Biocapsule, are newly formulated one having all the beneficial things in one pack. The organic manures Coir dust compost, vermin compost and poultry litter compost along with biofertilizer organisms Azospirillum and phosphobacteria were blended together and packed in a water dissolvable capsule. At present biofertilizer application is through seed treatment with some adhesive. But farmers are not applying the proper adhesive for seed treatment. Biofertilizer is mixed with water and coated over the seed. While handling the seed at the time of sowing all the treated biofertilizer were withered away from the seed. So a separate formulation was sought for to precisely place the beneficial microorganisms in the root zone of plant system. This is possible because of delivering the microorganism along with the seed. When root emerges from the seed, root will have contact with the beneficial organisms. These organisms colonize on the root surface as well as adjoining to the roots and multiply there it self. So the plant rhizosphere region will have lot of beneficial microbial activity. This will influence the plant growth. There will lot of influence on the growth of root system.. Because higher root growth plants will able to absorb more amount of nutrient from the deeper layer of soil. These growth promoters will also stimulate more fresh leaf growth, which will helpful for more photosynthetic activity.The organic manure present in the biocapsule contain all the macro and micro nutrients. Though the quantity is very less but for young seedling development this quantity is sufficient for early days. This organic manure also supports the growth of beneficial microorganisms mixed with the manures. The organisms multiply fast in the organic manure and deliver the good thing. The organic manures also influence the soil character in the root zone.The biocapsule is more useful for the crops, where the seedlings are raised separately in poly bag or in nursery beds. It is more useful for forest nursery development and horticultural crops which are raised in nurseries before transplanted in main field. For stem cuttings also this is more useful.Biocapsule is more beneficial to farmers for precisely placing the biofertilizer organisms and organic manure in the rhizosphere region of plant system. Precise delivering of beneficial things to the root region influence the crop growth and crop yield.
