NutrientsFost Rootex Organic Fertilizer (5L): The Ultimate Soil Conditioner & pH Balancer
Restore your soil health, explode white root growth, and unlock hidden nutrients with this 5-Liter Economy Pack.
Fost Rootex (5L) is not just a fertilizer; it is a complete "Soil Renovation Kit" for serious farmers. Formulated by YK Laboratories, this heavy-duty organic concentrate combines 55% Humic Acid with Organic Silica to turn hard, dead soil into a soft, nutrient-rich sponge. It balances soil pH, fights drought stress, and reduces the need for expensive chemical fertilizers like DAP.
Best For: Farmers with 2+ acres of Cotton, Chilli, Paddy, or Fruit Orchards looking to reduce costs and boost yields.

- ⏱️ Explosive Root Growth:
Triggers the rapid development of "White Roots" (feeder roots). More roots mean your crop drinks more water and eats more nutrients. - ?️ Softens Hard Soil:
Acts as a soil conditioner that breaks down clay and hard pans. It creates a soft, aerated structure that holds water like a sponge. - ⏳ Unlocks Fixed Phosphorus:
Releases the "locked" phosphorus already in your soil, reducing the need for heavy DAP application and saving you money. - ?️ Drought & Stress Shield:
Contains 5% Organic Silica which hardens the plant cell walls, preventing crops from wilting during dry spells or falling over (lodging) in rain. - ? Universal pH Balancer:
Whether your soil is acidic or alkaline, Fost Rootex buffers the pH around the roots, ensuring nutrients are available to the plant.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Fost Rootex works like a "Digestive System" for your soil. It does not just feed the plant; it fixes the soil so the plant can feed itself.
- Soil Spreading & Conditioning: It breaks the surface tension of irrigation water, allowing moisture and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone instead of evaporating on the surface.
- Nutrient Chelation (The "Uber" Effect): The Fulvic Acid acts like a taxi (chelator), picking up iron, zinc, and magnesium from the soil and transporting them directly into the plant roots.
- Silica Armor: The Organic Silica builds a double layer on the root and leaf walls. This hardened layer prevents water loss during heatwaves and makes it harder for sucking pests to pierce the plant.
Result: Healthier soil structure, reduced fertilizer wastage, and crops that stay green even during dry spells.
Why farmers choose itTarget Crops & Benefits
| Crop | Key Benefit |
|---|---|
| Cotton & Chilli | Prevents flower drop, reduces wilt, and improves branch development. |
| Paddy & Wheat | Silica strengthens the stem to prevent falling (lodging) and increases grain weight. |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Brinjal) | Reduces transplant shock and promotes continuous flowering. |
| Fruit Orchards (Mango/Citrus) | Deep root conditioning for better water uptake and larger fruit size. |
How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: For best results, apply Fost Rootex 3-4 days before applying chemical fertilizers. This prepares the soil to hold the chemicals better.
How to applyDosage per Acre & Application Method
| Method | Dose (Per Acre) | Mixing Ratio | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drip Irrigation (Best) | 2 - 3 Liters | Mix in Venturi Tank | Every 15-20 Days |
| Soil Drenching | 2 Liters | Mix with 200L Water | Monthly |
| Foliar Spray | - | 3 - 5 ml per Liter | For Quick Greenery |
| Transplant Dip | - | 5 - 10 ml per Liter | Dip roots for 15 mins |
*Note: For Saline Soils, use the higher dose (3L/acre) to help flush out salts from the root zone.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply during the "Active Tillering" stage in paddy or 20 days after sowing in Cotton/Chilli for the best start.
- Compatibility: Can be mixed with most biopesticides. However, avoid mixing directly with strong chemical herbicides or copper fungicides.
- Wilt Control: For Root Rot or Fusarium Wilt, mix Fost Rootex with YK Laboratories' "Stop Wilt" (Botanical Nematicide) to clean the roots and regrow them simultaneously.
- Storage: Store the 5L can in a cool, dry place. Shake well before use as organic sediments may settle at the bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much money do I save with the 5L pack?
Buying the 5L pack saves you roughly 33% compared to buying five 1L bottles. It brings the cost down to about ₹320/Liter, making it very affordable (approx. ₹800/acre).
2. Can this replace DAP or Urea?
Not entirely. It is an "Efficiency Enhancer." It helps your plant absorb 100% of the DAP/Urea you apply, so you can eventually reduce your chemical dosage by 20-30% while getting better results.
3. How long does it take to see results?
Since it is organic, give it 5-7 days. You will first notice the soil becoming softer, followed by the leaves turning dark green and shiny due to increased chlorophyll.
4. Is it good for salty/saline soils?
Yes, excellent. The high Humic Acid content binds to salts and buffers the osmotic pressure, allowing your plants to drink water even in salty soil conditions.
5. Can I use it for vegetable nurseries?
Absolutely. Dipping seedling roots in a Fost Rootex solution (5ml/L) reduces transplant shock and ensures almost 0% mortality in the field.
