What is stress??What is stress??

Abiotic and Biotic Stress: Causing poor agriculture yield world wide

Biotic stressors including insects, nematodes, vertebrate pests, viruses, bacteria and other organisms reduce the agricultural yield by 30-35%.

Major abiotic stressors include extreme temperatures, soil salinity, drought, floods and heavy metals.

Around 20% of total irrigation land is lost due increased soil salinity.

Beneficial microbes aid in restoring the critical soil balance and improve the ability of plants to fight against abiotic and biotic stressors.

Magic gro – A greener way forward

Bio sensors and Bio Activators Induced Systemic Acquired Tolerance

(Immunity) Improving Soil Structure Siderophores production Strain Adaptability to osmotic stress Bioremediation Property Phytohormone Synthesis Enhancing rate of Photosynthesis

Magic gro - Bio Sensors and Bio Activators

Microbial biosensors, sense nutrient deficiencies in the plant system Biosensors are biological receptors

These biosensors can then in turn stimulate bioactivators through quorum sensing that can transport the nutrients from local environment into the plant system

Magic gro - Induced Systemic Acquired Tolerance (Immunity)

Induced Systemic Response is an enhanced defensive response to specific environmental stimuli which activate the plant’s innate defenses against diverse biotic & abiotic challenges.

The microbes in Magic gro induce jasmonate and ethylene signaling pathways within the plants.

Tolerance (Immunity))

Magic gro – Improving Soil Structure

Soil microbes release proteins and polysaccharides which

bind soil particles and improve overall soil soil structure.

Magic gro - Siderophores Production

Produce siderophores which deprive pathogenic fungi of Fe.

Produce antibiotics which can suppress pathogenic organisms.

Detoxify pathogenic viruses.

Compete with pathogens for attachment sites and requisite nutrients for growth.

Microbes in Magic gro perform the following functions :

Magic gro – Strain Adaptability

The microbes in Magic gro:

Easily adapt, survive and multiply under transient conditions of osmotic stress

Produce exopolysaccharides, form biofilm, establish microbial rhizosphere and enhance water retention in soil

Stimulate osmoprotectors and heat shock proteins which prevent cell death due to water loss

Magic gro – Bio Remediation

Microbes in Magic gro:

Biologically degrade organic matter in to simple nutrients

Completely degrades pesticides residues or introduce minor structural changes to the pesticide residue which render it to be non toxic

Magic gro – Phyto Hormone Synthesis

Microbes in Magic gro :

Synthesise Indole Acetic Acid which improve root growth and induce tolerance to abiotic stress.

Produce cytokinins and gibberlins.

Produce ACC deaminase which is capable of maintaining substantial biomass of a plant grown in drought conditions

Magic gro – Enhances uptake through Xylem vessels

Magic gro- Enhances Photosynthesis Rate

Leaf tissues,provide an important niche for microbial colonization. This is referred to as the 'phyllosphere'

This niche supports the survival & proliferation of microbes

Stomata are microscopic pores in the epidermis of the aerial parts of terrestrial plants

They have been considered as passive portal of entry for bacteria that can benefit the plant by increasing the rate of photosynthesis

Colonization of the phyllosphere with beneficial microbes can also exclude any plant pathogens from proliferating
