Coromandel International Limited, an agri-solutions provider and a frontrunner in crop nutrition and specialty nutrients, announced the launch of Fertinex, a next-generation water-soluble fertilizer (WSF) specifically developed for fertigation applications. Developed through extensive in-house research and rigorous agronomic trials, Fertinex reflects Coromandel’s continued focus on innovation-led growth and farmer-centric solutions.
Optimised Nutrition Backed by Smart Signalling Technology™
At the core of Fertinex lies an optimised nutrient composition designed to deliver balanced and efficient crop nutrition through modern fertigation systems. In addition, the product is fortified with proprietary Smart Signalling Technology™ (SST)—a breakthrough innovation that enhances plant–microbe communication in the soil. By strengthening interactions between plant roots and beneficial micro-organisms in the rhizosphere, SST improves nutrient uptake, enhances soil health, and supports sustainable crop growth.
Enhancing Early Crop Establishment and Stress Resilience
Fertinex plays a critical role during the early stages of crop development. It supplies essential nutrients in a readily available form, enabling faster root establishment and stronger initial growth. Moreover, SST-powered fortification elevates crop physiology by improving nutrient assimilation and strengthening the plant’s natural ability to withstand both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. As a result, Fertinex significantly enhances nutrient-use efficiency while supporting robust and resilient crops.
Smart Plant–Microbe Interaction for Higher Productivity
The patented Smart Signalling Technology™ uses unique signalling molecules to stimulate communication between plants and beneficial soil microbes. This advanced interaction fosters a symbiotic relationship in the rhizosphere, leading to:
*Improved root development
*Enhanced nutrient efficiency
*Greater stress tolerance
*Higher overall crop productivity
Together, these benefits translate into healthier crops and improved yields.
Wide Crop Applicability and Sustainable Benefits
Fertinex is suitable for a broad range of crops, including fruits, vegetables, pulses, and plantation crops. By combining balanced nutrition with advanced signalling technology, the product offers farmers a reliable and sustainable solution for achieving high-quality produce and improved farm profitability.
Commercial Launch
The first batch of Fertinex was flagged off by S. Sankarasubramanian, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Coromandel International Limited, at the company’s Visakhapatnam manufacturing facility. Avinash Thakur, Vice President and Business Head – SND and Organic, said, “At Coromandel, innovation remains central to everything we do. Fertinex, powered by Smart Signalling Technology™, demonstrates our commitment to delivering advanced agri-solutions that enhance soil health, optimise nutrient efficiency, and improve farmer productivity. Through sustained investment in R&D, agronomic trials, global technology partnerships, and farmer education, we continue to build a sustainable and self-reliant agri ecosystem in India.”
Reduced Environmental Impact
Fertinex dissolves completely in water, ensuring uniform nutrient distribution across fertigation systems. This not only promotes faster root development and vigorous vegetative growth but also minimises nutrient losses and reduces environmental impact.
Building a Comprehensive Water-Soluble Fertilizer Portfolio
As per the press release, with this launch, Coromandel is introducing the Fertinex range, which will progressively expand into a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality, research-driven water-soluble fertilizers. Through this initiative, the company aims to empower farmers across India with innovative solutions that support sustainable, productive, and profitable agriculture.
