Coromandel Platina Bio-Stimulant: L-Cysteine Power for Higher Yields
Unlock the full genetic potential of your crops with Platina, a technologically advanced metabolic activator.
Coromandel Platina is a next-generation bio-stimulant enriched with L-Cysteine, essential amino acids, and vitamins. Unlike ordinary tonics, it works at a cellular level to act as a "metabolic activator." It specifically targets plant immunity, helps crops survive harsh weather (drought/heat), and significantly boosts reproductive success by promoting female flowers and fruit set.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Rapid Root Establishment: Stimulates deep and branching root systems, allowing plants to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil immediately after application.
-
🛡️
Abiotic Stress Shield: Acts as a powerful antioxidant. It helps plants survive and recover from "weather shock" caused by high heat, drought, or salinity.
-
⏳
"Stay Green" Effect: Delays the aging of leaves (senescence), keeping the plant greener for longer to ensure maximum food production for the developing fruits.
-
🌧️
More Female Flowers: Scientifically proven to increase the ratio of female flowers in cucurbits (cucumber, gourds, melons), directly leading to higher fruit counts.
-
🌿
Premium Fruit Quality: Enhances the natural shine, color, and size of the produce, helping farmers command a better price in the market.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Platina works through a systemic "metabolic activation" process powered by its L-Cysteine engine:
- Synthesis of Glutathione: Once absorbed, L-Cysteine is rapidly converted into Glutathione, the plant's master antioxidant.
- ROS Scavenging: This Glutathione neutralizes Reactive Oxygen Species (toxins) that build up during heat or drought, preventing cell damage.
- Hormonal Modulation: It regulates internal signals to promote Ethylene (for female flowers) and Auxins (for root growth), optimizing the plant's life cycle.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Key Physiological Benefits |
|---|---|
| Solanaceous Vegetables (Chili, Tomato, Brinjal) | Prevents flower drop, recovers from virus stress, improves fruit size. |
| Cucurbits (Cucumber, Melon, Gourd) | Increases female flower count, reduces fruit abortion, improves shape. |
| Cotton & Cash Crops | Reduces square/boll dropping, increases boll weight and fiber quality. |
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 (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetables & Cucurbits | 100 - 150 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.75 - 1 ml | 0 (Residue Free) |
| Cotton & Commercial Crops | 150 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1 ml | 0 |
| Cereals & Tubers | 100 - 150 ml | 150 L | 1 ml | 0 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Best results are seen when applied at Pre-flowering, Flowering, and Fruit setting stages. Avoid spraying during the intense heat of midday.
- Mixing: Compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Warning: Do NOT mix with highly alkaline products (like Bordeaux mixture) or Copper-based fungicides.
- Coverage: For best absorption, use a silicon-based spreader (like Spreadmax) to ensure the liquid penetrates the leaves efficiently.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does Platina help in Chili crops?
It helps Chili plants withstand Leaf Curl Virus stress by boosting metabolism and prevents flower dropping, ensuring a better harvest even in difficult conditions.
2. Can I use Platina on export-quality crops?
Yes. Platina is a bio-stimulant that is residue-free, making it ideal for export crops like Grapes, Pomegranates, and Vegetables with strict safety limits.
3. Is it safe to mix with other fertilizers?
Yes, it is generally compatible with water-soluble fertilizers and most pesticides. However, always perform a small "jar test" before mixing with Copper or Sulphur products.
4. Why is L-Cysteine important for plants?
L-Cysteine is the starting material for antioxidants. It helps the plant create its own defense against heat and drought, acting like an "immunity booster."
5. What is the shelf life of the product?
Platina typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
