​Azoto-Caps

Azoto-CAPS are capsule that contains a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium known as

Azotobacter. It is used as a biofertilizer for all non-leguminous plants, especially rice,
cotton, vegetables, etc.
It is an aerobic, soil-dwelling bacteria. It improves plant health through nitrogen fixation,
growth hormone production, plant disease management, and reclamation of better soil
health. They are aerobic bacteria and require high oxygen concentration for them to
function.

BENEFITS

• Stimulating other Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria.
• Promoting the breakdown of organic matter.
• Production of plant growth hormones. (Auxins & Cytokinins)
• Improved stress tolerance.
• Enhanced aeration.
• Improved Drainage.
• Increased Water retention.
• Reduced reliance on chemical fertilizers.

RECOMMENDED
• Preferred for long-duration or
larger crops except leguminous
and sugar-containing crops.
• Soil Preparation &
• Seed Treatment for better
germination of the crop.

Application Rate
- 1 Capsule (1g): Covers 1 acre of farmland.

PACKAGING
1 Box = 1 Capsule

How to Use Encapsulated Biofertilizers
Standard Method
1. Activation:
o Dissolve 1-3 capsules of the same type in 1 liter of clean water.
o Let the solution sit for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
o Solution Preservation: The activated one litre solution can be stored for a
maximum of 10-12 hours.
o Solution Usage: Once activated, the solution should be used within the 10-12 hour
period.
2. Application:
o Drip/sprinkler Irrigation: Mix the activated solution with the required amount
of water in a drum and insert a venturi. Irrigate the field with this solution.
o Drenching: Mix the activated solution with water and pour it directly onto the
soil near the plant roots.
o Broadcasting: Mix the activated solution with 50-100 kg of soil, vermicompost,
or sand per acre (or 125-150 kg per hectare) and broadcast the mixture.
o The amount of water required for irrigation completely depends on type of crop,
soil and climatic conditions.
Instant Method (Using an Activator)
1. Activation:
o Place up to 10 capsules of the same type in an activator with a small amount of
water.
o Pull the activator's string 10-12 times to dissolve the capsules.
o Solution Preservation: The activated one litre solution can be stored for a
maximum of 10-12 hours.
o Solution Usage: Once activated, the solution should be used within the 10-12 hour
period.
o The amount of water required for irrigation completely depends on type of crop,
soil and climatic conditions.

2. Application:
o Follow the same application methods as in the Standard Method (drip irrigation,
drenching, or broadcasting).

PRECAUTIONS: -
 Water Quality: Use clean, chemical-free water for activation.
 Storage: Store capsules in a cool, dry place.
 Timing: Apply biofertilizers at appropriate crop growth stages. Use Bio-fertilizer before
or after 6-7 days of use of chemical fertilizer or pesticides .
 Avoid Mixing with Chemicals: Do not mix biofertilizers with chemical fertilizers
