Brief Description of Technology Including Salient Features:
The technology is based on a carbohydrate-polymeric product (referred hereinafter the product) derived from a weed plant associated halotolerant bacterium. Production of biopolymer is an induced trait of the isolated bacterial strain that can be synthesized under controlled laboratory conditions, and utilized either in crude form or prepared formulation for different purposes. The viscous liquid appearance of the crude product is suitable for treatment of seeds, seedlings, and could also directly applied to the field through irrigation water. Dose of the crude product depends on type of crop and mode of treatment like basal and foliar spray technique. The product can be also be used for making the beads to applied it in the field along with the seeds/seedlings/planting material in various concentrations according to the soil properties, moisture, and nutritional conditions principally for enhancing the water and nutrient use efficiency. The promising benefits of the product are as to improve the soil health by improving the soil physical and biological properties. This product has been tested for its properties to improve soil aggregation, microbial colonization, and water holding capacity of the soil. The product has shown its beneficial effects on plant as well. The availability of this product in rhizosphere (root zone) significantly enhances the microbial colonization and promotes the supply of nutrient to the crop through natural geo-cycles. Foliar application of the diluted product has shown positive influence to induce the drought tolerance of the plant. The excellent metals binding capacity of the product has wide scope for targeted and appropriate delivery of micronutrients to the crop. The use of biopolymer is recommended to supply essential nutrients to the crop plants to curtail the leaching losses of the applied fertilizer. Active ligands present on the product are the governing factors of its metals binding capacity. These ligands form associations with diverse kind of metal ions including micronutrients. The Biopolymer is also acting as sustained releasing reservoir of the micronutrients as it undergoes gradual microbial degradation in the soil.
