Crystal Crystorhiza Mycorrhizal Biofertilizer - Soil Conditioner for All Crops (10 Kg/Ha)

Crystal Crystorhiza is a mycorrhiza-based biofertilizer that works as a natural soil conditioner to improve soil health and plant nutrition. Unlike chemical fertilizers that directly feed the plant, Crystorhiza works by forming a beneficial partnership with plant roots. It contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi that colonize the root system and dramatically expand the root zone, helping plants access more nutrients and moisture from the soil.

This biofertilizer is suitable for all crops and can be applied from sowing time up to the early root development stage. It helps unlock fixed nutrients in the soil—especially Phosphorus—that would otherwise remain unavailable to plants. By improving soil structure and increasing the root area up to 700 times, Crystorhiza helps plants grow stronger, resist diseases better, and tolerate drought and salinity stress. The recommended application rate is 10 kg per hectare, making it a cost-effective option for improving overall crop productivity.

Key Benefits

• Increases the root zone (rhizosphere) up to 700 times, allowing plants to access more nutrients and water from the soil
• Unlocks fixed nutrients like Phosphorus in the soil and makes them available to the plant, reducing the need for chemical phosphate fertilizers
• Acts as a natural soil conditioner that improves soil structure over time for better root growth and aeration
• Helps plants develop better resistance to diseases, drought conditions, and soil salinity stress
• Suitable for all types of crops—field crops, vegetables, fruits, plantations, and horticulture
• Simple to apply from sowing to early root development stage with a single recommended dose of 10 kg per hectare

How It Works

Crystal Crystorhiza contains beneficial mycorrhizal fungi that form a natural symbiotic relationship with plant roots. When applied to the soil, these fungi attach to the root system and grow outwards into the surrounding soil, creating a vast network of fungal threads called hyphae. This network effectively extends the root zone up to 700 times beyond what the plant's own roots can reach.

The fungal network acts like an extra set of roots, searching the soil for nutrients and water that are beyond the reach of the plant's root system. A key benefit is that mycorrhizal fungi produce enzymes that can break down complex nutrient compounds in the soil. This is especially important for Phosphorus, which is often present in soil but in forms that plants cannot directly absorb. The fungi convert these fixed nutrients into available forms and deliver them directly to the plant roots. In return, the plant supplies the fungi with sugars and carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis.

This natural partnership also improves soil structure. The fungal threads bind soil particles together, creating better soil aggregation, improving aeration, and enhancing the soil's ability to hold moisture. Over time, this leads to healthier soil that supports stronger plant growth and better yields.

Recommended Dosage & Application

Application Method: Mix the required quantity of Crystorhiza powder with well-decomposed farmyard manure (FYM) or compost and apply to the soil at the time of sowing or transplanting. Alternatively, it can be mixed with the soil in the seedbed or applied directly in the furrows or pits at the time of planting.

When to Use

Crystal Crystorhiza should be applied from the time of sowing up to the early root development stage of the crop. This is the most critical period for establishing the mycorrhizal partnership with the plant roots. When applied early, the fungi get enough time to colonize the developing root system before the plant enters its active growth phase.

For best results, apply the biofertilizer at the time of seed sowing, transplanting seedlings, or during the initial soil preparation. The earlier the roots are colonized by mycorrhizal fungi, the more benefits the plant will receive throughout its growth cycle. Avoid applying when the soil is waterlogged or extremely dry—moist but well-drained soil conditions are ideal for mycorrhizal establishment.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Calculate the dose: Measure 10 kg of Crystal Crystorhiza powder for every 1 hectare of land.
2. Mix with organic matter: Thoroughly mix the measured powder with 200-300 kg of well-decomposed farmyard manure (FYM) or compost. This helps distribute the biofertilizer evenly in the soil.
3. Apply at the right time: Apply the mixture at the time of sowing, planting, or transplanting. For direct sown crops, mix into the soil just before sowing. For transplanted crops, apply in the planting pits or furrows.
4. Ensure soil contact: Make sure the biofertilizer comes in direct contact with the root zone or seed placement area for effective colonization.
5. Maintain soil moisture: After application, irrigate lightly if the soil is dry. Adequate moisture helps the mycorrhizal fungi establish and grow.
6. Avoid chemical fungicides: Do not apply chemical fungicides in the same area immediately before or after applying Crystorhiza, as they may harm the beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.

Precautions & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the viability of the mycorrhizal fungi
• Avoid mixing with chemical fungicides at the time of application
• Do not apply to waterlogged or extremely dry soil—moderate moisture is ideal
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Use within the recommended shelf life period for best results
• Wash hands after handling the product

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat
• Keep the packaging sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption
• Do not store near chemical pesticides or fungicides
