LALITHA 21 - Acela Biotek

LALITHA 21® is a groundbreaking microbial soil inoculant, developed at Michigan State University's Innovation Center and exclusively licensed to Acela Biotek for global manufacturing and distribution. This award-winning product is designed to address the severe soil degradation caused by prolonged chemical use and intensive tillage practices, offering a natural solution to restore soil health and boost agricultural productivity.

Restoring Soil Health

Over the years, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, combined with heavy tillage, has led to the degradation of once-healthy soils. This degradation manifests as topsoil erosion, reduced soil fertility, diminished water-holding capacity, and increasingly higher input costs just to maintain consistent crop productivity. LALITHA 21® offers a solution by introducing a consortium of naturally occurring beneficial microbes that are the cornerstone of healthy soil ecosystems.

How LALITHA 21® Works

Once applied, the microbes in LALITHA 21® immediately begin to rebuild soil structure from the ground up. These beneficial microbes play a vital role in restoring soil fertility by enhancing key soil properties:

• Bulk Density Improvement: LALITHA 21® transforms compacted, hardpan, sandy, or loose soils into rich, organic matter-filled soil. This transformation reduces erosion and minimizes water and nutrient runoff, leading to more stable soil conditions that support the growth of larger, deeper, and more resilient root systems.
• Nutrient Bioavailability: The microbes in LALITHA 21® kickstart the soil's natural nutrient cycling process, increasing the availability of essential nutrients directly in the root zone. This enhanced nutrient bioavailability promotes healthier plant growth, reduces the need for frequent irrigation, and can potentially eliminate the reliance on chemical fertilizers altogether.

Key Benefits

• Restored Soil Structure: By improving bulk density and organic matter content, LALITHA 21® helps create a more robust and resilient soil structure that supports sustainable agricultural practices.
• Enhanced Root Systems: The improved soil conditions foster the development of larger, deeper root systems, which are crucial for plant health and resilience, particularly in challenging growing environments.
• Increased Nutrient Efficiency: With LALITHA 21®, plants can access a more balanced and readily available supply of nutrients, leading to improved growth and productivity without the need for synthetic inputs.
• Sustainable Agriculture: LALITHA 21® promotes a return to natural soil processes, reducing dependence on chemical inputs and supporting long-term soil health and productivity.
