ABOUT US / Technology

 

Since it's inception in 1993, Kumar Krishi Mitra Bioproducts [I] Pvt. Ltd. has commercialised technologies [developed by Krishi Tantra Sanstha] to arm the farmers with six products to revolutionalise environment friendly agriculture.

 
 

The company has set up a full-scale fermentation plant to produce Liquid Biofertilizers, at Dhayri off Pune - Sinhagad road. Krishi Mitra is the only and largest producer of [Liquid] Biofertilizers in India.

Subsequently, our company has diversified produce Bio fungicides, Compost Kinetizers, bionematicides and Liquid Bio-fungicides.

  Liquid Biofertilizers: A dream come true!!!
 

Traditional carrier based Biofertilizers were facing lot of problems with commercialization and mass-production. There were limitations like the shelf life, application methods, storage conditions etc. that had to be over comed. Krishi Tantra Sanstha was successful in making the microbes survive in liquid form. This was possible when the microbes capable of forming dormant forms like cysts or spores were used as microbial inoculants.

 
 

A process was standardised to produce liquid bioinoculants. After rigid quality tests, the product was ready for commercialization. The details of survival dynamics of microbes in liquid form, of 80 batches of liquid biofertilizers, can be found in a paper which was published in March 25 issue of the Journal - "Current Science”. The process was awarded an Indian Patent for production of improved biofertilizers. The company is the only company in India to produce Liquid Biofertilizers.

Liquid Biofertilizers   

The Liquid Biofertilizers were initially developed for soil application Soil inoculants traded under the name " Bioplin " contain cysts of non-symbiotic Azotobacter species. These microbes are efficient nitrogen fixing organisms and solubalise insoluble phosphates. They colonize the rhizosphere efficiently and actively utilize the "C" in the root exudates. These microbes bring about improvement in germination and prevent fungi from infecting the seeds and the plants.

     
 

Second product developed "Vitormone " contains cysts of foliar or phyllosphere inhabiting Azotobacter. These microbes secrete plant growth promoting substances and vitamins, which bring about improvement in vegetative and reproductive growth. Foliar fungal infections are prevented. The concept of spraying Azotobacter on leaves is novel. This product is first of its kind in India. The product is gaining lot of popularity amongst the farmers.

Third product developed " Phosfert " contains cysts of non-symbiotic phosphate solubilizing Azotobacter species and spores of Bacillus Polymyxa These microbes solubilize insoluble phosphates [of Calcium and Iron] The microbes survive on carbon in the root exudates.

     
 

Bio fungicides: A broad spectrum Myco fungicide
Traded as "Combat". The product contains mixed cultures of Mycofungicidal spores of Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma lignorum, Gliocladium virens. These fungi provide a broad-spectrum control from various plant pathogenic fungi. Combat is a viable alternative to toxic chemical fungicides.

Compost Kinetizer: Recycle waste to reap wealth.
Traded as "Quik Kompost". The product aims as efficiently recycling of waste [biomass] to useful nutrients for crops. The product helps in accelerating and supplementing nature's fertility cycles.

Quik Kompost contains five species of fungi and three species of bacteria. High value compost can be prepared using Quik Kompost. This compost helps in reactivating, and reclaiming the soils disturbed by obsessive and excessive use of chemicals.

Bionematicide - "Catch & Kill nematodes"
Traded as Nemastin. The product contains spores of nematophagous fungi which bring about destruction of plant parasitic nematodes. Nemastin provides relief from highly toxic chemical nematicides, to some extent, which are in the process of being banned.

Liquid biofungicide - "Making way for the plants to breath fresh air devoid of mildew fungi and systemic chemical poisons".

Traded as Kill-Dew DP. The product contains spores of antifungal bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Kill-Dew DP can be used to prevent and control powdery and Downey mildew in all crops.
