Using BIOMAGIC Plus – The All-in-One Solution for Onion Crops
Subject: Integrated Approach for Biological Control of Nematodes and Soil Health Management in Onion Crop
Shiva Consultancy Group is committed to supporting sustainable and innovative farming practices. For farmers tackling nematode issues and aiming to improve soil health in onion cultivation, we recommend BIOMAGIC Plus, a comprehensive solution formulated to deliver biological control, pest management, and essential nutrients in a single application. This advisory details how to effectively use BIOMAGIC Plus in onion farming for a healthier, more productive crop lifecycle.
Overview of BIOMAGIC Plus
BIOMAGIC Plus is a biologically enriched soil application product that provides a synergistic combination of biocontrol agents, organic matter, and vital nutrients tailored to:
• Control soil-borne nematodes and pests.
• Enhance soil fertility and structure.
• Promote robust root growth, ensuring higher yields.
• Support the crop throughout its seasonal lifecycle with one-time application.
Key Benefits of BIOMAGIC Plus for Onion Crops
1. Effective Nematode Control:
• Contains biological agents like Paecilomyces lilacinus and Purpureocillium lilacinum, which specifically target and control nematode populations by parasitizing their eggs and juveniles.
• Reduces nematode-related root damage, leading to stronger, healthier plants.
2. Comprehensive Pest and Pathogen Management:
• Incorporates beneficial microbes such as Trichoderma spp. and Bacillus subtilis, which combat other soil-borne pathogens and enhance root zone health.
• Boosts plant resistance to diseases and ensures continuous crop protection.
3. Soil Health and Nutrition:
• Enriched with organic amendments like neem cake, which naturally deters nematodes and pests while adding organic matter to the soil.
• Provides essential nutrients that promote robust plant growth and support the entire crop lifecycle, reducing the need for additional inputs.
4. Ease of Use and Long-Lasting Impact:
• Single application at the time of planting supports plant health for the entire season.
• Saves time and labor, reducing the need for frequent applications or additional fertilizers.
Recommended Application Method for Onion Crop
To maximize the benefits of BIOMAGIC Plus in your onion fields, follow these steps:
1. Land Preparation:
• Before planting, evenly distribute BIOMAGIC Plus in the field, particularly focusing on root zones where nematodes and other pests thrive.
• Ensure the soil is slightly moist to activate the biological agents effectively.
2. Dosage and Application:
• Dose: Apply the recommended amount of BIOMAGIC Plus as per product guidelines (consult the product label or agronomist for specific dosage based on soil conditions and infestation level).
• Incorporation: Use a rotavator or similar tool to lightly mix BIOMAGIC Plus into the top 5-10 cm of soil, ensuring even coverage across the field.
3. Follow-Up Practices:
• If possible, practice crop rotation with non-host crops such as marigold (Tagetes spp.) in subsequent seasons. This helps in naturally managing nematode populations and maintaining soil health.
• Regularly monitor soil health and root conditions to assess BIOMAGIC Plus’s impact and determine if additional pest management strategies are needed.
Expected Results
With BIOMAGIC Plus, farmers can expect:
• Significant reduction in nematode and soil-borne pest pressure.
• Improved onion plant health and root system robustness.
• Enhanced crop yield and quality due to optimized soil nutrient content and improved plant resistance.
In Summary:
BIOMAGIC Plus is a powerful, cost-effective solution tailored to support onion farmers in managing nematodes, pests, and soil health with a single, comprehensive application. By integrating BIOMAGIC Plus into your crop management practices, you ensure a sustainable and productive growing season with reduced dependency on chemical treatments and frequent soil amendments.
