prepared microphos packet should not be less than 10
9
cells/g of inoculant at the
time of preparation and 10
7
cells/g on dry weight basis before expiry date. How-
ever, this microbial load in carrier-based microphos may vary from organisms to
organisms.
1.5.7 Method of Microphos Application
The microphos containing potential PS organism can be applied in different ways,
for example, (i) seed treatment or seed inoculation, (ii) seedling root dip and (iii)
main field/soil application.
