Title of the Innovation: TP16 Biofertiliser

Brief About Innovation

TP16 Biofertiliser:-

A biofertilizer is a substance which contains living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. The developed product is the carrier base microbial formulation name TP16 Biofertiliser. The application of the bio-fertilizer TP16 reduces the amount of use of synthetic nitrogen urea by half the amount keeping intact the plant growth and harvest index of rice and fresh leaf yield in plantation crops tea. The secondary metabolites hormone, antibiotic and mineral solubilisation capacity of TP16 suppresses the deleterious effect plants caused by several minor and major fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. Likewise, the mineral solubilisation capacity of TP16; enhances the nutrient mobilisation of plants and its use efficiency of the plants. As a result the use of this product has multiple benefits in reducing the cost of economics to environmental issues arising out of synthetic agrochemicals. 

The technology is available for commercialization.
