Overview
Low-emission rice cultivation through methane-oxidizing biology.
The Methanotroph Formulation is an innovative, plant-product and carrier-based solid formulation of methane-oxidizing bacteria designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice-based cropping systems. Rigorously tested and validated across both ICAR research fields and farmers' fields in Odisha and West Bengal, this biological solution targets methane (CH4) at its source during cultivation. By integrating the formulation into standard soil management, growers can mitigate field methane emissions by up to 10-12% compared to untreated control fields, making it an impactful tool for promoting climate-resilient, low-emission agriculture. ICAR-CRRI and RM Agrico Private Limited signed a MoU in January 2025 for this product direction.

Usage and buyer focus.
Usage Guidelines
Dosage: 1 kg per acre for both Kharif and Rabi seasons
Transplanted rice: apply on the 7th and 21st days after transplanting
Direct-seeded rice (DSR): apply on the 28th and 45th days after seeding
Mix 1 kg of formulation with 9-11 kg of inert material such as dry sand per acre
Broadcast the mixed formulation evenly across the field
Ensure ponding water depth is less than 2 cm during application
Resume irrigation 2-3 days after applying the formulation
