SKB – KMB (Potash Mobilizing Bacteria)
Advanced Biofertilizer for Unlocking Soil Potassium and Improving Crop Yield
SKB – KMB (Potash Mobilizing Bacteria) is a scientifically developed biofertilizer that enhances the availability of potassium (K) in the soil by converting insoluble potassium minerals into plant-available forms. Many agricultural soils contain large reserves of potassium locked in minerals such as mica, feldspar, and illite, which plants cannot absorb directly. KMB bacteria naturally solubilize these reserves through organic acid secretion and microbial activity, making potassium readily available to crops.
Research in agricultural microbiology has shown that Potash Mobilizing Bacteria improve nutrient uptake efficiency, strengthen plant metabolism, and increase tolerance to environmental stress. By mobilizing native soil potassium, SKB – KMB reduces dependency on chemical potash fertilizers while supporting sustainable farming and soil health.
It is suitable for a wide range of crops including cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, and plantation crops. Regular application improves root development, enhances crop vigor, and contributes to higher yield and better quality produce.

| Oilseeds (Soybean, Groundnut) | Pod filling and nutrient balance | 2 – 4 L | Soil application |
| Vegetables (Tomato, Chilli, Brinjal) | Fruit quality and plant vigor | 2 – 5 L | Drip or soil |
| Fruit Crops (Grapes, Banana, Pomegranate) | Yield and fruit quality improvement | 3 – 5 L | Drip irrigation / soil |
Application Time
Apply during land preparation or early crop growth stage for best results.
Compatibility
Can be applied with organic manure, compost, and other biofertilizers.
Scientific Working Mechanism
Potash Mobilizing Bacteria release organic acids such as citric acid, oxalic acid, and tartaric acid. These acids dissolve potassium-bearing minerals present in the soil and convert them into soluble potassium ions (K⁺), which plants can easily absorb through their roots. This microbial activity significantly increases potassium availability in the rhizosphere.
Studies in soil microbiology and plant nutrition have demonstrated that KMB application can increase potassium uptake by crops and improve yield performance compared to untreated fields.
