HORTICULTURE Horticulture is one of the main agricultural practices in a nation. It is basically the science of cultivating gardens or orchards, that is, it refers to the process of cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants. It involves increasing the area and productivity of farming lands, bringing technological aspect in agriculture, raising the farmers' incomes and their standard of living, being a source of employment opportunities, etc. India is bestowed with a varied agro-climate, which is highly favourable for growing a large number of horticultural crops such as fruits, vegetables, root tuber, aromatic and medicinal plants, spices and plantation crops. It is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables. India has a large variety of fruits fruits in its production basket and account for almost 10% of the world's total fuit production. Some of the important fruit varieties grown in India are Mango, Banana, Citrus, Pineapple, Papaya, Guava, Cheeku, Jackfruit, Apple, Leechi and Grape. More than 40 kinds of vegetables belonging to different groups are grown in India - including tomato, cucumber, capsicum, onion, brinjal , cabbage, cabbage , cauliflower, okra, etc. A wide wide range range of bacterial, fungal, viral diseases and and nematodes nematodes affect horticulture crops in India. Most of these diseases and nematodes can + be controlled or treated by using Acurosil Nano List of few diseases that can be prevented/treated: Bacterial

Acurosil Nano is a multi-component complex formulation formulation containing Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and Silver (Ag) in nano form. Hydrogen Peroxide is known to have a strong germicidal effect. Silver is well known to posses anti-senescence properties. +
Acurosil Nano is prepared by a special process in which both Hydrogen Peroxide and nano Silver are mixed, bonded and complexed to give an oligo-dynamic, stable and long lasting effect. +
Acurosil Nano effectively reduces bacteria and mould without leaving any harmful chemical by-products as it breaks down into water and oxygen. The efficacy has already been widely proven in the horticulture industry. +
Acurosil Nano is environmentally environmentally benign (benevolent) and very effective against a wide spectrum of micro-organisms. Applied soon + after harvest, Acurosil Nano ensures farm-fresh appearance, original taste and quality even after prolonged storage during marketing.

play
vital role in minimizing post-harvest post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables through its anti-microbial and anti-senescence
Application & Dosage: Pre Plantation: Soil Fumigation or Sterlization
Foliar Spraying +
Pioneers of of greenhouse greenhouse cultivation cultivation recommend ACUROSIL Nano as a soil steriant. It provides good control over soil fungus and weak weeds, leading to visual plant health improvement in crops grown in sterilized beds.
+
Applying ACUROSIL Nano to the the foliage is widely practiced in flower production. It helps as profile active control measure in disease-pest and pathogen infection. Dosage: 2-3 ml per liter of water
1. Wet the beds with neutral pH water up-to 75% water holding capacity of soil. + 2. In irrigation water water mix 35ml ACUROSIL ACUROSIL Nano in 1ltr of water. water. 3. Do not mix any chemical with this, as this solution is highly reactive. 4. Apply this solution @ 1 liter/m2 5. Leave the field undisturbed for 12 hours.
Post Harvest: Extending Product Shelf Life
Fungal control in Drip irrigation systems Drip irrigation, also called trickle irrigation or micro-irrigation, is a localized irrigation method that slowly and frequently provides water directly to the plant root zone. Favorable environmental conditions in drip irrigation systems can cause rapid growth of several species of algae and bacteria resulting in slime and filament buildup, which often become large enough enough to cause biological clogging, which is quite difficult to control.
An alarming percentage of fresh produce perishes long before it reaches the consumer. Most of this loss is accounted for by either natural degradation caused by bacteria and mould, or non-availability of good storage and transportation linkages. These losses could be minimized by suitable post-harvest measures to increase the shelf life of traditional as well well as cut flowers by inhibiting inhibiting bacterial and and mould growth. Straight forward washing of harvested or cut flowers after harvest may simply redistribute organisms from infected to healthy produce. . Washing Washing with fungicides/chemicals fungicides/chemicals can leave bad odour and undesirable residual toxicity on the produce which can lead to consumer rejection. With strict environmental regulation and controls imposed by most importing countries on pesticide residue levels in force, it is imperative to adapt to eco-friendly treatments.
