Optimal applications of biccosulph enhance better foliar growth and hence greatly improve the leaf appearance. There is evidence that by helping in enhancing the photosynthetic activity, applications of biccosulph also help in reducing the respiratory losses. The overall effect is increasing the net productivity of the plant. Additional advantages of biccosulph include prevention of nutrient deficiencies, particularly those of micronutrient elements. More important of these are integrated in the configuration of biccosulph for better functional efficacy.
Both formulations of biccosulph increase photosynthetic rate and enhances the production and functional efficiencies of plant growth hormones and enzymes. Since it acts biologically within the plant system, biccosulph increases dry weight accumulation and nutrient contents, while maintaining tea yields and quality on an upward scale. The active biological materials in biccosulph increase enzymatic functions in tea plant chanelling plant metabolites more towards harvestable units by encouraging rapid development of new cells and tissues. This apart, biccosulph while increasing photosynthetic activities helps to decrease the photo respiratory losses as well.
