DESCRIPTION
Shriram Ziva (Soil) Mycorrhiza Bio-Fertiliser Details :
- Shriram Ziva (Soil) is a Mycorrhiza-based bio-fertiliser formulated for soil application. It enhances soil health by establishing a symbiotic relationship between beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots, resulting in improved nutrient absorption, stronger root systems, and higher yields. Suitable for basal and broadcasting methods in a wide range of crops.
- Technical Name : Mycorrhiza-based Bio-Fertiliser
- Mode of Action : The mycorrhizal fungi in Shriram Ziva colonize the plant roots and extend their hyphae into the soil, increasing the effective root surface area. This improves water and nutrient absorption, particularly phosphorus, while also improving soil structure and microbial activity.
- Method & Time Of Application : Apply Shriram Ziva (Soil) at a rate of 2.5–5 kg per acre by basal application or broadcasting at the sowing stage or during the first irrigation. Ensure uniform distribution in the field and cover with soil for best results.
Features and Benefits:
- Improves soil fertility and plant nutrient uptake efficiency (NUE)
- Promotes faster and deeper root development
- Enhances vegetative growth and plant vigor
- Increases yield quantity and quality
- Supports sustainable soil health and microbial diversity
- Crops : Ash gourd, Bajra, Beetroot, Bhindi (Okra), Bitter Gourd, Bottle Gourd, Brinjal (Eggplant), Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Chilli, Coriander, Corn, Cotton, Cowpea, Cucumber, French Bean, Groundnut, Knol Khol, Muskmelon, Mustard, Onion, Paddy (Rice), Pea, Potato, Pumpkin, Radish, Ridge Gourd, Soybean, Spinach, Sponge Gourd, SSG, Sugarcane, Sweet Corn, Capsicum, Tinda, Tomato, Watermelon, Wheat, Yard Long Bean, Bushbean, Cumin, Cluster Bean.
- Dosage : 2.5–5 kg/acre
FAQs for Shriram Ziva Soil Mycorrhiza Bio‑Fertiliser
1. What is Shriram Ziva and how does it work?
Ans. Shriram Ziva contains Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, expanding the nutrient-absorbing surface area and improving water uptake, especially phosphorus and micronutrients like iron or zinc
2. What are the main benefits of using Ziva?
Ans.
- Enhances nutrient uptake efficiency (NUE), reduces need for chemical fertilizers
- Promotes stronger root growth, vegetative vigour, and sustainable yield increases
- Supports soil health, microbial diversity, and stress resilience (drought, salinity, soil pathogens)
3. Which crops can be treated with Shriram Ziva?
Ans. Recommended for a wide range of crops including cereals (rice, wheat, maize), pulses, vegetables (tomato, brinjal, cabbage, cucumber), cotton, sugarcane, and oilseeds like groundnut and mustard — over 30 crop types supported
4. What is the correct application method and dosage?
Ans.
- Dose: 2.5–5 kg per acre
- Apply: Basal soil application or broadcast during sowing or at first irrigation
- Ensure uniform spread and lightly cover with soil for effective root colonization
5. When is the best time to apply it?
Ans. Apply at sowing or at the first irrigation to establish early root colonization and optimal nutrient uptake throughout the crop cycle
6. How quickly can farmers expect to see results?
Ans. Phenotypic benefits like enhanced root proliferation and vigor appear within days to weeks, while yield and nutrient-use improvements unfold as the mycorrhizal network strengthens over the cropping season
7. Does Ziva reduce fertilizer usage?
Ans. Yes—studies show mycorrhizal inoculation can allow 20–40% reduction in phosphorus or nitrogen fertilizer, while still maintaining or increasing yield levels
