In case of Potato and other tuber crops, the cut portion of the tuber should be dipped in Shubhodaya powder before planting. In case of Sugarcane, entire nodal cutting can be dipped in Shubhodaya powder at the time of planting.

In case of transplanted horticulture crops, half the required quantity of Shubhodaya should be mixed in the nursery mixture before sowing in nursery bed. In case of nurseries raised using cocopeat in protrays, the required quantity of Shubhodaya powder should be mixed in cocopeat and filled in protrays for sowing the seeds.

Cut end of the cuttings can be dipped in Shubhodaya powder at the time of planting.

Shubhodaya should be placed right below the planting material which can be seed/tuber/set in case of direct planted crops. Soil application of Shubhodaya can be done to grown up plants by making a ring deep enough for Shubhodaya to come in contact with plant roots and cover it by soil after application. In case of
