clean area is totally dedicated for this purpose. Production centre has
four individual labs one each for virus and bacteria and two for fungal
work fitted with clean benches, shakers and environ conditioners
Sri Biotech's
mass production technology and low cost prices, with in short time
made an effective dent on target markets lead to expansion of production
systems and continuing with research. Sri Biotech also ventured into
production of various herbal based repellents, anti-feedent, seaweed
based liquid fertilisers and bio-organic fertilisers.
Approach
Sri Biotech's
approach is crop Vs problem Vs solution basis and addressed several
critical problems which are difficult to overcome by chemical means
like, Rhizome rot in Turmeric and Ginger, Root rot in Citrus, Wilts
in Cotton, Chickpea, Pigeon pea, Blast and Blight in Paddy and Helicoverpa
in Cotton and Chickpea etc.,Sri Biotech has established strong linkages
with R&D institutions and extension service providers . Sri Biotech
is in the forefront of popularising biological concept in Agriculture
in Andhra Pradesh state.

BEST NEW PRODUCT INNOVATION AWARD (SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY)
 Sri
Biotech (formerly Vermigreen Biofertilisers), Hyderabad was established
in the year 1994 to develop and introduce environmentally safe and green
technologies in agriculture for nutrient, disease and pest management.
Sri Biotech developed two new products
based on PGPR's (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizo bacteria) - a novel class
of microorganisms which helps the plants to develop resistance towards
diseases by inducing systemic resistance (ISR). This product is first
of its kind among biological inputs used across the country. The other
product is a combination (consortium) of various useful organisms, which
can control soil borne pests and diseases, and protects the plant root
system. These two products help to improve inbuilt resistance in the plant
and protect it externally from diseases and pests. Application of biological
organisms will automatically reduce the usage of agrochemicals, which
are otherwise costly to the farmers and cause ecological imbalance. This
novel concept will go a long way in Indian agriculture and become a trendsetter
in plant protection.
In 2002 bagged 'Best Biotechnology Effort'
Award from All India Manufactures Organization, A.P.Chapter.
