The Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus offers consumers microbial fertilizer «BactoFish» for upgrade natural feed resources of fish ponds in order to increase piscine productivity under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus manufactures microbial fertilizer «BactoFish», designed for upgrade natural feed resources of fish ponds in order to increase piscine productivity.

The based of preparation is consortium of 3 strains Pseudomonas sp. (titer – not less than 1,0×10⁹ CFU/ml).

Principle of action:
Biofertilizer displays a complex action:
* it enriches water with biological nitrogen and phosphorus due to fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and mobilization of insoluble phosphates;
* promotes development of natural feed potential of fish ponds and raises piscine productivity.

Efficiency
Application of microbial fertilizer enables:
* increase 1.6 times natural fish productivity of breeding ponds of the first and second succession;
* save compound fodder expense by 10..12%;
* reduce the doses of introduced nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers by 30..50% and in case of humified organic fertilizer up to 100%;
* lower the cost of young fry by 4..10%.

Supply of microbial fertilizer into fish ponds will not result in ground and water contamination because the constituent bacterial strains were isolated from natural sources. The product is safe for humans, animals, fish, fowl, beneficial insects. It promotes output of eco-friendly products.

Application guidelines for fish ponds:

Dosage	Treatment	Number of treatments
2 l of biofertilizer / 1 ha	Stages of treatment: 1. 2..3 days prior to transfer of hatched fish into breeding sections	1
0,5 l of biofertilizer / 1 ha	2. May to August period once every 20 days	4

Package:
Plastic containers of 1 l, 5 l, 10 l, 20 l volume.

Terms of storage:
3 months since fabrication date within temperature range +4 to +8 °C in shady place.

Application area: fish farming (fish ponds).

Institute of Microbiology offers partners:
* microbial fertilizer «BactoFish» for upgrade natural feed resources of fish ponds in order to increase piscine productivity under a manufacturing agreement;
* microbial fertilizer «BactoFish» for upgrade natural feed resources of fish ponds in order to increase piscine productivity under a distribution services agreement.
