SPIC Prom
Description
PROM–Phosphate rich organic manure is derived from organic residues, rock phosphate and organic matter. It contains 8% of phosphorus, 10% of organic carbon & 20:1 of C/N ratio & plays an important role in providing balanced nutrition to plants.

Features and Benefits
- It is suitable for use as a basal for all crops. It promotes root growth and increases the absorption rate of all nutrients in the soil
- Its application enhances sugar recovery in sugarcane crops - by reducing the nodal length
- Continuous application of PROM increases the organic carbon level in the soil
- Ensures multiplication of Microorganisms in the rhizosphere of the crop
- It can be used for long-term crops such as coconut, mango and other crops as the nutrients are available for a long period of time.
RECOMMENDATION
- Sugarcane, Banana, Cotton and all other crops as Basal or during 1st top dressing: 100 – 200 kg/ acre
- Hilly crops as Basal or top dressing: 200 – 300 kg/ acre
- Tree crops: 2 – 5 kg/ tree.
