Preface
When agricultural research translate into technology, the benefits accrue to the end users- the
farmers. In the last five years we have close associateship with different research councils like
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) institutes, National Bureau of Agricultural Insects
Resources and Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO) institute viz., Bhabha
Atomic Research Centre.
The support of various institutions to PONALAB has been established and we believe that the
cumulative power of the emerging agriculture ecosystem would propel India to be a Biofarming
destination for affordable and accessible products that would be MADE IN INDIA , for Indian
Agriculture & Allied sectors.
Making our farmers feel proud of their produce using these research oriented quality products.

Plant viruses are serious threat to
crops and causes huge economic
losses, in different crops like cereals,
vegetables, fruits legumes and cash
crops. Some of the major out break
like cotton leaf viruses, potato yellow
leaf viruses, chili leaf curl virus and
tomato leaf curl virus.
Chemical control of plant virus
diseases is not only difficult but also
pollute the nature. Hence,
ecofriendly strategies like botanicals
play a major role in controlling viral
infection on crops.
Why Consider Botanicals?
Sustainable solutions in agriculture
Reduce crop losses
Eco-friendly
Easily bio-degradable
Integrated Diseases Management
ACTION OF RANJAY 35 ON PLANT VIRUSES
Mode Of Application
ProphylacticFoliarSpray-
Apply 3-5g/ Lit of water. After
10 days 2nd spray 1.5 gms/ Lit of
water. In case of post infection
apply 5-6 g/ Lit of water at an
interval of 7 days for 3 times.
Botanicals are being
extensively used in the
management of plant viruses.
Effective viricides are lacking
of the control of plant viruses.
However, we at PONALAB
have developed a plant based
product (Botanicals) that
inhibits viruses infection by
inducing local or systemic
resistance when applied a few
hours prior to virus challenge.
The products once sprayed on
suitable host plant, prevents
infection of viral vectors like
Whitefly and Aphids

6. Integrated pest management (IPM) is a concept proposed as a strategy for sustainable and
effective plant protection . The strategy is to apply ecological theory in the design of
management programs for agricultural and horticultural cropping systems to avoid yield
losses without adverse effects on human health and the environment. The strategy is
generally applied by using combinations of various cultural practices and other control
measures, such as mechanical weed management, crop rotation and biological control.
Plant diseases need to be controlled to maintain the quality and abundance of food, feed, and
fiber produced by growers around the world. Beyond good agronomic and horticultural
practices, growers often depend heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Such inputs to
agriculture have contributed significantly to the environmental pollution. Today, there are strict
regulations on chemical pesticide use, and there is political pressure to remove the most
hazardous chemicals from the market.

HOW MUCH VIHAAN TO USE (DOSE)
VIHAAN is a highly concentrated formulation so a
very nominal quantity is required. Dose of
VIHAAN can be varied from 3-8 grams/ kg of seed
to be treated.
HOW TO USE VIHAAN
Seed Treatment: Mix 5 gram VIHAAN/ Kg of
seeds in 25- 50 ml water. Shade Dry for 15-30 min.
Seedling/ Root Dip: Mix 3-5 gram VIHAAN in 1 Ltr
and dip seedlings for 10-15 min before planting.
Rhizome Treatment: Mix 8 gram VIHAAN/ kg of
rhizome in 100-300 ml. Shade dry for 20- 35 min.
PRESENTATION
VIHAAN is available in 5g, 50g and 250g packing
in the market
CROPS
VIHAAN can be applied on All seeds, seedlings
and rhizomes
WHY TO USE VIHAAN
Most of the soil borne diseases
are caused due to lack of
proper seed treatment. About
30% of crops gets damaged
due to improper or lack of
seed treatment. Govt. of India
is also trying their level best to
encourage farmers to put into
practices of seed treatments
as one of the important
farming practices. We at
Ponalab have tied up with
BARC one and only premium
research institute in the
country which is harnessing
the benefits of nuclear
research in the field of
Agriculture for the benefits of
farmers.
VIHAAN is organic granular
seed treatment formulation
contains microbes that
produces more antibiotics
than the wild types.

Develop plant defense
Root-knot nematodes are responsible for
great losses in crop production systems
across the globe. To reduce these yearly
losses of plant products, we at PONALAB
develop an alternative strategy using the
fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia to control
root-knot nematodes in horticutural and
agricultural crop production systems.
