An illegal biostimulant manufacturing unit in Pedda Amberpet was searched by the Rachakonda police on Thursday.
The Special Operation Team-LB Nagar, along with an agricultural officer of Abdullapurmet, searched the factory and found that the accused, Hayathnagar-based businessman N. Uttam Kumar (42), was illegally manufacturing biostimulants without any valid licence/permission.
Biostimulants are products that reduce the need for fertilisers and increase plant growth and resistance to water and abiotic stresses.
