3-STAR (FOR GROUNDNUT KIT)

3-STAR is a plant growth promoter (PGP) tailored for groundnut (peanut) cultivation, combining amino acids, humic acid, citric acid, and ferrous (Fe) sulfate. This blend enhances plant nutrition, soil conditioning, and stress resilience, promoting optimal growth, yield, and quality in groundnut crops. Here’s a breakdown of each component and how it supports groundnut cultivation:

Key Components and Benefits of 3-STAR for Groundnuts

1. Amino Acids : Amino acids are essential for protein synthesis and cellular processes in plants. In groundnut crops, amino acids improve chlorophyll production, photosynthesis efficiency, and nutrient transport. They also play a role in enhancing root development, flowering, and pod formation, leading to better growth and productivity.
2. Humic Acid : Humic acid is an organic soil conditioner that improves nutrient retention and promotes root growth. By enhancing soil structure and increasing the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC), humic acid allows groundnut plants to access essential nutrients more efficiently. This leads to improved nutrient uptake, root health, and resilience against environmental stresses.
3. Citric Acid : Citric acid acts as a natural chelating agent, binding with nutrients in the soil to make them more available for plant uptake, especially micronutrients like iron (Fe). In groundnuts, citric acid ensures efficient nutrient absorption and supports metabolic processes, helping to overcome nutrient deficiencies and improve plant health.
4. Ferrous (Fe) Sulfate : Iron (Fe) is crucial for chlorophyll synthesis and energy transfer in plants. Groundnut crops require iron for vigorous growth and development. Ferrous sulfate in 3-STAR provides a readily available source of iron, preventing iron deficiency (chlorosis) and promoting lush, green foliage, which is essential for strong photosynthesis and higher yields.

Application and Advantages of 3-STAR for Groundnut Cultivation

• Improved Growth and Yield 
• Enhanced Stress Tolerance
• Better Root and Nodule Development
• Efficient Nutrient Absorption

Application Method

3-STAR can be applied via soil treatment, foliar spray, or seed treatment, depending on the growth stage and specific needs of the crop. It is particularly beneficial to apply it during early growth stages to support root establishment and during flowering and pod development to maximize yield potential.

Summary

3-STAR is a powerful, targeted PGP solution for groundnut cultivation, offering balanced nutrients, soil improvement, and stress resilience. Its specific blend of amino acids, humic acid, citric acid, and ferrous sulfate supports sustainable, efficient farming by enhancing soil and plant health, optimizing nutrient use, and increasing crop profitability through improved yield and quality.
