Field Application for AM Fungal Biofertilizer

a) Seed Treatment

• For 1 kg Seed treatment, mix 2 - 10 gm (Depending on seed size) of powder Mycorrhiza biofertilizer in sufficient quantity of water.

b) Soil Treatment

• Mix 4 - 5 kg of Granular AM Mycorrhizal biofertilizer with 50 kg power in Cow Dung/ Vermicompost/Soil.
• Blend well and broadcast it over one acre of land at the time of sowing.
• It can be used from sowing to 50 day of crop.

c) For Drip Irrigation

• An amount of 100 gm powder AM Mycorrhiza with 200 L of water is used for Drip irrigation.

d) For Spray

• Mix 50 gm powder Mycorrhiza with 100 L water and spray near the root zone.

e) For Trees

• For trees, Mycorrhizal biofertilizers are applied by two methods.
• Method – 1: Mix 100 gm of granular Mycorrhiza biofertilizer with 1 kg of soil/compost/FYM and apply it directly at the root zone of individual trees.
• Method – 2: Mix 10 gm pf powder Mycorrhiza with 1 L of water and apply it directly at the root zone of individual trees.

• An amount of 100 g of bulk inoculum is sufficient for 1 m².
• The Mycorrhizal inoculum should be applied at 2 – 3 cm below the soil at the time of sowing.
• The seeds/cuttings should be sown/planted above the Mycorrhizal inoculum.

g) For Polythene bag – raised crops (Pot culture)

• Mix 10 kg of Mycorrhizal inoculum with 1000 kg of Sand Potting Mixture.
• Pack the Potting Mixture in a Polythene bag before Sowing.
