K Sol B® - BMu contains endospores of Bacillus mucilaginosus. The composition is customised to comply with regulatory guidelines of respective countries. Bacillus mucilaginosus is a proprietary strain and compliant with National Bio Diversity Authority guidelines and has Access Benefit Sharing (ABS) agreement with the State Bio Diversity Board for payment of royalty to the habitat from where the microbes have been isolated. The strain is under Patent deposit certificate with Budapest Treaty recognised depository.
Carbon utilization"The bacteria contained in K Sol B ®-BMu on application to the soil get activated and multiply by utilizing the carbon source of soil or exudates of the root and in this process secrete organic acids and enzymes.
Metabolite production: Bacillus mucilaginosus produces organic acids and enzymes that help solubilize the potassium into exchangeable form and make it assimable by plants.
K Sol B® - BMu is available in the following formulations:
