Nutromax GR - Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza 25% GR - FMC
Nutromax GR | Mycorrhizal Biofertiliser
FMC Nutromax GR is a granular vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal biofertiliser for soil application. It supports nutrient transport, root development and water uptake; the label’s 25% mycorrhiza statement refers to its active-ingredient blend, not 25% of the finished granules by weight.
What it supports: Root proliferation, movement of nutrients towards roots, and water uptake through a soil-applied mycorrhizal formulation.
When to use it: As part of soil and root-zone management, with the programme matched to crop type, plant age and local conditions.
What to include: Suitable soil placement, normal crop nutrition and irrigation, and separation from fungicide mixtures.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🔄Nutrient transport near roots: Nutromax is intended to improve nutrient movement in the rhizosphere, the soil zone influenced by roots, helping the crop make use of available nutrition.
- 🌱Root-volume support: FMC describes enhanced root volume and mass; the label also identifies secondary and tertiary root growth as intended benefits.
- đź’§Water-uptake support: The formulation supports root water uptake and soil water-holding function. It is not a substitute for irrigation when the crop needs water.
- 🟤Granular soil placement: The label supports mixing the granules with organic manure, soil or sand to help distribute the product for soil application.
- 🌾Support across crop systems: The label covers nurseries, field crops, horticultural, ornamental and plantation settings, with plant age and crop type determining the actual programme.

How It Works
Nutromax acts at the soil–root interface. Its mycorrhizal component is intended to connect soil nutrient availability with uptake by the crop, rather than provide a conventional NPK fertiliser grade.
- Bring mycorrhizal material to the soil: The granular formulation is placed in the soil, the supported route for contact with the crop’s root environment.
- Support nutrient and water uptake: FMC describes the product as a bridge between soil and roots, helping nutrient absorption and transport towards roots alongside water uptake.
- Support a larger functional root system: Improved root nutrition is linked with greater root volume and mass. Continue balanced fertilisation and water management because a biofertiliser does not supply every nutrient a crop needs.
This is a biofertiliser, not a fungicide. The explicit prohibition on mixing Nutromax with fungicides is important when planning soil treatments.

Crop examples do not mean one fixed dose fits plants of every age and size.
Application Guide
Use by the soil route. Organic manure, soil or sand can act as distribution materials where suitable under the supplied directions.
Recommended crops and application
| Crop / use | Stage / purpose | Product dose | Application method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nurseries; cereals and other field crops; horticultural, ornamental and plantation crops | Root-zone nutrition and root development | Approx. 3.04 kg/acre Original label rate: 7.5 kg/ha |
Soil application. May be mixed with organic manure, soil or sand for distribution. Apply according to plant age and type under local FMC guidance. Do not mix with any fungicide. |
The label’s general soil-application rate is 7.5 kg/ha, approximately 3.04 kg/acre. Apply according to plant age and type under local FMC guidance; do not treat the area rate as a fixed quantity for each tree or nursery plant.
This is a granular soil programme, not a foliar spray recommendation. Do not mix with any fungicide. No spray-water, irrigation or repeat schedule is implied.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Choose soil application: Place the product according to the crop’s soil-use directions, not as a substitute foliar nutrient spray.
- Match crop and plant age: Apply according to plant age and type under local FMC guidance. Keep the general soil-application rate and the age/type limitation together rather than treating an area dose as a per-plant dose.
- Use an appropriate distribution material: The label permits mixing with organic manure, soil or sand to make soil application easier.
- Keep fungicides separate: Do not mix Nutromax with any fungicide. Do not invent a separation interval for a different product; obtain product-specific guidance when planning both.
- Protect the product before use: Keep the original container tightly closed, cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. Use within the expiry stated on the supplied pack.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does “25% mycorrhiza” mean on Nutromax?The label lists vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza as 25% of its active-ingredient blend, with other ingredients making up 75%. It also states that 3 kg of granules contain 100 g of active ingredient. These are different bases: the label is not saying that one-quarter of the finished granular product is mycorrhiza by weight.
2. Is Nutromax a fertiliser or a pest-control product?It is a mycorrhizal biofertiliser used to support nutrient uptake, root growth and water uptake. It is not a substitute for an insecticide, fungicide or a complete conventional fertiliser programme.
3. How is it applied?The label specifies soil application at 7.5 kg/ha, approximately 3.04 kg/acre, with application matched to plant age and type under local FMC guidance. The granules may be mixed with organic manure, soil or sand for distribution. Do not interpret their water-solubility description as permission for foliar spraying, and do not mix them with fungicides.
4. Can I mix Nutromax with a fungicide?No. The Nutromax label explicitly says it must not be mixed with any fungicide. Seek product-specific guidance when a separate fungicide treatment is also needed; no universal treatment interval is given here.
5. Which crops are listed by FMC?FMC names rice, wheat, potato, apple and pomegranate. The label also describes soil application in nurseries, cereals, field crops, horticultural, ornamental and plantation crops, subject to the relevant plant-age and crop-use directions.
