Coromandel Chhaava & Prachand: Next-Gen Soil & Crop Health (2025)
Revolutionize your farm with Coromandel's latest "Non-Subsidy" powerhouse solutions.
Indian soil is losing its strength, and pests are becoming harder to kill. To solve this, Coromandel International has launched Chhaava (a premium bio-plant promoter) and Prachand (a patented Japanese insecticide). Moving beyond basic fertilizers, these products use advanced technology to restore soil organic carbon and protect high-value crops like Paddy and Cotton.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Advanced Neem-Coating Technology: Unlike raw bio-products that die in the heat, Chhaava uses a special neem coating. This protects the beneficial microbes, ensuring they stay active longer in the soil.
- ?️Dual-Action Pest Defense: Prachand provides powerful protection against stem borers and leaf folders. Additionally, the neem in Chhaava naturally repels soil pests like nematodes and root grubs.
- ⏳Restores Soil Organic Carbon: Many fields have low carbon (<0.5%). Chhaava boosts this vital element, helping your soil hold more water and act as a better "engine" for crop growth.
- ?️Weather & Stress Resilience: These products help crops withstand environmental stress. The biological agents trigger the plant's natural immune system (Systemic Acquired Resistance).
- ?Higher Yields in Cash Crops: Designed specifically for high-value crops like Cotton, Chili, and Horticulture. Get better quality produce and higher market prices.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Coromandel combines traditional wisdom with modern science. Here is how Chhaava works in your field:
- Protected Release: The neem coating acts as a shield. It prevents the biological agents from degrading due to sunlight, releasing them slowly into the soil.
- Root Colonization: Once released, beneficial microbes colonize the root zone (rhizosphere). They solubilize locked nutrients, making them available to the plant.
- Systemic Defense: The bio-agents trigger the plant's internal defense system, while the neem component repels soil-borne pests, creating a "fortress" around the roots.
Prachand works via the Japanese ISK technology, targeting the muscle contraction of stem borers, stopping them from feeding instantly.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Stem Borer, Leaf Folder (Prachand) / Root Health (Chhaava) |
| Cotton | Bollworm complex suppression, White root development |
| Horticulture (Chili/Veg) | Soil Nematodes, Nutrient uptake, Yield Quality |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Over-application does not increase yield; precision does.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml/g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | Refer to Label | 150-200 L | Check Leaflet | 15-20 |
| Cotton | Refer to Label | 150-200 L | Check Leaflet | 20-25 |
| Chili/Veg | Refer to Label | 150-200 L | Check Leaflet | 7-10 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always consult the official product leaflet inside the bag/bottle for exact dosage.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply Chhaava during early crop stages to establish root health. Apply Prachand when pest incidence reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL).
- Mixing: Do not mix biological products (Chhaava) with harsh chemical fungicides, as this may kill the beneficial microbes.
- Coverage: For best results, consider using "Gromor Drive" drone services. Drones ensure uniform coverage and use less water.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Chhaava the same as a chemical fertilizer?
No. Chhaava is a "Bio-Plant Promoter." It does not replace Urea or DAP but supplements them by improving soil health and helping the plant absorb nutrients better.
2. Is this product related to the movie "Chhaava"?
No. The product "Chhaava" is an agricultural bio-solution launched by Coromandel International in May 2024. The movie is a separate entertainment event.
3. Can I use drones to spray these products?
Yes. Coromandel's "Gromor Drive" service offers drone spraying for liquid formulations like Prachand and Nano DAP, covering over 2.2 lakh acres effectively.
4. Where can I buy original Coromandel products?
You can buy authentic products at any of the 1,000+ "Mana Gromor" retail centers, or online via the "RythuKart" app.
5. Why is Soil Organic Carbon important?
Carbon is food for soil microbes. Without it, fertilizers don't work well. Chhaava helps restore this carbon, fixing "tired soil" issues.
