1. Royal azotobacter
Azotobacter is a genus of bacteria that fix nitrogen in the soil, making it available for
plants. It can be used as a biofertilizer to improve soil health and plant growth. Owing to its
ability to improve plant health through nitrogen fixation, growth hormone production,
phosphate solubilization, plant disease management and reclamation of better soil health,
Azotobacter is one of the best options to be used as biofertilizer for eco-friendly and
sustainable crop production.
What is Azotobacter used for?
a. Biofertilizer: Azotobacter is used to improve soil health and plant growth. It can be used as
a seed treatment or applied to the soil.
b. Food additives: Azotobacter is used to produce food additives.
c. Biopolymers: Azotobacter is used to produce some biopolymers.
Recommended crops-
Royal azotobacter is mainly for non-legumes crops like Paddy, wheat, cotton, maize,
sorghum, oat, sugarcane, sugarbeat, brinjal, potato, tomato, cauliflower, onion, fruits,
oilseeds, medicinal plants, plantation and other crops.
Caution
a. Apply during evening in humid conditions. If conditions are dry, irrigate the land before
application.
b. Chemical fertilizers/insecticides should not be sprayed before or after 5 -7 days for best
results.
c. Do not mix with chemical fertilizers or insecticides at the time of application.
d. Store in cool place away from direct sun light and heat.
2. Royal rhizobium
Royal Rhizobium contains Rhizobium spp. These micro-organisms lives in association with
the roots of leguminous plant in the form of root nodules. These micro-organisms fix 50-100
kg of nitrogen per hectare (in one Crop season) the atmospheric Nitrogen in the roots &
make it available to plants which plants can’t fix directly. So directly makes soil fertile & also
increases the plant health. It also increase yield 15-20%.
Rhizobium is a genus of Gram-negative soil bacteria that fix nitrogen. Rhizobium species
form an endosymbiotic nitrogen-fixing association with roots of (primarily) legumes and
other flowering plants. The bacteria colonize plant cells to form root nodules, where they
convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia using the enzyme nitrogenase. The ammonia is
shared with the host plant in the form of organic nitrogenous compounds such
as glutamine or ureides. The plant, in turn, provides the bacteria with organic
compounds made by photosynthesis.
Recommended Crops
For all leguminous plants like Ground nut, Black gram, Green gram, Red gram, Cow pea,
Bengal gram, Mustard, Soy bean, French bean, Cluster bean, Lab-lab, Sesbania sp,
Leguminous trees, etc.
ROLE OF RHIZOBIUM
Rhizobium are known to form colonies on the root surface stimulating biological nitrogen
fixation and providing nitrogen to the leguminous crops and hence considered as a
significant process for improving yield and soil fertility.
3. Royal azospirillium
It is a Nitrogen fixing biofertilizer. Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all plants. It has ability to
reduce nitrate and denitrify. Azospirillium also stimulates growth and imparts green color
which is a characteristic of a healthy plant and helps in healthy growth of plants. It’s also
Encourages plumpness and succulence of fruits and increases protein percentage. Royal
Azosp. helps in fortification of the soils with bacterial metabolites and by secreting growth
promoters. Results in increased mineral and water uptake and also promotes root
development and vegetative growth.
Benefits of Azospirillum biofertilizer-:
a. Improves soil health: Azospirillum helps improve soil fertility and health.
b. Promotes plant growth: Azospirillum helps plants grow by releasing growth-promoting
hormones.
c. Fixes atmospheric nitrogen: Azospirillum helps plants absorb atmospheric nitrogen, which is
essential for healthy plant growth.
d. Reduces synthetic fertilizer use: Azospirillum can help reduce the amount of synthetic
fertilizer needed.
4. Royal PSB
Royal PSB is a phosphate solubilizing bio fertilizer. Phosphorus is a major nutrient for plants
inducing vigorous growth and also contributing to their disease resistance. Phosphorus
helps in root formation and plant growth. The plants utilize only 10–15% of phosphate
applied. The balance 85 – 90% remains in insoluble form in the soil. Thus, the residual
phosphate fertilizers in the soil can be well utilized and external application can be
optimized.
The Royal PSB has highly efficient phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus megatarium) that
grow and secrete organic acids, which dissolve this unavailable phosphate into soluble form
and make it available to the plants.
APPLICATIONS
a. It helps plants absorb nutrients instantly, resulting in a considerable and rapid boost
in crop yield.
b. Its application will improve nutrient absorption efficiency by reducing losses owing
to leaching and volatilization.
c. It stimulates various plant enzymes that are necessary for development.
d. It helps in the production of chlorophyll.
e. It is recommended for foliar as well as soil application.
5. ROYAL POTASH
Royal Potash is capable of solubilizing Potassium available in soil into the root zone of
plants. It works well in all types of soil. Use of such bacteria in powder form can increase the
availability of more potash in usable form to the plants. When applied to soil, potash
solubilizing bacterium multiplies, and helps to solubilize potassium fixed in soil. This
solubilized potassium is easily available to the plants and reduces Potassium application.
The solubilizing power is so high that it can save upto 50-60% of the chemical potassium
fertilizer.
ROYAL POTASH solubilize the unsoluble potash in the soil into easily available form to the
plants and it’s also immediately available to the plants stimulates flowering and fruiting and
Improves soil properties and sustains soil fertility.
6. Royal N.P.K
NPK biofertilizer play a vital role in solubilizing potassium from insoluble forms by producing
organic acids help in uptakes of other elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium etc.
NPK biofertilizer increases the resistance to crops from biotic and abiotic stresses and
improves the quality of fruits and grains.
BENEFITS :-
a. The main function of Potassium is activation of different enzyme systems involved in
the formation of organic substances and in the building of compounds such as starch
and protein.
b. Potassium is involved in triggering growth of young tissues and cell enlargement.
c. ROYAL NPK increases the sugar contents of crops such as sugarcane, fruits, grapes,
carrots and sweet potatoes.
d. ROYAL NPK includes resistance for diseases and pests in the plant body.
e. ROYAL NPK improves the tolerance of plants to various stresses like drought stress
etc.
f. ROYAL NPK increases the size of the fruits.
7. Royal Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae
Royal Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) is a symbiotic fungus that lives in the roots of
plants and helps them grow. VAM can be used as a biofertilizer to improve soil fertility.
Benefits of VAM
a. Increased nutrient uptake: VAM helps plants absorb nutrients like nitrogen, sulphur,
phosphorus, and micronutrients.
b. Improved plant health: VAM helps plants grow faster, resist disease, and tolerate
drought.
c. Increased root growth: VAM helps plants grow faster roots, which helps them
absorb more water and nutrients.
d. Increased resistance to pathogens: VAM helps plants resist soil-borne pathogens
and nematodes.
e. Increased resistance to drought: VAM helps plants tolerate drought.

Pulses (Moong, Tuber, Chickpeas), Soybean, Sugarcane, Sunflower, etc.
Fruit Crops – Banana, Mango, Grapes, Guava, Sapota, Pomegranate, Custard Apple, Orange,
Citrus Fruits, Coconut, etc.
Vegetable Crops – Tomato, Chilly, Brinjal, Onion, Lady’s finger, etc.
8. Royal sulphur
Royal sulphur is an enrich source of bacteria (Specially selected strain of Thiobacillus
ferroxidans) which helps to mobilize the sulphur from soil to make it easily available form to
the plants. It is one of the secondary nutrients to the plant growth and development and
mostly applied inadvertently along with primary nutrients as fertilizers or an amendment to
the soil.
Recommended crops : -
Suitable for all crops specifically oil seed crops, Aromatic and Medicinal plants. Rice,
Sugarcane, Orchards, Vegetables, Green House crops.
9. Royal zinc
This is the most important micronutrient both from the point of view of available
information and extent of deficiencies. There are vast areas where it is impossible to obtain
high crop yields without Royal Zinc application . Zinc is micronutrient of macro importance.
Mode of Action : -
Available Zn varies from traces to about 22 ppm representing 1-5% of total Zn. On an
average Zn is fixed in the soil in soluble form and is not available to the plants. Royal Zinc
contains very effective cell mass on Zinc solubilizing bacteria which help to convert insoluble
Zinc into simple and soluble form.
10. Royal bhoo Shakti gold
The main ingredients of this are filter cake, animal protein, neem cake etc. Incorporated
with BNF (nitrogen fixing) and PSB (phosphate solubilizing bacteria). This bio-fertilizer is
mainly prepare for ornamental and medicinal plants which are tender and are usually grown
for their quality. The use of in organic fertilizer impairs their quality hence Royal Bhoo Shakti
Gold has been particularly prepared for this specific purpose by mixing special ingredients.
Use is Forestry and Horticulture Gardens :
A. For raising nursery : Royal Bhoo Shakti bio organic manure may be mixed in the soil
followed by irrigation. Seeds or cutting may be planted as and when soil becomes workable.
B. For Transplanting : The pits of suitable size according to the plant species must be
dug and filled up with 1/3 soil + 1/3 sand + 1/3 Royal Bhoo Shakti bio organic manure. After
irrigation the pit is left so that is may sink down and the three may be transplanted in the
center when the soil becomes workable.
Why we promote organic?
a. Protect Future Generations
You receive four times the exposure of at least eight widely used cancer causing
pesticides in food. The food choice will impact your child's health in the future.
b. Prevent Soil Erosion
Soil is the foundation of the farming. But chemically fertilized soil is used excessively for
getting extra yield which causes the soil erosion.
c Protect Water Quality
Water makes up two third of our body mass and covers three fourths of the planet .
Chemical pesticides (some cancer causing) contaminate the ground water in polluting
the primary source of your drinking water.
d. Save Energy
More energy is used to produce synthetic fertilizers. Organic farming is based upon
labour-intensive practices such as weeding by hand and using green manure. Organic
produce uses less energy therefore saving in energy.
e. Keep Chemicals Off Your Plate
EPA considers 60% of all herbicides,90% of all fungicides and 30% of all insecticides are
carcinogenic. Chemical Pesticides are poisons designed to kill living organisms, and are
also harmful to humans. In addition to cancer, pesticides are linked to birth defects,
nerve damage and genetic mutation.
f. Protect Farm Workers Health
A Cancer Institute study found that farmers exposed to Chemical Pesticides had a six
time greater risk than non-farmers. Pesticide poisonings among farm workers have
raised an average of 14% per year. Field workers suffer the highest rates of occupational
illness.
g. Support a True Economy
Organic farming is less expensive than conventional farming, conventional farming do
not reflect hidden costs include pesticide regulation, testing, hazardous waste disposal &
clean up, and damage to the environment, which in and of it, is priceless.
h. Promote Biodiversity
Mono-cropping is the practice of planting large plots of land with the same crop year
after year. While this approach tripled farm production has left the soil lacking in natural
minerals and nutrients. To replace the nutrients, chemical fertilizers are used which only
compounds the problem.
i. Healthy Food
Organic farming starts with an abundance of nutrients in the soil, which leads to the
nourishment of the plant, which ultimately give true flavour, better taste and healthy
food. That's why many chefs use organic foods in their recipes.
j. Environment Friendly
Organic inputs are biodegradable, residual free, easy available, cost effective, do not
affect the balance of nature and non-pollutants.
