RootMatrix™ by Agroqubit

Feed the root, not the atmosphere.

A patent-pending nutrient that feeds the root when it breathes, and keeps nitrogen out of the atmosphere.

38.8 Mt

of urea spread on Indian fields in one year.

Almost every farm depends on it. Most farmers apply it again and again.

1 in 3

Only a third of that nitrogen ever feeds the crop.

The rest washes into groundwater or escapes into the air.

What escapes becomes nitrous oxide, 273 times more warming than CO₂.

It already drives about a tenth of global warming. India's fields add ≈77 Mt CO₂e a year.

58.6%

The hidden reason is hungry soil.

Crops need sulphur, zinc and magnesium to turn nitrogen into growth. 58.6% of Indian soils lack sulphur. 51.2% lack zinc.

RootMatrix

A mineral reserve that waits at the root.

Zinc, magnesium, sulphur and potassium in one patent-pending colloid. Rain passes through. The reserve stays.

06 / 07

Breathe. Feed.

When roots breathe, nutrients flow.

CO₂ from living roots and soil microbes unlocks the reserve, exactly where and when the crop is growing.

07 / 07

Greener crops. Fuller grain. Less nitrogen lost.

An illustration of the mechanism. Replicated field trials with research partners are the next step.

What better nitrogen use is worth

Slide the efficiency. Enter your acres. See urea and N₂O at stake.

  • 43% taken up by the crop
  • 31% lost to air: ammonia, N₂ and N₂O
  • 26% lost to water as nitrate
Illustrative split. Air and water losses vary with soil and weather. Only a small share of the gas is N₂O, but it is the share that warms the planet most.

FAQ

Quick answers

Ask on WhatsApp
What is RootMatrix?

A neutral pH 7 liquid concentrate that supplies zinc, magnesium, sulphur and potassium, released by root activity over weeks.

Will it burn my crop?

In our first test, green gram seeds sprouted for 5 days directly in RootMatrix at 1:20, the field dilution, with no burn. A replicated, measured repeat is next. In the field you dilute it 1:10 to 1:20.

Why is spinach in it?

Spinach extract helps build the mineral without synthetic reagents, and carries glycine betaine, 20-hydroxyecdysone, defensins, oxalic acid and amino acids, each with published research. The papers are on our evidence page.

Can I mix it with urea or NPK?

Yes. Avoid calcium fertilisers such as lime, gypsum and calcium nitrate.

Does it reduce nitrous oxide?

It supplies the sulphur, zinc and magnesium crops need to use nitrogen. Field N₂O measurement on RootMatrix plots is our next trial, with research partners.

What does it cost per acre?

About ₹300–400 per cereal spray at drum or bulk prices. Use the dose planner for your crop and area.

Is it registered under the FCO?

The FCO Schedule VI biostimulant dossier is in preparation with a registration partner.

Do you supply dealers, FPOs and tenders?

Yes. Dealers earn a 30% margin, drums are ₹200 per litre and bulk from 200 L is ₹150 per litre.
