## Questions

### Which pack should I use?
Start with Find your solution: pick your crop, then what you are dealing with. If your crop is not listed, most of our packs work across crops — send us the crop and the acreage and we will tell you which one fits.

### How do I apply it?
Four ways, depending on the pack. Drench it over the root zone, mix it into FYM or compost, run it through a filtered drip line, or spray the liquid at 10 ml per litre. The pack prints the dose for that product.

### Powder or liquid?
Powder suits soil drenching and enriching FYM or compost. Liquid suits drip and foliar spray. Same organisms — what you already use in the field usually decides it.

### Can I mix it with pesticides or fungicides?
No. These are living organisms and chemicals kill them. Keep a gap of a few days between a chemical spray and a biological application.

### Can I use biological products with my existing crop-management program?
Yes. They go in through the routes you already use — FYM, compost, neem cake, drip or a spray — so the routine barely changes. The only rule is timing: never in the same tank as chemical pesticides, fungicides or insecticides. With Calcare, take care alongside high-phosphorus fertilizers.

### How should I store the product?
Somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, in the pack it came in. NutriCare C2 and AscoGold stay below 25°C. The biologicals are living organisms, so a hot store or a sunny shelf cuts their life short.

### How long does it keep?
Six months from the month of manufacture for the consortia. Every pack carries its own batch and expiry.

### What should I do if my pack is near expiry?
Use it before the date printed on the pack — after that, the count on the label no longer holds. If a pack reached you already close to expiry, call +91 88845 68019 with the batch number.

### How do I identify the genuine product?
Read the label. Every Bloom pack prints the batch number, month and year of manufacture, expiry, MRP and net content, with the licence and CIBRC registration numbers. The IIHR-licensed packs also carry the ICAR, IIHR and 100% Organic marks and the line “R&D by Indian Institute of Horticultural Research”. If anything is missing or looks altered, WhatsApp a photo of the label to +1 (555) 148-0890 before you use it.

### Where can I buy Bloom products?
Directly from the plant in Chikkamagaluru. WhatsApp +1 (555) 148-0890, call +91 88845 68019, email bloombiotech@gmail.com, or send an enquiry from this site. There is no online shop — the plant quotes against your crop and area.

### Do you supply directly to farmers?
Yes. Tell us the crop, the area and whether you want powder or liquid, and the plant quotes you directly.

### Do you supply dealers/distributors?
Yes. Choose Distributor or Retailer on the enquiry form, or WhatsApp +1 (555) 148-0890, and tell us which packs you want to carry.

### What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the pack and the order. Tell us what you need and the plant confirms it with the quote.

### What does it cost?
We quote from the plant rather than publishing a price list. Send us the crop, the area and whether you want powder or liquid, and you get a price against that.

### How can I get technical assistance?
WhatsApp +1 (555) 148-0890 or call +91 88845 68019 during working hours, or email bloombiotech@gmail.com. Tell us the crop, the area and what you are seeing in the field — a photo helps — and the plant will help with the pack, the dose and how to apply it.

### Bio Sanjiveeni and Bhu Samruddhi: the two AMC packs
- URL: https://bloombiotech.vercel.app/journal/what-arka-microbial-consortium-does
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.

### Coffee pulp, FYM, and coco-peat: Bloom Compost Culture
- URL: https://bloombiotech.vercel.app/journal/soil-biology-coffee-chikkamagaluru
Bloom Compost Culture is the Aspergillus powder tied to IIHR Arka Fermented Cocopeat technology. Bloom was first in India to licence that technology.

Coffee pulp: 2 kg culture per metric tonne of pulp, windrow, 30-45 days. FYM: 3 kg per tonne, 45 days. Green leaf or farm waste: 1 kg per tonne, 30-40 days. Raw moist coco-peat: 4 kg culture plus 4 kg urea per tonne, 30-40 days.

Do not mix the culture with antibiotics, pesticides, or insecticides.

### Bluderma and Blumonas: what the brochure actually says
- URL: https://bloombiotech.vercel.app/journal/trichoderma-in-wet-nurseries
Bluderma is Trichoderma harzianum / viride for damping-off, wilt, root rot, charcoal rot, and collar rot. Carrier CFU 10⁷ per g; liquid 10⁹ per ml.

Blumonas is Pseudomonas fluorescens for soil-borne and foliar diseases (mildews, anthracnose, blast, blights, rots). Carrier CFU 10⁹ per g; liquid 10¹¹ per ml.

Both: 1 kg in 40 L as a root drench; 10 kg in 1 MT FYM or compost, apply after 7-10 days; 1 kg in 50 kg neem cake, apply after 1 week. Do not mix with fungicides, pesticides, or insecticides.

### Two catalogues on one board: IIHR biology and imported nutrition
- URL: https://bloombiotech.vercel.app/journal/how-dealers-should-quote-microbials
Quote the IIHR line and the imported nutrition line as separate stories. Bio Sanjiveeni, Bhu Samruddhi, Bio Astra, Bluderma, Blumonas, Bio Vanish, Bio Erase, Bio Hit, Bio Ace, and Bloom Compost Culture sit with the IIHR collaboration.

Jackpot (potassium humate), Fulcare (potassium fulvate), Calcare (fulvic + 30% Ca), and NutriCare C2 (EDTA micronutrients) are marked imported. Packs say no repacking in India. AscoGold is the amino acid plus Ascophyllum seaweed foliar at 3 ml/L.
