It is versatile and can be applied both as a basal and top dressing for a wide variety of crops, including paddy, cotton, maize, sugarcane, pulses, ragi, groundnut, oilseeds, and vegetables. Additionally, it is suitable for use on cereals, legumes, tuber crops, fruit-bearing plants, and various horticultural crops, ensuring comprehensive nutrient support across diverse agricultural practices.

With a legacy of over six decades, ‘Paramfos’ has emerged amongst the most trusted fertiliser brands especially in Karnataka, enabling Coromandel to sustain leadership position in the state. Paramfos granules are free-flowing and suitable for both seed drill application and broadcasting. The new product complements the strengths of Paramfos with the benefits of Magnesium nutrient and aims to deliver balanced fertilization for various crops.

Unveiling Paramfos Plus at the launch event in Bengaluru, Mr. Sankarasubramanian S, Executive Director, Nutrient Business, Coromandel International Limited, said, “Paramfos Plus, an enhanced version of Paramfos, is fortified with 'Magnesium' that improves the vegetative growth of crops and provides early greening leading to increased yield and superior quality.
