How It Works
Arithri works through a beneficial association between fungi and roots. It is a biofertilizer, not a pesticide for killing insects, weeds or crop diseases.
-
Place it in the root zone: Use the crop-specific basal or drip route so the product is applied where roots grow.
-
Fungi associate with roots: Mycorrhizal fungi establish a close partnership with plant roots.
-
Uptake is supported: The association supports access to soil nutrients and water. Results depend on the crop, soil and growing conditions.

Basal or drip irrigation |
Basal application means applying as a base treatment to the soil/root zone. Fruit and horticultural crops, potato and sugarcane have basal or drip options; field crops are listed for basal application. Do not extend the drip route to every field crop automatically.
A precise crop stage, application frequency, water volume and crop-specific choice within the 4–8 kg/acre range are not specified here. Confirm these details on the pack or with Coromandel before applying. No per-litre, tank or per-plant quantity has been calculated.
The manufacturer also describes dispersal in water and soil drenching, but no separate crop-paired drench quantity or water volume is given here. Do not turn that general statement into a drench programme. No foliar-spray or seed-treatment recommendation is provided.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Choose the correct crop row: Use the field-crop basal recommendation or the stated basal/drip option for fruit and horticultural crops, potato or sugarcane.
-
Confirm the application details: Check the supplied pack for placement, crop stage, water quantity and the appropriate point within a rate range before mixing.
-
Keep fungicides separate: Do not mix Arithri with fungicides. Do not guess a separation interval around a fungicide treatment; obtain product-specific advice.
-
Check the pack and equipment: Follow storage, handling and any drip-system instructions on the supplied pack. Keep the product in its original container and avoid contamination.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Arithri?
Arithri is a wettable-powder biofertilizer containing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, usually shortened to AMF. These are useful fungi that associate with crop roots.
2. Is Arithri a fungicide or an NPK fertiliser?
Neither. Its role is root association and crop-nutrition support. It is not a disease-control treatment or a complete source of NPK nutrients.
3. Can I use Arithri through drip irrigation?
Coromandel lists basal or drip application for fruit and horticultural crops, potato and sugarcane. Field crops are listed for basal application. Confirm the detailed procedure for your crop and equipment first.
4. Can I mix Arithri with a fungicide?
No. Coromandel specifically says not to mix it with fungicides. A safe interval between separate treatments is not specified here; ask for product-specific guidance.
5. How much Arithri is listed per acre?
The manufacturer lists 4 kg/acre for field crops and 4–8 kg/acre for fruit and horticultural crops, potato and sugarcane. Confirm the appropriate quantity and application details for your crop before use.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it, read the supplied pack instructions. Confirm the exact product, crop group, application route, quantity and handling precautions. Do not mix with fungicides.
Avoid inhaling powder and avoid contact with eyes. Follow the pack’s protective-equipment directions and wash after handling. Keep the product away from children, animals, food and feed.
Store in the original closed packaging under the conditions stated on the pack. Check the batch and expiry information before use. Biofertilizer performance varies with soil, crop and management; no fixed yield increase or fertiliser-replacement claim is made.
