At the beginning of the current season Mr. Bhigwade planted the chilly seedlings (hybrid varieties- A.G.S.- A.K.47) Then after 10 days, he used Biofit N.P.K. and Shet, each 1 ltr, mixed in 200 ml water and used the solution in an area of 1 acre, through drip irrigation. Similarly, the second dose was given at an interval of 25 days. This resulted in an increase in the availability of the soil nutrients, and also improved the texture of the soil.
Likewise, Biofit Steamrich and Bio-99 were sprayed at an interval of 20 days. Due to this, he achieved the right growth of the crop, the number of new spores, and flowering. It also increased the plants' immunity against climate change, pests and diseases.
