About Us​

RAL Labs is the Lab Division of IMT group of companies. As pioneers of micronutrient technology in India, the Institute for Micronutrient Technology (IMT) has been the forerunner in the technical development of multi-nutrient products to cater to the specific needs of the farmer and the crop since 1967. Cutting-edge technology teamed with years of ground-level experience has made us leaders in our field both locally and globally.

The Institute for Micronutrient Technology (IMT) was started in 1967 by a technocrat, late, S.N Ranade who was a Microbiologist of the 1938 vintage. He is rightfully known as the Father of Micronutrient Technology in India for initiating, introducing and disseminating the concepts of micronutrients in Indian agriculture.

Our Technical Team

The IMT/RAL Difference

For the last five decades, IMT has been concentrating on concepts of Balanced Plant Nutrition (BPN) with stress on micronutrients. In this effort, our main focus has been on the Soil and Crop continuum. It is critical to bridge the gap between what our soil status is and what crops require, to optimise the production level, and minimize the overall cost of production. Prognostic soil and tissue analysis is an excellent analytical tool that can be called upon.
