overview

HALO-AZO is an Azotobacter sp.-based bio-formulation that fixes atmospheric nitrogen in soil and makes it available to plants. With additional plant growth-promoting traits such as IAA and siderophore production, it supports crop growth under salt stress. Applicable for rice, wheat, mustard, millets, and vegetables, the technology is provided with techno-commercial support under license.
