• KBC PROM - Phosphate rich organic manure is a type offertilizer used as an alternative to Diammonium phosphate andsingle super phosphate.
• PROM is produced by co-composting of high grade rock phosphateand Bentonite Powder with organic manure such as Compost,Vermi-compost, Cow dung, Soy meal, domestic kitchen waste etc.
• It provides Phosphorous to the crops during Development Stageof the crops.
• Phosphorus is required by all plants but is limited in soil,creating a problem in agriculture In many areas phosphorus mustbe added to soil for the extensive plant growth that is desiredfor crop production.
Excess application of chemical fertilizers in fact reduces theagricultural production as chemicals destroy natural soil floraand fauna.
• When diammonium Phosphate or single super phosphate is appliedto the soil only about 30% of the phosphorus is used by theplants, while the rest is converted to forms which cannot be usedby the crops, a phenomenon known as phosphate problem to soilscientists.
• Microorganisms produce organic acids, which cause the slowdissolution of PROM-Granule added to the soil, allowing morephosphorus uptake by the plant roots.
Benefits of PROM( Phosphate Rich Organic Manure)
. This phosphate rich organic manure improves the physical,chemical and biological properties of the soil and
increases crop production
• It Consist of Organic Phosphorus: 8% , Total Organic Carbon10%.
• It improves electrical conductivity of soil and enhances theactivity of beneficial microorganisms in soil.
• Supplies phosphorus to the second crop planted in a treatedarea as efficiently as the first.
• It Provides micro-nutrients like cobalt, copper, zinc alongwith primary nutrients.
• Enhances the growth of soil microorganism that assist thedissolution of P either applied to the soil or naturally presentin the soil.
• It also balances the soil PH.
• It helps in humus formation.
• It also improves the germination percentage of seeds and helpsin effective root development.
• It improves the resistance power of crops against variousdiseases. It is a complete Eco-friendly product.
