Mycoraja Pro - Mycorrhizal Fungi - Insecticides (India) Ltd
Item description
Mycoraja Pro Bio-Fertilizer (VAM) – The Root Powerhouse
Unlock the hidden nutrients in your soil and boost crop yields naturally with Insecticides (India) Ltd’s premium biological solution.
Mycoraja Pro is a "Maharatna" class bio-fertilizer containing Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM). Unlike standard chemical inputs, it works biologically to expand your plant's root system by 100 to 1000 times. It specializes in solubilizing fixed Phosphorus and mobilizing essential micronutrients like Zinc, ensuring your crops get the food they need even in tough soil conditions.
Best For: Farmers looking to reduce chemical dependency, improve soil structure, and increase drought resistance in field crops and orchards.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Rapid Nutrient Uptake:
Active VAM spores quickly colonize roots to unlock fixed Phosphorus and Zinc that plants cannot reach alone. - ?️ Stress Shield:
Protects crops against transplant shock, soil salinity, and adverse environmental conditions. - ⏳ Long-Term Soil Health:
Produces "Glomalin," a natural glue that improves soil porosity, softness, and carbon content over time. - ?️ Drought Resistance:
The extended fungal network acts as a secondary root system, accessing deep soil moisture during dry spells. - ? Higher Yields:
Proven to increase crop productivity by 10-20% while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers like DAP.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Mycoraja Pro establishes a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with your plants.
- Symbiotic Attachment: The fungal spores germinate and penetrate plant roots, forming structures called "arbuscules" for nutrient exchange.
- Network Expansion: It extends fine threads (hyphae) far into the soil, entering micro-pores that regular plant roots are too big to reach.
- Nutrient Mobilization: The fungus dissolves locked minerals (like Phosphorus) and transports them directly into the plant root system in exchange for sugars.
Result: A massive increase in the effective root area, leading to superior nutrient and water absorption.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Key Benefits (Nutrient/Growth) |
|---|---|
| Cereals (Wheat, Paddy) | Increases tillering, Zinc uptake, and grain filling. (Use in aerobic/AWD cycles for Paddy). |
| Cash Crops (Cotton, Sugarcane) | Enhances drought tolerance, prevents flower drop, and improves sugar content (Brix). |
| Vegetables (Potato, Onion, Chili) | Improves tuber/bulb size, quality, and helps recovery from transplant shock. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. [Image of granular fertilizer broadcasting]
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (kg / Acre) | Application Method | Timing | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field Crops (Wheat, Cotton) | 4 kg | Soil Broadcast (Granular) | At Sowing / Basal Dose | 0 |
| Sugarcane | 4 kg | Soil Application | At Planting & Earthing Up | 0 |
| Fruit Trees | 200-250g / Tree | Root Zone Application | Monsoon Onset / Active Flush | 0 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: 0 Days because this is a biological product safe for harvest immediately.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as a Basal Dose (at sowing) or within 15-20 days of planting for maximum root colonization.
- Mixing: Compatible with Urea and DAP. You can mix the granules and broadcast them together.
- Coverage: Ensure the granules reach the root zone. Light irrigation after application helps the spores activate.
- Safety: CRITICAL: Do not mix with chemical fungicides (like Carbendazim). If you must use a soil fungicide, wait 7-10 days before or after applying Mycoraja Pro.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How soon will I see results?
Unlike Urea which greens leaves in days, VAM works
underground. Visual results (stronger growth, greener leaves due
to better nutrition) typically appear in 20-30 days.
2. Can I use Mycoraja Pro on Mustard or
Cabbage?
No. Crops in the Brassica
family (Mustard, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli) naturally
do not form mycorrhizal associations. Using it on these
crops is not recommended.
3. Can I mix this with herbicides?
Yes, generally VAM is compatible with most herbicides, but
avoid mixing directly with strong chemical fungicides which
kill the beneficial fungi.
4. What is the shelf life and storage
requirement?
Store in a cool, dry
place away from direct sunlight. High temperatures
(>40°C) can kill the spores. Use within the expiry date
mentioned on the packet.
5. Does this replace DAP completely?
Not completely, but it makes your DAP much more
efficient. Many farmers successfully reduce their chemical
Phosphorus dose by 20-25% when using Mycoraja Pro.
