Biovita PI Industries: Seaweed Based Organic Plant Growth Regulator
Unlock the full potential of your crops with the power of Ascophyllum nodosum.
Biovita is a world-class plant growth regulator (PGR) and bio-stimulant manufactured by PI Industries. Unlike simple fertilizers, Biovita is derived from the potent seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum, harvested from the cold waters of the North Atlantic.
Biovita is packed with over 60 naturally occurring elements, including essential enzymes, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and plant hormones. It acts as a complete health tonic for your crops, promoting vigorous root development, reducing flower drop, and ensuring plants recover quickly from environmental stress. Whether for cotton, paddy, or vegetables, Biovita is your key to higher yields and superior quality produce.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Biovita acts like a "bio-pump" for crops. It works through three main mechanisms:
- Hormonal Balance: It provides natural plant hormones like Auxins and Cytokinins. These trigger cell division, ensuring stems grow stronger and leaves stay green longer (the "stay-green" effect).
- Nutrient Chelation: The organic acids in Biovita naturally bind to soil nutrients (like Iron and Zinc) and make them "absorbable," preventing them from getting locked in the soil.
- Immune Boosting (ISR): It acts as a vaccine for plants, priming their internal defense system to resist diseases and recover quickly from sucking pest damage.
This multi-action approach ensures that the plant focuses its energy on producing fruits and grains rather than just surviving.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Physiological Issue |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Square dropping, Boll shedding, Heat stress |
| Paddy (Rice) | Poor tillering, Transplant shock, Empty grains |
| Vegetables (Chili, Tomato) | Flower drop, Leaf curl recovery, Small fruit size |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 500 - 750 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 - 3 ml | 0 (Safe) |
| Paddy / Wheat | 500 - 600 ml | 150 L | 2.5 - 3 ml | 0 (Safe) |
| Vegetables / Fruits | 400 - 500 ml | 150 L | 2 - 3 ml | 0 (Safe) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Since Biovita is organic, it can be harvested immediately.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For best results, apply at three stages: vegetative growth (for roots), pre-flowering (to stop drop), and fruit setting (for size).
- Mixing: Biovita is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. You can use it in a tank mix to save labor costs.
- Coverage: Ensure a fine mist spray that covers both the top and bottom of the leaves for maximum absorption.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Biovita a chemical fertilizer?
No, Biovita is a biological plant growth regulator derived from natural seaweed. It complements fertilizers but does not replace Urea or DAP.
2. Can I mix Biovita with pesticides?
Yes, it is highly compatible. In fact, mixing it with pesticides helps the plant recover from the shock of strong chemicals.
3. What is the difference between Liquid and Granules?
Granules are best for soil application (basal dose) to build strong roots early on. Liquid is best for foliar sprays to boost yield during flowering and fruiting.
4. Does Biovita kill insects?
No, it does not kill insects directly. However, it boosts the plant's immunity (ISR), helping it withstand and recover from pest attacks.
5. Is it safe for organic farming?
Yes, Biovita is derived from natural sources and is generally considered safe for use in sustainable and integrated farming systems.
