FMC Nutromax® Bio-Fertilizer (Mycorrhiza VAM)
The "Triple Power" biological solution for explosive root growth and superior nutrient uptake.
FMC Nutromax® is a next-generation "Bio-Tech Grade" fertilizer designed to restore soil health. It uses Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) technology to act as an "extended arm" for plant roots. By combining high-quality fungal spores with 7 physiological boosters (including Vitamins C, E, and B1), Nutromax ensures your crops get maximum nutrition, even in tough soil conditions. It unlocks hidden nutrients like Phosphorus and Zinc, making them available to your plants instantly.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Root Colonization: Contains "Power Boosters" like Thiamine (Vitamin B1) that stimulate immediate root branching and fast fungal establishment.
- ?️Disease Defense Shield: Creates a biological barrier around roots, offering competitive exclusion against harmful soil pathogens.
- ⏳Superior Shelf Life: Formulated with antioxidants (Vitamin C and E) to keep the fungal spores alive and active in the packet until use.
- ?️Drought Resistance: Increases the soil's water-holding capacity and helps plants access deep soil moisture during dry spells.
- ?Nutrient Unlocking: Solubilizes fixed Phosphorus and mobilizes essential micronutrients like Zinc and Copper for higher yields.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Nutromax® operates on a "Symbiotic Exchange" principle. The fungal hyphae penetrate plant roots and extend far into the soil, exploring micro-pores that regular roots cannot reach.
- Germination & Infection: Upon application, the VAM spores germinate. Aided by the "7 Power Boosters," they rapidly colonize the root cortex.
- Nutrient Transport: The fungus creates a network of fine filaments (hyphae) that absorb water, Phosphorus, and micronutrients, delivering them directly to the plant.
- Soil Conditioning: The fungus produces Glomalin, a "super glue" glycoprotein that improves soil structure, aeration, and porosity.
This results in a stronger root system, better tillering in paddy, and higher quality produce in tubers and fruits.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Benefit(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Increases effective tillers, root volume, and nutrient uptake efficiency. |
| Potato | Improves tuber size, skin finish, and phosphorus absorption for higher yield. |
| Apple & Fruits | Enhances drought tolerance, reduces transplant shock, and fights replant disease. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (kg / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field Crops (Rice, Wheat) | 3 - 4 kg | Soil Application | Broadcast | 0 |
| Vegetables (Potato, Chili) | 3 - 4 kg | Soil Application | Broadcast | 0 |
| Plantations (Apple, Fruit) | 3 - 4 kg (or per tree basis) | Soil Application | Root Zone Apply | 0 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Nutromax is a biological product and has no residue issues. Safe to harvest anytime.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply during the early crop stages (sowing, transplanting, or early vegetative growth) for maximum root establishment.
- Mixing: The granules can be mixed with Sand, Soil, Vermicompost, or Urea for easy broadcasting.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform distribution over the field. Water the field immediately after application to activate the Bentonite granules.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do NOT mix with chemical fungicides.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Nutromax® with fungicides?
No. Since Nutromax contains live fungi (VAM), mixing it with chemical fungicides will kill the beneficial spores. Leave a 7-10 day gap between Nutromax and any soil fungicide application.
2. Is Nutromax® suitable for all crops?
Yes, it works on nearly all vascular plants including cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, and fruit orchards. It is highly recommended for Rice, Wheat, and Potato.
3. Can I use it with Urea or DAP?
Yes, Nutromax is compatible with Urea and most chemical fertilizers. You can mix the granules with Urea for easier broadcasting during top-dressing.
4. Does it help in dry conditions?
Absolutely. The mycorrhizal network absorbs moisture from tiny soil pores that roots cannot reach, significantly improving the crop's drought tolerance.
5. What is the shelf life of the product?
Nutromax uses a special antioxidant formula (with Vitamin C & E) to ensure the spores remain viable for a long period when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
