Mr. Janardan Ganpatrao Sawant started using Biofit products for his Papaya fruit cultivation along with the right care, fertilizers and water. He sprayed Biofit Stimrich and Bio 99 for 5 to 6 times during the growth stages of the plants. It helped his plants grow healthy. Thanks to Biofit INTACT, he faced minimum issues with the parasites as compared to that faced by his neighbourhood farmers. His expense on the other insecticides also reduced drastically and encouraged more Pollination by honeybees over his Papaya fruits. He also prevented his plants & fruits from any fungal infestations by spraying and dripping using Biofit Wrapup in every 15-20 days.
Mr. Sawant was keen on using organic fertilisers along with the chemical based fertilisers in for his Papaya plants. His used Biofit N, P & K and SHET products through drip irrigation which led to an improved soil fertility. As the nutrients supply from the soil to the plants improved, resultantly, the fruits became bigger and bulkier.
