FMC Nutromax® Bio-Fertilizer: Boost Root Health & Yield
The "Triple Power" Mycorrhizal solution for deep roots and drought resistance.
FMC Nutromax® is a next-generation bio-solution designed to act as an "extended arm" for your crop's root system. Unlike standard fertilizers that sit in the soil, Nutromax® uses active VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza) technology to latch onto roots and actively hunt for nutrients and water.
Packed with 7 powerful boosters including Vitamins, Seaweed, and Humic Acid, it ensures your crops establish quickly, resist disease, and deliver higher yields even in tough conditions.
Why Choose FMC Nutromax? Key Benefits

How It Works: Mode of Action
Nutromax® employs a "Triple Power Formula" to ensure your crop gets the most out of the soil:
- Symbiotic Extension: The VAM fungi penetrate plant roots and extend thin filaments (hyphae) far into the soil, acting as a secondary root system that absorbs water and nutrients.
- Chemical Unlocking: It releases organic acids and enzymes that dissolve fixed phosphorus and micronutrients in the soil, making them available to the plant.
- Bio-Stimulation: The added vitamins and seaweed extracts (Ascophyllum Nodosum) prime the plant's metabolism, promoting faster cell division and root hair growth.
This results in a plant that feeds better, drinks deeper, and stands stronger.
Target Crops & Benefits
[Image of healthy rice roots vs unhealthy rice roots]| Crop | Key Benefits |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Increases effective tillers, improves root mass, and enhances nutrient uptake during panicle initiation. |
| Potato | Improves tuber size, uniformity, and skin finish. Maximizes Phosphorus uptake for higher weight. |
| Apple & Pomegranate | Establishes deep feeder roots, prevents fruit cracking via better water regulation, and improves fruit color/quality. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Since Nutromax® is a granular soil application, it is measured in Kg, not ml.
Dosage per Acre & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (Kg / Acre) | Application Method | Type | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field Crops (Rice, Wheat, Corn) | 4 Kg | Soil Broadcast | Granule | 0 (Safe) |
| Vegetables (Potato, Tomato) | 4 Kg | Soil Application | Granule | 0 (Safe) |
| Fruit Orchards | 100g - 150g per Tree | Ring Basin Application | Granule | 0 (Safe) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply within 15-25 days of sowing or transplanting. Early application ensures the fungus grows along with the root system.
- Mixing: Nutromax® is compatible with Urea, Sand, or Organic Manure. Mix the 4kg pack with fertilizer or sand to ensure uniform broadcasting across the field.
- Coverage: Ensure the granules reach the root zone. Light irrigation after application helps the bentonite carrier disperse the spores into the soil.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Nutromax® with fungicides?
NO. Do not mix with chemical fungicides as they will kill the beneficial VAM fungi. Keep a gap of 7-10 days between Nutromax application and any soil drench fungicide.
2. Does it replace Urea or DAP?
No, it does not replace them, but it makes them more efficient. You can potentially reduce DAP usage over time as Nutromax solubilizes fixed phosphorus in the soil.
3. Can I use it in Drip Irrigation?
Nutromax® contains Bentonite clay which acts as a carrier. While dispersible, it is best recommended for soil broadcast (basal dose) to prevent filter clogging.
4. What is the shelf life?
Store in a cool, dry place. The antioxidants (Vitamin C & E) in the formula help preserve spore viability, but avoid direct sunlight and high heat. Check the packet expiry date.
5. Is it safe for organic farming?
Yes, Nutromax® acts as a biological input and is safe for the environment, soil, and humans. It leaves no toxic residue.
