Phosphate Solubilizing Biofertilizers
Phosphate-solubilizing biofertilizers are microbial inoculants that mobilise bound soil phosphorus into plant-available forms, improving the efficiency of applied and native phosphate. They are sourced by EU and GCC buyers serving organic, regenerative, and phosphate-efficiency programmes, and by distributors expanding biological ranges alongside nitrogen-fixing inoculants.
The principal Indian-origin products are phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains, and potassium-mobilizing or zinc-solubilizing consortia where buyers want multi-function products, supplied as carrier-based (lignite or peat) powders and granules or as liquid formulations. Under the Fertiliser (Control) Order biofertilizer schedule, viable counts are typically specified at not less than 5x10^7 CFU per gram for carrier-based material and 1x10^8 CFU per millilitre for liquid grades, with defined pH, moisture limits, and contamination tolerances. Strain identity, CFU at manufacture, and shelf life are stated on the specification.
Packaging is generally 1 kg, 5 kg, or 25 kg bags for carrier-based grades and 250 ml to 1 L bottles for liquids, with shelf life and storage-temperature notes provided as specification information.
For the EU, microbial inoculants may fall under the plant-biostimulant function category of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 or under national rules, with documentation coordinated where required, plus SDS, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi consignments. Himalay's verified manufacturer and exporter partners supply phosphate-solubilizing biofertilizers with CoA per batch, SDS, EU fertilising-product and CLP compliance coordinated for Europe, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
