🌿 EcoPhos – Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB)

Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) are beneficial soil microorganisms that convert insoluble phosphorus compounds into plant-available forms. They reduce the dependence on chemical fertilizers, improve soil fertility, and boost plant growth.

🔬 Major Types of PSB

  • Bacillus spp.: Species like B. megaterium, B. subtilis, and B. cereus are resilient PSB that solubilize inorganic phosphate efficiently.
  • Pseudomonas spp.: P. fluorescens colonizes the rhizosphere, produces phytohormones, and acts as a biocontrol agent.
  • Rhizobium spp.: Dual role – nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization, especially valuable for legumes.
  • Other Genera: Includes Azotobacter, Enterobacter, Burkholderia, Serratia and more, effective across diverse soils.

⚙ Mode of Action in Soil

1. Organic Acid Production 🍋

  • Chelation: Organic acids bind to cations (Ca²⁺, Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) holding phosphate, releasing PO₄³⁻ into soil solution.
  • pH Reduction: Acids lower soil pH locally, dissolving insoluble phosphates.

2. Enzyme Secretion

  • Phosphatases: Break down phosphoester bonds in organic matter.
  • Phytases: Hydrolyze phytic acid, unlocking phosphorus otherwise unavailable.

EcoPhos PSB enhances the phosphorus cycle naturally, reduces fertilizer costs, and promotes healthier, more productive crops.

🌱 EcoSulf – Sulphur Solubilizing Bacteria (SSB)

Sulphur Solubilizing Bacteria (SSB) are specialized soil microorganisms that enhance the availability of sulfur, an essential nutrient for plants. Sulfur is vital for forming proteins, amino acids (like cysteine and methionine), and vitamins. While sulfur is often present in soils, it usually exists in insoluble forms. SSB converts these into plant-available sulfate (SO₄²⁻), ensuring healthy crop growth.

⚙ Mechanism of Action

  • Oxidation: SSB oxidizes elemental sulfur and sulfides into sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), releasing sulfate ions.
  • Soil Acidification: Lowers soil pH and dissolves insoluble sulfur compounds, especially useful in alkaline soils.
  • Organic Acid Production: Some SSB secrete acids that chelate sulfur compounds.
  • Enzymatic Action: Enzymes break down organic sulfur into plant-available sulfate.

🔬 Key Species of SSB

  • Thiobacillus spp.: Including T. thiooxidans and T. thioparus, widely used in biofertilizers.
  • Acidithiobacillus spp.: Acidophilic bacteria that efficiently oxidize sulfur minerals.
  • Other Genera: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Arthrobacter also contribute to sulfur solubilization.

🌿 Agricultural Importance

  • Improved Nutrient Availability: Provides a consistent supply of sulfur for plant metabolism.
  • Enhanced Crop Quality: Essential for oil and protein synthesis in crops.
  • Reduced Fertilizer Dependence: Cuts costs by decreasing the need for chemical sulfur fertilizers.
  • Soil Health: Helps acidify alkaline soils, improving nutrient uptake and structure.

EcoSulf enhances sulfur nutrition naturally, improving crop yield, quality, and soil health sustainably.

🌱 EcoPotash-K – Potash Mobilizing Bacteria (KMB)

Potash Mobilizing Bacteria (KMB) are beneficial soil microorganisms that convert insoluble potassium (K) compounds into plant-available forms. Potassium is a crucial macronutrient for plant growth, influencing photosynthesis, water regulation, enzyme activation, and disease resistance. Although soils often contain abundant potassium, most of it is locked within minerals. KMB naturally mobilizes this hidden reserve, reducing the need for chemical potash fertilizers.

⚙ The Mechanism of Potassium Mobilization

  • Organic Acid Production: KMB secrete acids that dissolve potassium-bearing minerals like mica, feldspar, and illite.
  • Chelation: Organic acids bind metal ions and break mineral structures to free potassium.
  • Proton Extrusion: Some KMB release protons (H⁺), lowering local pH and enhancing mineral dissolution.
  • Exopolysaccharide (EPS) Production: EPS contributes to mineral weathering and potassium mobilization.

🔬 Key Species of KMB

  • Frateuria aurantia: Highly efficient in mobilizing potassium from various sources.
  • Bacillus spp.: Species like B. mucilaginosus and B. edaphicus are excellent mobilizers.
  • Acidothiobacillus ferrooxidans: Mobilizes potassium from silicate minerals via bioleaching.
  • Paenibacillus spp.: Known for strong potassium mobilization potential.

🌿 Impact on Soil & Plant Health
