FMC Legend (Furagro) Bio-Solution: Boost Yields & Quality Naturally
Unlock the full genetic potential of your crops with the power of Red Algae and patented SURGE Technology.
[Image of healthy red chilli crop field]FMC Legend (also known as Furagro Legend) is a revolutionary bio-stimulant designed for modern farming. Unlike basic fertilizers that only provide nutrients, Legend acts as a "metabolic signal." It combines Organic Potash (20%) with unique extracts from Red Algae (Rhodophytes) to trigger flowering, prevent fruit drop, and improve size.
Best For: Farmers facing flower dropping, heat stress, or poor fruit quality in Chilli, Tomato, and Paddy.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Stop Flower Drop: Strengthens the connection between the stalk and the flower (pedicel), significantly reducing flower and fruit abortion.
-
🛡️
Heat & Stress Shield: Helps crops survive and thrive during high temperatures, drought, and salinity by balancing internal plant hormones.
-
⏳
Boost Weight & Shine: Increases fruit weight, firmness, and "shine" (lustre), leading to higher market prices and better transportability.
-
🌧️
Bio-Available Nutrition: Contains 20% Potash and 1.5% Sulphur in a form that plants absorb instantly through leaves, faster than soil fertilizers.
-
🌿
Certified Organic: NPOP Certified and residue-free, making it perfect for export-quality crops and organic farming.

How It Works: Mode of Action
FMC Legend uses SURGE Technology (Selective Up-Regulation of Gene Expression). This is how it interacts with your plants:
- Gene Activation: The unique molecules from Red Algae penetrate plant cells and "switch on" the genes responsible for flowering and fruit setting.
- Nutrient Transport: The Bio-available Potash moves sugars rapidly from leaves to the fruits, ensuring they bulk up quickly and taste better.
- Hormonal Balance: It regulates internal hormones (Auxins and Cytokinins) to delay aging and keep the plant productive for longer.
Unlike brown algae products, Red Algae extracts are more potent for stress signaling and gene activation.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Issue Solved |
|---|---|
| Chilli & Tomato | Flower drop, small fruit size, lack of shine/color. |
| Paddy (Rice) | Chaffy grains (hollow husks), weak stems (lodging). |
| Fruits (Mango/Pomegranate) | Fruit setting, cosmetic quality, glossiness. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. The standard recommendation is very low dose due to high potency.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli / Tomato | 48g | 150 - 200 L | ~0.25g | 0 (Organic) |
| Paddy (Rice) | 48g | 150 L | ~0.30g | 0 (Organic) |
| Fruit Trees | Based on Canopy | As required | 0.5g - 1g | 0 (Organic) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. (Being organic, Legend is generally safe for harvest immediately).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Best applied at flowering initiation (to stop drop) and fruit setting (for size).
- Mixing: Dissolve the powder in a separate bucket before adding to the main tank. It is highly soluble.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform foliar spray coverage. The hygroscopic nature helps it stick and absorb.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. WARNING: Do not mix with Copper-based fungicides as this may reduce efficacy or cause leaf burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is FMC Legend suitable for Organic Farming?
Yes, it is NPOP Certified and can be used in organic farming for export crops.
2. Can I mix Legend with other insecticides?
Yes, it is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. However, avoid mixing it with Copper Oxychloride or Copper Hydroxide.
3. What is the pack size and price?
The standard pack is 48g, sufficient for 1 acre. Pricing varies by dealer, but it typically retails around ₹400-₹460 per pack.
4. How is Red Algae better than normal Seaweed?
Red Algae (Rhodophytes) contains unique sulfated polysaccharides that trigger gene expression more effectively than common brown algae extracts.
5. Does it help with Chilli color?
Yes, the high organic Potash content increases Oleoresin production, giving Chilli a deep red color and better pungency.
