Nodmor is a biofertilizer containing microencapsulated Rhizobium spp., a bacteria forming symbiotic association with soybean, pulses and other leguminous crops. It colonizes root cortical cells, forms root nodules and converts atmospheric nitrogen to NH4 form, which is readily utilized by the plant.
SMART SEED TECHNOLOGY for better germination, seedling vigour, nodulation and N2 fixation.
Mode of Action
- Establishes a mutual beneficial relationship with leguminous plants
- Produces plant growth promoting substances viz., IAA, & gibberellins, which stimulates seed germination, root hair formation, root curling, entry & infection by rhizobia, infection thread and nodule formulation in roots
- Fixes atmospheric N2 in the root nodules in NH4+ form, which is directly assimilated and utilized by plants
- Enriches soil N content for subsequent crops
- Enhances rhizhospheric beneficial microbial activities for better plant and soil health
- Higher protein content in grain legumes is due to N2 fixation by Rhizobium
Nodulation process in legumes
Benefits
- Represents a renewable source of N for agriculture
- Forms effective (N2-fixing) symbiosis with their host legumes under salt, heat, and acid stresses
- Increases nodulation, N2 fixation, N availability and N uptake in the inoculated plants
- Increase in yield of the crops
- Improves soil health and benefits the succeeding crop
