1. AgriLife Rootambio® - GR can be mixed with basal dose fertilizers for broadcasting and ease of application.
2. Mix at recommended doses with compost and apply at early life stages of crop along with other biofertilizers
3. Long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Broadcast at recommended doses twice a year. The dose depends on the age of the plant. It is recommended to have first application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall/ spring season and second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn/ fall season.
Compatible with biofertilizers, organic fertilizers, organic manures, biopesticides, vermicompost, sea kelp (seaweed fertilizer), protein hydrolysates, organic carbon and rock phosphate
Granule formulation: AgriLife Rootambio® - GR can be mixed with conventional chemical fertilizers and can be broadcasted together.

AgriLife Rootambio® - GR is offered in India - as Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria – Biofertilizer under Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) of Govt of India with label claim of Bacillus megaterium with 5*10^7 CFU/g.
Can the microbes in AgriLife Rootambio® - GR survive and be effective in paddy rice type of submerged root crops?
Yes. The microbes get released slowly from the double roasted bentonite clay granules and the dissolved oxygen in paddy rice fields facilitate survival and growth in soil.
Are the microbes in AgriLife Rootambio® - GR aerobic or anaerobic?
All the microbes in AgriLife Rootambio® - GR are aerobic in nature and survive and grow using the dissolved oxygen in water.
Can AgriLife Rootambio® - GR be used along with chemically coated seeds while sowing in seed drill (ex: Captan, Thiram, Xiram, Zineb, Metalaxyl, Carbedazim and Carboxin) What % of beneficial microbes get affected and how can we recover this?
AgriLife Rootambio® - GR is a granule formulation. All microbes are INSIDE the granules. By mixing with chemicals and applying together - there is no real damage to microbes inside the granules.
