AMR Foundation

Bio Tech Fertilizer

The whole universe comprises of Sun, Air, Soil & Rock.

The most impressive attribute of Earth is the existence of water and the Micro-organism. This makes earth unique in the universe

We all know that water is very essential for survival. Similarly, we should understand the importance of microbes also. Our alliances with microbes have repeatedly changed the course of animal evolution and transformed the world around us.

Microbes provide nitrogen and other nutrients to plants, without which the Earth would experience a catastrophic de-greening. If we destroy water and microbes, Earth will one day loose its life and become unfit for survival.

As a human being, we should save Water and Microorganisms to maintain healthy eco system for healthy Human civilization and protect Earth.

At Present Agriculture Practice most of farmers use chemical fertilizer: In order to meet the growing need for food, agricultural land per unit area required to achieve maximum efficiency and highest quality product.

Health Issues caused by chemical fertilizers

It not only spoils soil health, also affects farmer’s health as they are directly in contact with the dangerous chemicals on daily basis. Ultimately the consumer also getting affected by consuming vegetable, rice, fruits, etc., which are produced through chemical fertilizer and pesticides.

At worst, chemical fertilizers may increase the risks of developing cancer in adults and children and adversely affecting fetal brain development. A 1994 study by the University of Wisconsin suggest show that typical concentrations of nitrate (a common fertilizer) and a pesticide in the groundwater may compromise the nervous, endocrine, and immune system of young children and developing fetuses.

AMR FOUNDATION main aim is to promote agricultural practice by using bio fertilizer.

Bio Fertilizer is a Natural Process

Bio fertilise are natural fertilizer that are microbial inoculants of bacteria, alge and fungi. Most of the minerals present in the soil are non-soluble. Microorganism do bio mining, Microorganism sits on the minerals and helps to break the chemical bond between ions and solubilise them into ionic form and delivers to the plant. Consumerism and fast paced lifestyle has affected agricultural practises adopted several years before. Before the invention of chemical fertiliser, organic manure were used which helped the soil microorganism to maintain its quality agriculture was done in an eco-friendly way.

Chemical fertilizer increase crop production but it destroy massively the essential microorganism and degrade the quality of the soil as well as the nutrients from our food. We suffer from all modern day disease like diabetes, heart, cancer, asthma etc.

AMR foundation is determined to promote a sustainable living. Our concern is quality as well as quantity agriculture production to improve farmer wealth. Hence we promote and follow agricultural practices using bio-fertilisers. We need to understand that fact that we do not inherit from our ancestor. We do barrow it from our children. Let’s keep this is in mind and embrace every living thing that thrives and this earth. Let’s protect nature for the future generation and that’s the ultimate moto of AMR Foundation.

List of Bio Fertilizer

Acetobacter –nitrogen fixation bacteria

Azospirillum –nitrogen fixation bacteria

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria

Potash solubilizing /mobilizing bacterium

Potash solubilizing/mobilizing bacterium

Sulfur solubilizing/mobilizing bacterium

Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM)

Significant benefits of using VAM

Protect from soil borne disease like pathogens.

Mycelium can spread in-depth around 10-15cm in the soil.

Uptake more phosphorus, Sulfur and Calcium

It will help the plant to uptake nitrogen.

Uptake micronutrients Cu, Zn, Fe,

The release of glomalin in the soil environment results in better soil structure.

It helps plant to withstand in stress condition

In drought condition, it sends the signal to leaf and stomata closed, it protects water transpiration, so plant can survive in good condition.

When the rainy season, it sends the signal to leaf and stomata will open more to make more transpiration to balance the wet condition.

Helps to store more starch .

Contribute to maintain soil quality and nutrient cycling

Contribute to control soil erosion

VAM is a fungus which penetrates a vascular plant’s roots to support them to capture nutrients from the soil.

In the present agricultural system, the discriminate use of synthetic chemical fertilizers has predominantly increased throughout the world. Moreover, using excessive use of fertilizers to increase production deteriorates the various soil qualities and pollute water body environment. So, using VAM fungi as a biocontrol agent in modern sustainable agriculture, in terms of various parameters like reduction of damage caused by various pathogens, cost effectiveness, energy saving and also as an environment friendly, is a promising perspective in modern agriculture Readmore.. Readless..
Present agriculture system increasing demand for low-input agriculture and creates greater interest in soil microorganisms which are able to accelerate plant nutrition, health and improve soil quality. The importance of VAM in increasing food production is far and wide; therefore, these can be used in modern sustainable agriculture particularly as biocontrol agent.

Mycorrhiza are of 2 types, one is Ecto-Mycorrhiza and other one is Endo – Mycorrhiza.

Ecto-Mycorrhiza – is normally used for crops that grow as trees.
For other crops we have to use Endo-mychorrizha which is called as Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza.
VAM mixed in the soil in the initial stage of crop cultivation will prevent the soil from disease.
The roots of a plant penetrate the soil only to some extent. But after applying VAM, the mycelium grows well and when 10-15 cm mycelium structure moves into the soil, it will help the root penetrate the soil well and the absorption of nutrients is made easier. Especially the Phosphorous, Nitrate and also the micro nutrients are absorbed by plants in a week time from soil if we use VAM.
If we notice malnutrition in any crop, leaves will become pale green in color. When we apply VAM to this crop, it will help the plant to absorb more nutrients present in the soil and the crop will become healthier within a week. Till date, we are dependent on the humus present in the soil to increase organic carbon. As per research, the VAM secretes a protein molecule called glomalin which acts as a glue to bind the soil. The release of glomalin in the soil environment results in better soil structure and higher organic matter content. Also, VAM helps to absorb the carbon present in carbon-di-oxide from environment and convert it to organic carbon thereby increasing the organic carbon in soil. This process is one way of carbon sequestration which in turn helps to reduce the global warming.
During summer VAM support crops to overcome the stress condition due to drought. Normally excess water in the tip of the leaves will evaporate. But VAM applied to crops will give signal to the plant about the drought and the tip of the leaves will close which will stop the evaporation of water. At the same time during rainy season, it will make the leaves open the tip and make excess water evaporate. So VAM supports the crop to overcome the problem in both seasons.
Due to its benefits, more than a micro-organism it is considered as boon to agriculture and farmers.
