  • In light soil larvae can damage the roots, during the day they usually hide on the lower surface of the soybean leaves or in the soil around the base of the plant.
  • After excessive damage on the leaves, they begin to eat the buds, flowers, and pods of soybean, leaving only the stems on the plant.

09/08/2020Posted on
  • The term “Biological NPK” stands for Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potash.
  • These three main nutrients are very important for the good production of crops.
  • Biological NPK improves nutrient availability in soil by improving soil structure
  • Biological NPK plays a supporting role in photosynthesis in leaves.
  • Converts insoluble phosphorus and potash present in soil into a soluble form
  • Converts atmospheric nitrogen to a simple form. 
  • Plays an important role in grain filling and ripening in crops.
