Coromandel Arithri Bio-Fertilizer: Advanced Mycorrhiza (VAM) for Superior Root Growth
Unlock the full potential of your soil with Arithri, a revolutionary biological plant nutrient.
Arithri is not just a standard bio-fertilizer; it is a sophisticated Wettable Powder (WP) formulation powered by US-based High Yield Technology (HYT). Unlike generic granular products, Arithri contains a powerful consortium of 8 distinct species of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF).
This advanced formula works by dramatically expanding your crop's root system. It creates a "living net" underground that helps plants hunt for water and locked nutrients like Phosphorus and Zinc. Whether you are growing paddy, cotton, or vegetables, Arithri ensures your crops stay healthy, resist drought, and deliver higher yields.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Root Expansion: Increases the root absorption area by 100 to 1,000 times, allowing access to micropores that normal roots cannot reach.
- ?️Drought & Stress Resistance: The fungal network acts as a water scavenger, protecting crops during dry spells and reducing transplant shock.
- ⏳Higher Yield Potential: Proven to increase yields by 10-15% by improving grain filling, fruit size, and overall plant vigor.
- ?️Superior Solubility: Unlike granules, this Wettable Powder (WP) dissolves easily, making it perfect for Drip Irrigation and Drenching.
- ?Nutrient Unlocking: Mobilizes fixed soil nutrients, specifically Phosphorus (P), Zinc (Zn), and Copper (Cu), making them available to the plant.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Arithri works through a symbiotic relationship between the fungi and the plant roots.
- Symbiotic Entry: Upon application, the fungal spores germinate and penetrate the root cells without damaging them. They form a biological link with the plant.
- Network Expansion: The fungus grows a vast network of fine threads (hyphae) that extend centimeters into the soil, far beyond the reach of natural root hairs.
- Exchange System: The fungal network acts as a "super-highway," delivering water and essential minerals (P, Zn) back to the plant. In return, the plant feeds the fungus with sugars.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Agronomic Objective / Target |
|---|---|
| Field Crops (Paddy, Cotton, Maize, Pulses) | Enhance root establishment & P-uptake in early growth. |
| Horticulture (Chilli, Tomato, Brinjal) | Support flowering/fruiting & reduce transplant shock. |
| Plantation (Sugarcane, Banana) & Orchards | Promote tillering, sugar accumulation, and feeder root health. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Arithri is best applied during sowing, transplanting, or early vegetative stages.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (kg / Acre) | Method | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field Crops (Paddy, Cotton, etc.) | 4 kg | Basal / Drench | Depends on water volume | 0 (Safe) |
| Vegetables (Chilli, Tomato, etc.) | 4 kg - 8 kg | Drip / Drench | Depends on water volume | 0 (Safe) |
| Orchards & Plantation | 4 kg - 8 kg | Drip / Ring Drench | Depends on water volume | 0 (Safe) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. As a bio-product, Arithri is generally safe for harvest immediately.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at sowing, transplanting, or active vegetative growth for maximum root colonization.
- Mixing: For basal use, mix with compost, FYM, or soil. For fertigation, mix the powder in the venturi tank; agitate to keep it suspended.
- Coverage: Ensure the product reaches the root zone. If using drip, apply towards the end of the irrigation cycle.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Arithri with chemical fungicides?
No. Arithri contains live fungi. Fungicides will kill the beneficial spores. Maintain a gap of 7-10 days between applying Arithri and any soil fungicide.
2. How is Arithri better than granular VAM?
Arithri is a Wettable Powder (WP) with 8 species, whereas most granules have only 1 species. The WP form allows for drip irrigation and deeper soil penetration.
3. Can I use it with chemical fertilizers like Urea or DAP?
Yes. Arithri is compatible with most chemical fertilizers and can be mixed with them for application.
4. Does Arithri help in reducing fertilizer costs?
Yes. By mobilizing fixed Phosphorus and Zinc in the soil, it increases nutrient use efficiency, potentially reducing the need for chemical P fertilizers by 20-25%.
5. Is it safe for organic farming?
Yes, as a biological input, it supports soil health and sustainable agriculture practices, though always check specific organic certification requirements.
