P-Sol B
• Benefits the next crop also due to its residual effect. 
• Encourages early root development 
• Enhances soil health and soil fertility 
• Increases pest and disease resistance in crops 
• Produces organic acids like malic, succinic, fumaric, citric, tartaric and alpha ketoglutaric acid which hastens the maturity and increases the ratio of grain to straw as well as the total yield. 
• Secretes growth hormones to increase crop productivity 
• Stimulates formation of fats, convertible starches and result in healthy seeds 

Recommended for Paddy, Chillies, Cotton, vegetables, All Pulses and Horticulture crops.

BIO POTASH SOLUBILISING FERTILISERS
Frateuria aurenia
Plants grown for food take up and use large quantities of K. Potassium is essential for normal plant functions such as photosynthesis, protein formation, and water use. World consumption of potash has exceeded 30 million tons annually in recent years.

K-Sol B 
• Benefits the next crop also due to its residual effect. 
• Encourages early root development 
• Enhances soil health and soil fertility 
• Increases pest and disease resistance in crops 
• Secretes growth hormones to increase crop productivity 

Recommend for paddy, millets, pulses, oil seeds, vegetables and in horticulture crops.

BIO SULPHUR SOLUBILISING FERTILISERS
Thiobacillus thiooxidance

Sulfur is becoming more of a limiting nutrient in crop production than in the past, for several reasons: higher crop yields require more S; increased use of high analysis fertilizers containing little of no S; reduced amounts of atmospheric S fallout from the sky; and reduced soil S reserves from organic matter losses due to mineralization and erosion. Most S in the soil is tied up in organic matter and cannot be used by the plant until it is converted to the sulfate (SO4) form by soil bacteria. That process is known as mineralization.

S Sol B 
• Benefits the next crop also due to its residual effect. 
• Encourages early root development 
• Enhances soil health and soil fertility 
• Increases pest and disease resistance in crops 
• Secretes growth hormones to increase crop productivity.

Recommended for Rice, Sugarcane, Orchards, Vegetables, Medicinal and Aromatic plants.

BIO ZINC SOLUBILISING FERTILISERS:
Zinc is a rather unique element for plant nutrition. Zinc is not mobile in plants. This calls for a constant supply of bio-available zinc for optimum growth. Zinc-deficiency symptoms occur mainly in growth phase. Zinc deficient plants exhibit delayed maturity, short internodes and a decrease in leaf size. 
Zinc deficiency is related to reduced root growth and activity. Lower microbial activity in the soil decreases zinc release from soil organic matter. Zinc uptake by plants usually decreases with increased soil pH or with high phosphates content in soil.

Zn Sol B
Recommended for Rice, Sugarcane, Orchards, Vegetables, Medicinal and Aromatic plants.

BIO IRON SOLUBILISING FERTILISERS:
Iron is necessary for photosynthesis and is present as an enzyme cofactor in plants. Iron deficiency can result in interveinal chlorosis and necrosis.

Fe Sol B
Recommended for Rice, Sugarcane, Orchards, Vegetables, Medicinal and Aromatic plants.

BIO MANGANESE SOLUBILISING FERTILISERS:
Penicillium Citrinum
Carnobacterium spp.
Manganese is necessary for building the chloroplasts. Manganese deficiency may result in coloration abnormalities, such as discolored spots on the foliage.

Mn-Sol B
Recommended for Rice, Sugarcane, Orchards, Vegetables, Medicinal and Aromatic plants.

BIO ENZYME SECRETING FERTILISERS
Innoculation of the leaves with enzyme secreting Microbes and antifungal Microbes provides preventive control of foliar fungal infections in crops.

BIO COMPOST DEGRADING FERTILISERS
Compost degradation accelerating product consisting of a unique proprietary blend of cellulose degrading, starch degrading, protein degrading bacteria and fungi. 

SIL RICH
Commercially available Bio Compost Degrading Fertilizers are expensive and therefore it is recommended that farmers produce their own inexpensive Bio Compost Degrading Fertilizers.

Press Mud of sugar factories is available for free and farmers may have to incur only transportation expenses of about Rs 300 per MT. Similarly cow dung / farm yard manure are available at Rs 100 – 200 per MT. Bio Waste from fruit / vegetable mundies are available for free. Any bio mass available in the farm like paddy straw, sugarcane leaves, cotton stalks, mulberry dry plants etc can be utilised to make BioFertilizers in the field.

SILRICH - Inexpensive Digester 
SILRICH is a research product from RADOSOM, a R & D Centre recognized by Govt of India, Dept of Scientific and Industrial Research.

SILRICH is the biomass digester produced and offered by Agri Life.

SILRICH is made available in two step products viz. SILRICH - A & SILRICH - B.

SILRICH - A is recommended for primary digestion of cellulose and 1 Kg of this product is required per Tonne of Biomass.

SILRICH - B is recommended for enhancement of digested bio mass to become valuable BioFertilizer.

SILRICH - How to use?
Pulverise the biomass. Cow dung can be used as it is. Wet the biomass and store in shade for few days.

METHODOLOGY OF APPLICATION OF BIO FERTILISERS
Seed treatment: 
200 g of Bio Nitrogenous Fertilizer and 200 g of PSB are suspended in 300-400 ml of water and mixed thoroughly. Ten kg seeds are treated with this paste and dried in shade. The treated seeds have to be sown as soon as possible. 

Seedling root dip: 
For rice crop, a bed is made in the field and filled with water. Bio nitrogenous fertilizers and PSB are mixed in this water and the roots of seedlings are dipped for 8-10 hrs. 

Soil treatment: 
5 Kg each of the recommended Nitrofix, P Sol B and k Sol B are mixed in 200 kg of compost and kept overnight with sufficient moisture. This mixture is incorporated in soil at the time of sowing or planting. 5 Kg each of BioFertilizer is recommended dose per Ha.
