RootBoost - An Introduction

RootBoost is a Nitrogen fixing biofertilizer. RootBoost has highly efficient nitrogen fixing bacteria of Rhizobium species. Rhizobium is the most well known species of a group of symbiotic bacteria for atmospheric nitrogen fixation. These bacteria infect the roots of leguminous plants, leading to the formation of “lumps” or “Nodules” where the nitrogen fixation takes place. The bacterium also produces enzymes (nitrogenase) that supply a constant source of reduced nitrogen to the host plant.

Crops

Leguminous plants (groundnut, pulses such as Moong, Tuver, Chickpeas, etc.), Potato.
