Product Overview

Karanja cake substrate for fertility and nematode suppression

K-Mix delivers the agronomic value of karanja (Pongamia) cake, providing organic nitrogen, carbon, and bioactive compounds that suppress nematodes and soil pests. The substrate releases nutrients gradually while enhancing soil organic matter and microbial diversity. Precision processing controls particle size and moisture, ensuring easy application in field, plantation, and nursery systems. K-Mix enables distributors to offer a sustainable soil amendment with proven pest-suppressive benefits.

Dosage & Application

K-Mix usage guidance

Application Dosage Method Application Interval Guidance
Field crops & vegetables 100–200 kg/acre Broadcast and incorporate into top soil At planting or pre-plant preparation Moisten soil after application for faster microbial activation.
Plantation basins 3–6 kg/tree/application Apply in basin and cover with soil Every 3–4 months Split doses around drip line; combine with compost for best results.
Nursery media 5–8% of media volume Blend uniformly in potting mix At media preparation Use powder grade for seed trays and plug production.
Spot treatment 250–500 g per planting hole Mix with soil at transplanting At transplanting Ideal for vegetable seedlings and orchard replants.

Adjust rates based on soil analysis, crop stage, and nematode pressure.
