India ·
Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited, or DFPCL, is an Indian chemicals group. Its fertiliser business is run by Mahadhan AgriTech, a wholly owned subsidiary headquartered in Maharashtra, which sells under the flagship Mahadhan brand. The portfolio covers bulk fertilisers as well as specialty fertilisers, with an emphasis on nutrient solutions designed for particular crops and growth stages.
The idea behind crop-specific fertilisers is to match the nutrient mix to what a crop needs at a given stage, rather than applying one general grade. Croptek granular products, Smartek, Solutek water-soluble fertilisers and sulphur products give growers a choice by crop, soil and irrigation method. Water-soluble products are typically applied through drip irrigation or as foliar sprays. Mahadhan AgriTech serves horticulture and cash crop regions across India.
