The biostimulant market in India is growing at a rapid pace with increasing awareness about its role in improving soil health, nutrient uptake, mitigating abiotic stresses thereby enhancing crop yields, nutritional properties and overall quality of the produce leading to better market prices for farmers. The rising utilization of biostimulants is also attributed to increasing recognition and importance of sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices.
Farmers face challenges in finding reliable biostimulants that deliver consistent performance to enable crops to withstand stresses caused by climate change and in how to incorporate biostimulants in their existing farming practices. To address these complex issues, PJ Margo, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Margo Biocontrols, India’s leading eco-friendly agri inputs company has developed innovative biostimulant solutions, tailored to the needs of Indian crops and soil conditions.
