"DEVELOPMENT OF SUITABLE FERMENTATION TECHNOLOGY AND DEMONSTRATION OF ASEPTIC PRODUCTION OF BIOFERTILIZERS"

Objective of the Project

Standardization of mass production technology of Rhizobial and PSB Biofertilizers

Creation of aseptic environment during all the stages of production

Upgradation of fermentation technology.

Large scale demonstration for Rhizobial and PSB Biofertilizers.

Under the project technology upgradation work has been undertaken at the two leading biofertilizer production units of Madhya Pradesh. In accordance with the project objective Cottage rental . We sell top end water heaters Buffalo and offer installation. . b101aw06 v.1 the project work is implemented at the following biofertilizer production units:

• Biofertilizer Plant, Madhya Pradesh State Agro Industries Development Corporation Ltd., Bhopal.
• Biotech Research Center, M.P. Cooperative Oil Seed's Grower's Federation, Dhar.

• At Biotech Research Center, M.P. Cooperative Oil Seed's Grower's Federation, Dhar, all necessary subsystems and automatic form fill seal machine installation work has been completed. Process optimization work is going on.
• Biofertilizer Plant, Madhya Pradesh state Agro Industries Development Corporation Ltd., Bhopal is the highest biofertilizer producing unit in the country. Presently installation of material handling system is being done. At this plant automatic form-fill- seal machine installation work has already been completed.
• Under the new aseptic technique inoculation of fermenter is done by mini-fermenter through pressure gradient. Mature broth recovery is done directly from the fermenter via storage vessel. Movement of carrier material and mature broth is done by conveyor belt and pressure gradient respectively. With this new technique the raw materials and the finished products are minimally exposed to the external environment thus resulting in better quality of biofertilizer with minimum or nil contamination. There is a significant improvement in shelf life and also remarkable increase in viable count in the final product.
• In accordance with the project's objective field trials on various crops like Soybean, Wheat and Gram has been done using Rhizobium and PSB inoculants. The field trials were conducted at the following places :

• RAK college of Agriculture, Sehore.
• College of Agriculture, Indore.
• Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidaylaya, Raipur.
• Zonal Agriculture Research Station, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidaylaya, Jagdalpur.
• M.P. Rajaya Beej Eavm Farm Vikas Nigam, Gwalior.
