Benefits to Plants:-
→ Helps plant system to maintain C: N ratio. Thus,
increases yield of dry matter.
→ Increases permeability leaf promoting spread and
intake of nutrients and systemic insecticides.
→ Provides beneficial effect to Enzyme System of plant to
produce enzymes in necessary quantity as required
by plant for growth.
→ Increases the rate of mitochondrial respiration.
→ Increases the number of branches, flowers and
fruits/pods/bolls per plant.
→ Induces early maturity in crops and increase the
keeping quality, colour, flavor and taste of fruits /
vegetables and flowers.
Benefit to Soil :-
→ Releases makes major and micronutrients form the soil
particles by chelating process and made readily
→ Retains water-soluble inorganic fertilizers near root
zone and releases them to plant when needed.
→ Possesses extremely high ion-exchange capacity,
which increases the soil- plant nutrient exchange
capacity.
→ Provides nutrient for the growth of soil bacteria
(Rhizobium and Azatobacter) increasing its population
in the soil and increases the activity of soil microbes.
→ Encourages the roots of the plant to penetrate deeper
into the soil and absorb more nutrients.
→ Increases the rate of phosphatification, thus increases
rate of conversion of non-available soil phosphorus
in to available form to plant. Saving on Phosphates
fertilizers.
→Controls Soil P, which is very important for nutrient
uptake by plant and H for root growth. This also is very
useful for soil to maintain its structure and texture.
→ Increases the porosity of soil. Therefore it boosts root
development, water- holding capacity and aeration
absorption of soil. Thus, acts as an excellent Soil
Conditioner.
