The benefits of Super PS for shrimp are more or less similar to probiotics in general. Super PS serves as a decomposer of toxic gasses and organic materials, prevents waste accumulation in ponds, and increases beneficial bacteria.
What is Super PS?
Super PS is a probiotic with Rhodobacter sp. and Rhodococcus sp. bacteria as its main composition. Rhodobacter sp. is included in the group of multipurpose organisms which mostly can grow as photoheterotrophic, photoautotrophic, or chemoautotrophic organisms. Because it is photoheterotrophic, these bacteria use light as energy, but cannot use carbon dioxide as the main source of carbon.
3 Benefits of Super PS for Shrimp
Super PS provides three main benefits for shrimp, including
- Decomposing hydrogen sulfide and organic matter in shrimp ponds
- Preventing waste accumulation at the bottom of the pond
- Increasing the population of beneficial bacteria in pond water
The Dosage of Super PS for Shrimp Ponds
The dosage of Super PS differs at each cultivation stage. During the preparation stage, before fertilizing the pond, you can apply 3-5 ppm of Super PS to the pond.
Then, at the early stage of cultivation, it is recommended to apply 0.5-1 ppm of Super PS per week. At the middle stage of cultivation, the dosage of Super PS is increased to 1 ppm per week, and finally 1-2 ppm per week at the final stage.
How to Apply Super PS to Shrimp Ponds
Apply Super PS to the pond in the morning before noon, specifically between 08.00 AM and 11.00 AM. You can mix it with zeolite or dolomite to help bacteria settle down at the bottom of the pond. In addition, you can also mix it with feed to improve shrimp appetite.
Conclusion
Super PS is a probiotic composed of photoheterotrophic bacteria. Its key benefits include
- Decomposing hydrogen sulfide and organic matter in shrimp ponds
- Preventing waste accumulation at the bottom of the pond
- Increasing the population of beneficial bacteria in pond water
Applying Super PS probiotics is one of beneficial shrimp farming treatments. To identify the treatment results, you need to record each treatment regularly in the JALA App, a shrimp farm management application developed by JALA.
Besides accommodating cultivation recording and monitoring, JALA App also allows you to
