India is the land of huge population and is the second most populated country in world. We have an endless list of challenges like meeting with the growing demand of food, shelter, jobs and more. With shrinking farms and increasing jungles of concrete, there is the most significant challenge – how to get maximum production of food from minimal size of land. In European countries, the trend of usin
g Plug Production technology to get maximum yields of vegetables and fruits is quite common since 70’s. That’s why farmers get maximum crop production there. In India, Sneha Nursery also looks forward to promote the same trend – using the plug production technique to help farmers so that they will be able to get the maximum benefits of the crop production. The first step towards achieving a maximum crop production is the establishment of a healthy uniform stand of seedlings. By using plug production technique to raise seedlings, there will be more control over the initial development of the crop. Directly seeded crops might have to face a number of challenges and threat in the initial stages such as poor or uneven germination, inclement weather causing high soil temperature, or heavy storms washing seed away or damaging germinating seedlings. The gaps left in the crop can cost the grower in terms of reduced yield and, if they are replanted, higher costs, uneven maturity and an extended harvesting period. Instead of this, if the farmer uses seedlings raised by plug production technique, he can be ensure that they are not suffering from insufficient nutrients or from pests and diseases. And therefore, he can get the advantage of maximum and evenly produced crop. At Sneha Nursery, we use state of the art Green House Technology for seedling production with shade nets and insect nets for hardening. We are equipped with the best and the latest technical resources with more than 20 years of experience in Green House and Bio Technology. Our core competency is in providing the best technical transfer from lab to land all through the crop duration. We have a, experienced and expert technical resource pool that can provide technical support to the farmers for the entire crop duration for the seedlings supplied.
