SKB – VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza): Biofertilizer for Strong Roots and Higher Crop Productivity

SKB – VAM is a high-performance biological soil inoculant containing Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) fungi that establish a natural symbiotic relationship with plant roots. These beneficial fungi penetrate the root cortex and form vesicles and arbuscules that dramatically increase the plant’s ability to absorb essential nutrients such as Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, and other micronutrients from the soil.

Scientific research has shown that VAM fungi can expand the effective root surface area by up to 10–100 times, enabling crops to utilize nutrients and water more efficiently. This results in improved plant vigor, higher resistance to drought stress, better root development, and increased crop yield. SKB-VAM is especially useful in soils with low phosphorus availability where plants typically struggle to absorb nutrients.

By improving nutrient uptake and soil biological activity, SKB-VAM reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers and supports sustainable farming practices. It is suitable for a wide range of crops including fruits, vegetables, cereals, pulses, plantation crops, and horticultural crops.

SKB – VAM Features and Benefits

Strong Root Development
VAM fungi colonize plant roots and expand the root absorption network, improving nutrient and water uptake.

Improves Phosphorus Availability
Helps crops absorb phosphorus efficiently from soil, especially in phosphorus-deficient soils.

Better Plant Growth and Yield
Enhances crop growth, root biomass, flowering, and overall productivity.

Improves Drought Tolerance
Plants treated with VAM show better tolerance to water stress and drought conditions.

Enhances Soil Health
Supports beneficial soil microbial activity and improves soil structure.

Reduces Fertilizer Requirement
Improves nutrient efficiency which can reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers.

Eco-Friendly Farming Input
A natural biological product that supports sustainable and organic farming systems.

Mode of Action

After application in the soil near plant roots, VAM spores germinate and form a symbiotic relationship with the root system. The fungal hyphae extend far into the soil beyond the root zone, forming a vast network that helps plants access nutrients and moisture that roots alone cannot reach.

The fungus supplies nutrients and water to the plant, while the plant provides carbohydrates to the fungus. This mutually beneficial relationship improves plant health and nutrient efficiency.

Usage and Crop Recommendations

Method of Application
Mix SKB-VAM with well-decomposed Farm Yard Manure (FYM) or compost and apply near the root zone during planting or early crop growth stage.

Best Time of Application
Apply during sowing, transplanting, or early vegetative stage for best root colonization.

Compatibility

SKB-VAM can be used with most organic inputs and biofertilizers. Avoid mixing with strong chemical fungicides directly in soil at the time of application.
