NTHRYS Research Team has formulated Capsicum Plant Probiotics Formulation using a battery of Microbial Consortium (> 20 strains) to address all the above Objectives.

NTHRYS Plant Probiotics should not be mistaken as Biofertilizers. They are next generation plant supporting microbiome to support respective farmers to gain good profits with their produce.

Application Process :

Soil Treatment Before crop initiation :

1. The soil is treated with formulation, before initiating Capsicum planting.
2. 3 Lit of formulation is mixed with 100 Kg of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) 1 to 2 days before planting per acre.

Seed Treatment :

1. Capsicum seeds are treated with formulation.
2. The seeds are mixed with formulation for half an hour and dried under shade. ( 200 ml of formulation for 5kg of seeds ).
3. 1 to 2 ml of formulation is dropped on the soil where seed is sown. 

Transplanting: Not applicable for Capsicum as it is typically direct-seeded or transplanted as seedlings.

Disease Management in Capsicum :

1. Capsicum suffers from various pests and diseases like Spider Mites, Leaf Spot, and Viral Diseases.
2. Spraying formulation on the plant as well as at the base would help prevent these diseases and pest infestations.

Probiotic Dosage at Various Growth Phases:

1. Germination Phase: 500 ml of formulation + 150 lit water +  1.35 kg of Epsom salt one day before spraying per acre. This should be done after the Capsicum seeds have germinated or immediately after transplanting seedlings.
2. Vegetative Growth Phase: 1 lit of formulation + 200 lit water +  1.8 kg of Epsom salt one day before spraying per acre until plants are fully established.
3. Fruit Development Phase: 2 lit of formulation added to 300 lit of water + 2.7 kg of Epsom salt one day before spraying per acre from the beginning of fruit set. formulation Spraying and formulation + FYM mixture ( 3 Lit of formulation is mixed with 100 Kg of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) per acre) addition can be done once per every two weeks during active growth periods.
