Soil Application Method

  • Mix Bacillus Popilliae at recommended doses with compost and apply during early crop stages along with other biofertilizers. Apply twice for seasonal crops like vegetables: First application at land preparation stage / sowing / planting, second application three weeks later.

  • Drip Irrigation: If there are insoluble particles, filter the solution and add to the drip tank.

  • Long duration crops / Perennial / Orchard crops: Dissolve Bacillus Popilliae at recommended doses in sufficient water. Apply as a drenching spray near the root zone four times a year. First application before the onset of the main monsoon / rainfall / spring season, second application after the main monsoon / rainfall / autumn / fall season.
