Granular Lime Based Microbial Formulations

Granular lime-based microbial formulations mitigate the drawbacks of soil acidity and simultaneously deliver beneficial microbes for effective growth and establishment of crops, ensuring optimal plant growth and nutrient uptake. This innovative single product can save labour cost and time involved in applying lime and beneficial organisms individually.

This formulation also benefits the crop by improving the physical condition of the soil, enhancing secondary nutrient availability, and by boosting soil microbial activity. The institute has filed a patent for this unique technology.

Available Formulations

For Acidic Soils

  • Tricholime – Trichoderma-enriched lime granules
  • Bactolime – Bacterial microbe-enriched lime granules

For Alkaline Soils

  • Trichogypsum – Trichoderma-enriched gypsum granules
  • Bactogypsum – Bacterial microbe-enriched gypsum granules
Key Benefits
  • Mitigates soil acidity simultaneously with microbial delivery — one product replaces two separate applications
  • Saves labour cost and application time
  • Improves physical condition of the soil
  • Enhances secondary nutrient availability
  • Boosts overall soil microbial activity
  • Promotes better plant growth and nutrient uptake
