decay of nodules contribute to enriching soil nitrogen. This renders use of less nitrogenous fertilizer to the succeeding crop after pulses or green manure cultivation. Native soil rhizobia are not as effective as selected elite rhizobia recommended for seed inoculation or soil application. We are one of the leading bulk manufacturers of Rhizobium biofertilizer in the country since 1995.

Specification: ROM-Rhizobium has a bacterial count of not less than 2 x 109 CFU per gram/ml. It is available both in powder and liquid formulations and can be easily applied to the soil by broadcasting (or) through drip irrigation.

Dosage: Apply ROM-Rhizobium @ 5 kg (or) 500 ml per acre. Use 5 kg of powder with farmyard manure (or) 500 ml of liquid with water for drip irrigation. For seed treatment, 1 kg (or) 250 ml of ROM-Rhizobium is recommended for the seeds required for 1 acre. This shall be mixed with adequate quantity of water, coated on the seed, shade dried for 30 min and then sown.

Target crops: ROM-Rhizobium is a Nitrogen (N) fixing bacterium and can be used in red gram, green gram, black gram, cowpea, bengal gram, horse gram, groundnut, soyabean, green manure crops etc. and approved for use in Organic Agriculture
