YK Laboratories Fost Rootex is a liquid soil conditioner and pH balancer manufactured by YK Laboratories, containing Humic and Organic Carbon 55%, Fulvic Acid 15%, and Potassium Humate 15%. It acts as a soil spreader, penetrating irrigated water toward the root zone and improving the water-holding capacity of the soil. It improves root development, boosts photosynthesis, enhances soil microbial activity, and helps crops deal with drought and environmental stress throughout the season. It maintains optimal soil temperature, balances soil pH, and supports better nutrient and mineral uptake by plant roots. Highly recommended for drip irrigation, it is suitable for Vegetables, Fruits, Field Crops, and Flowers.
Improves Root Growth: Fost Rootex penetrates the root zone and promotes stronger lateral root development, helping crops absorb more water and nutrients from the soil.
Balances Soil pH: It maintains optimal soil pH levels, creating better conditions for nutrient availability and root development throughout the season.
Improves Water Retention: It increases the soil's water infiltration and holding capacity, retaining moisture for longer periods even in very hot conditions.
Boosts Microbial Activity: Organic Carbon acts as a nutrient for beneficial soil microorganisms, building a more productive and biologically active root zone.
Reduces Stress: YK Laboratories Fost Rootex controls both biotic and abiotic stress — reduces the effects of drought, salt stress, and other environmental pressures on crops.
Better Germination: It significantly reduces crust formation on the soil surface, allowing seeds to germinate faster and more uniformly.
Improves Photosynthesis: Fost Rootex improves chlorophyll activity in the plant, supporting better energy production and stronger crop growth throughout the season.
Wide Crop Coverage: YK Laboratories Fost Rootex is suitable for Tomato, Chilli, Capsicum, Watermelon, Cucumber, Banana, Papaya, and other vegetables.
Tomato and Chilli: YK Laboratories Fost Rootex improves root development after transplanting, reduces transplant shock, and supports better flowering and fruit development through improved nutrient uptake.
Watermelon and Cucurbits: Improves root zone water retention and nutrient availability, supporting better fruit size and quality during the rapid fruit filling stage.
Banana and Papaya: Promotes stronger lateral root development and improves water and nutrient absorption during the critical vegetative and bunch development stages.
Mango and Grapes: Fost Rootex improves soil structure and root zone health, supporting better flowering, fruit set, and fruit quality across orchard crops.
Paddy and Wheat: Improves soil microbial activity, water infiltration, and nutrient availability during tillering and grain filling stages for better overall yield.
Cotton and Groundnut: Promotes stronger root anchorage and better water retention in the root zone during periods of heat and drought stress.
Roses and Marigolds: Improves soil health, root development, and photosynthesis, supporting better flower size, color, and longer blooming periods.
Dilute Fost Rootex in clean water before application. Drip irrigation is highly recommended for best results — apply during critical crop growth stages.

Note: Never exceed the recommended dose.
Measure the required quantity of Fost Rootex carefully from the bottle using a clean measuring cup.
For drip irrigation, add the required dose directly into the fertigation tank and apply through the normal irrigation cycle.
For foliar spray, add 3 to 5 ml per liter of clean water to the sprayer tank and stir gently until uniform.
Apply evenly across all plant surfaces, covering upper and lower leaf surfaces and stems for foliar application.
For greenhouse and polyhouse application, apply through drip irrigation every day as per the irrigation schedule for best continuous root zone support.
For field crops, apply through drip or foliar spray during vegetative and flowering stages for maximum benefit.
Clean all application equipment with fresh water after every use.
For foliar spray, apply YK Laboratories Fost Rootex in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool. For drip irrigation, apply during the morning irrigation cycle when soil moisture conditions support the best root zone absorption.
Frequency of Application: Apply Fost Rootex every 15 to 20 days during active growth stages. For greenhouse and polyhouse crops, apply through drip irrigation daily as per the irrigation schedule.
Re-Entry Period: Safe to re-enter treated areas as soon as the spray has completely dried on plant surfaces.
Compatibility: Compatible with most commonly used fertilizers and pesticides. Always confirm compatibility with a jar test before combining with other products.
Wear gloves and goggles while measuring and handling this product.
Never eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Wash all exposed skin with soap and water after finishing.
Keep children and farm animals away from treated areas until the spray has dried.

YK Laboratories Fost Rootex improves root development, balances soil pH, increases soil water retention, boosts microbial activity, reduces drought and salt stress, improves seed germination, and enhances overall crop growth and yield across all vegetables, fruits, field crops, and flowers.
Drip irrigation delivers Fost Rootex directly into the root zone where it is most effective — improving water infiltration, root growth, and nutrient uptake exactly where the plant needs it most. Foliar spray is also effective, but drip application gives the best results for soil conditioning and root development.
YK Laboratories Fost Rootex increases the soil's water infiltration and holding capacity, retaining moisture for longer periods during hot and dry conditions. It also controls drought stress effects on the plant, helping crops maintain better growth and productivity even during water scarcity.
Yes — it is highly recommended for greenhouse and polyhouse applications through daily drip irrigation. Regular application maintains optimal root zone conditions, soil pH balance, and microbial activity for continuously productive greenhouse crops.
Yes — YK Laboratories Fost Rootex is compatible with most commonly used fertilizers and pesticides. Always do a jar test before combining with any other product to confirm compatibility before applying to the crop.
