What is drought?

• Drought is an abiotic stressor • It can cause poor agricultural yield • One of the most serious worldwide

problems in agriculture

How to deal with a drought?

Beneficial microbes aid in restoring soil balance.

Improve ability of plants to fight against drought.

Magic Gro is one such product It's an eco-friendly way to fight

drought

Benefits of Magic Gro

Has Bio sensors and Bio Activators Increases Immunity Improves Soil Structure Produces siderophores Strain can Adapt to osmotic stress Bioremediation Synthesizes Phytohormone Enhances rate of Photosynthesis

Page 5: Microbial Technology for Sustainable Agriculture in Drought-Hit Areas

Biosensors and Bioactivators

Biosensors: Biological receptors that sense nutrient deficiencies in plant system

Bioactivators: Activated by biosensors Transfer nurients from local

environment to plant system

Page 6: Microbial Technology for Sustainable Agriculture in Drought-Hit Areas

Immunity

Immunity: Enhanced defensive response to specific environmental stimuli

Activate plant's innate defenses against biotic and abiotic stimuli

Microbes in Magic Gro induce jasmonate and ethylene signaling pathways

Benefits of Magic Gro

Siderophores: deprive pathogenic fungi of Fe.

Antibiotics: suppress pathogenic organisms.

Detoxify pathogenic viruses. Compete with pathogens for attachment

sites and nutrients for growth. Biologically degrades organic matter Degrades pesticide residues to make it

non-toxic

Benefits of Magic Gro

Synthesises Indole Acetic Acid which improves root growth

And induces tolerance to abiotic stress. Produce ACC deaminase Also enhances photosynthetic rate Enhances uptake through xylem vessels
