VAM 4kg

VAM is a biological fertilizer containing beneficial mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus. VAM fungi colonize plant roots and develop structures called vesicles and arbuscules inside the root cells, promoting efficient absorption of nutrients from the soil.

  • Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Improves absorption of phosphorus, zinc, and other micronutrients from the soil.
  • Better Root Development: Encourages the formation of fine root hairs, expanding the plant's root network.
  • Improved Soil Structure: Helps in soil aggregation, reducing soil erosion and improving water retention.
  • Stress Tolerance: Increases plant resistance to drought, salinity, and other abiotic stresses.
  • Sustainable Agriculture: Promotes eco-friendly farming by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
  • Biological Nature: Safe for the environment and non-toxic.
  • Supports Regenerative Agriculture: Encourages natural nutrient cycles.
  • Long-Term Impact: Mycorrhiza persists in the soil, providing continuous benefits.
  • Eco-Friendly: Reduces phosphorus runoff into water bodies, preventing eutrophication.
  • VAM spores germinate and establish contact with plant roots.
  • Mycorrhizal fungi penetrate the roots, forming arbuscules inside the cells, which facilitate nutrient exchange.
  • The fungi also form vesicles, which act as nutrient storage structures.
  • The fungal network extends beyond the root zone, accessing nutrients in areas that roots cannot reach.
  • Nutrients like phosphorus and trace minerals are efficiently delivered to the plant, enhancing growth.

Crop Suitability:

  • VAM is effective for vegetables, fruit crops, pulses, cereals, oilseeds, and ornamentals.
  • Best results are seen in crops with high phosphorus requirements.

 

Application Methods:

Soil Application:

  • Mix 4-8 kg of VAM granules per acre with compost or organic manure.
  • Apply near the root zone for maximum efficiency.

 

Dosage:

  • Field crops: 4 kg/acre
  • Horticultural crops: 4-6 kg/acre
  • Nurseries: 25-50 grams per plant

 

  • Storage: Keep the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Handling: Use gloves while handling to avoid contamination.
  • Compatibility: Do not mix with chemical fungicides, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the mycorrhizal spores.
  • Improved crop yield by 15-30% due to enhanced nutrient uptake.
  • Reduction in chemical fertilizer use, especially phosphorus.
  • Better plant health, resulting in greener foliage, faster growth, and better flowering/fruiting.
  • Long-term soil fertility through improved microbial activity.

VAM fertilizer is an essential tool for sustainable agriculture, offering natural ways to enhance plant health and soil fertility. Coating VAM spores on bentonite granules ensures easy application and better shelf life. Its ability to form beneficial partnerships with plants makes it an indispensable input for farmers aiming to reduce chemical dependency and improve yields.

By incorporating VAM into your farming practices, you not only boost crop productivity but also contribute to environmental sustainability.
