Patent Number: PH-2- 2-2018-000387 & PH 2-2018-000377

Patent Title: BAHANDI Vermitea Foliar Fertilizer

​​Description

It has been proven that the tea along with the castings can significantly increase plant growth as well as crop yields in the short term (a season) and especially the long term over a period of seasons. Along with these great benefits come a boost in the plant’s own immune system to be able to resist parasites like the infamous aphid, tomato cyst eelworm, and root-knot nematodes. Plants produce certain hormones that insects find distasteful so they are repelled. Worm tea also helps a plant to resist diseases such as Pythium and Rhizoctonia.
