This patented innovation uses specialized molecules to facilitate communication between plant roots and beneficial soil microorganisms
Coromandel International Limited has launched Fertinex, an advanced water-soluble fertilizer designed specifically for fertigation. Developed through rigorous internal research and multi-location trials, Fertinex provides a balanced nutrient profile that is immediately available to plants, supporting robust development during early growth stages.
A key differentiator of Fertinex is Coromandel’s proprietary Smart Signalling Technology. This patented innovation uses specialized molecules to facilitate communication between plant roots and beneficial soil microorganisms. This "signalling enhances nutrient-use efficiency, promotes root growth, and improves soil vitality. Furthermore, the technology boosts plant metabolism, helping crops better withstand biotic and abiotic stresses.
Suitable for a wide range of crops—including vegetables, fruits, pulses, and plantation crops—Fertinex is positioned as a sustainable solution for farmers seeking higher yields and better produce quality.
The first batch was recently flagged off at the company’s Visakhapatnam facility by Managing Director and CEO S. Sankarasubramanian. Commenting on the launch, Avinash Thakur, Vice President & Business Head of SND and Organic, emphasized that innovation continues to be a core driver for the company.
Commenting on the launch, Avinash Thakur, Vice President & Business Head – SND and Organic, Coromandel International Limited said, “At Coromandel, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Fertinex, powered by Smart Signalling Technology™, is a testament to our commitment to deliver advanced agri-solutions that enhance soil health, optimize nutrient efficiency, and improve farmer productivity. Through continuous investment in R&D, agronomic trials, collaboration with global technology partners, and farmer education, we remain dedicated to building a sustainable and self-reliant agri ecosystem in India.”
Fertinex dissolves completely in water, ensuring uniform nutrient distribution in fertigation systems. The dual advantage of balanced nutrition and Smart Signalling Technology™ helps farmers achieve faster root establishment, robust vegetative growth, and higher yields, while minimizing nutrient losses and environmental impact.
With this launch, Coromandel is introducing the Fertinex range, which will evolve into a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality, research-driven water-soluble fertilizers, empowering farmers across India with innovative solutions for sustainable and profitable farming.
