Somzyme® has bioactive, biostimulant substances like cytokinins, auxins, gibberelins, betaines and other naturally occurring constituents of tropical seaweed. Somzyme® contains 50- 100 ppm of these biostimulant substances.
Somzyme® is made from a unique down streaming process after fermentation of seaweeds thereby enabling retention of all bio stimulant substances naturally present in Saragassum seaweed. Hence, it contains growth promoting biostimulants such as auxins, cytokinins, gibberelins, betaines, biologically activated nutrients and hydrolyzed protein complexes, all of which aid in cell division and cell elongation of roots and shoot and promote plant growth and tillering. Thus, Sargassum derived Somzyme® is more effective than extracts from temperate region seaweeds.
SomZyme® is available in the following formulations
The following table gives details on Application methods and doses for the different formulations
| Application type | Soluble liquid formulation |
| Dose | 2 ml/L water in early stage of plant Typical acre dose: 500ml – 1L Typical hectare dose:1.25-2.5L |
| Seed dressing | Not applicable |
| Soil application (Soil drench OR Drip irrigation) | Typical acre dose: 500ml – 1L Typical hectare dose:1.25 - 2.5L Drench soil with SomZyme® at early stage of crop cycle |
| Soil application (Soil drench OR Drip irrigation) for Long duration crops / Orchards / Perennials | Typical acre dose: 500ml – 1L Typical hectare dose:1.25-2.5L Apply 2 times in 1 Year. Before onset of monsoon and after monsoon |
| Foliar application | Typical acre dose: 500ml – 1L Typical hectare dose:1.25-2.5L Spray SomZyme® on crop canopy at early stage of crop cycle |
| Foliar application for Long duration crops / Orchards / Perennials | Typical acre dose: 500ml – 1L Typical hectare dose:1.25-2.5L Apply 2 times in 1 Year. Before onset of monsoon and after monsoon Spray SomZyme® at new leaf initiation stage post pruning of orchards / perennial crops. |
Soil application: Somzyme® can be used as under:
1. Mix at recommended doses and apply at early life stages of crop along with other biofertilizers / chemical fertilizers /chemical pesticides
2. Mix Somzyme® at recommended doses in sufficient water and drench soil at early leaf stage/ 2-4 leaf stage / early crop life cycle
3. Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to drip tank.
4. Long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Somzyme® at recommended doses in sufficient water and apply as a drenching spray near root zone twice a year. 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.
Foliar application:
1. Mix Somzyme® at recommended doses in sufficient water and spray on foliage. Apply twice a year for long duration crops. 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.
2. Spray SomZyme® at new leaf initiation stage post pruning of orchards / perennial crops.
Note:
Do not store SomZyme® solution for more than 24 hours after mixing in water.
Compatible with chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, chemical fungicides, biofertilizers, organic fertilizers, organic manures, biopesticides, vermicompost, sea kelp (seaweed fertilizer), protein hydrolysates, organic carbon and rock phosphate.
Store in ambient temperature, not more than 45 degrees Celsius. Keep container closed after use. Store in a dry place.
