Bio Sanjiveeni and Bhu Samruddhi: the two AMC packs
Powder and liquid Arka Microbial Consortium from IIHR. Same strains, different application.
On the Bloom brochure, Arka Microbial Consortium is two commercial packs. Bio Sanjiveeni is the carrier (powder). Bhu Samruddhi is the liquid. Both carry Pseudomonas taiwanensis, Azotobacter tropicalis, and Bacillus aryabhattai.
The powder is used as a soil drench (1 kg in 40 L), mixed into FYM or compost (5-10 kg per metric tonne, applied after 7-10 days), or filtered through drip (1 kg in 40 L). The liquid is 10 ml per litre as foliar spray or drip.
Bloom Biotech started in 2013 and states it was the first company in India to licence AMC from IIHR. Do not mix AMC with antibiotics, pesticides, or insecticides. Store cool and dry. The pouch or bottle in hand still governs dose and CFU if it differs from this note.
