A nursery is a place where plants are propagated and grown to usable size. They include retail nurseries which sell to the general public, wholesale nurseries which sell only to businesses such as other nurseries and to commercial gardeners, and private nurseries which supply the needs of institutions or private estates. Some retail and wholesale nurseries sell by mail.Kangapaden Orchards the green contours of the nattokom village in the kottayam district of Kerala, the Homegrown nursery spreads across fertile land of plants . One of the largest plant production nurseries in South India, Homegrown has the biggest collection of Southeast Asian fruit trees in its mother farm in nattokom.
Homegrown Biotech, having proved for themselves that many of the tropical fruits of Southeast Asian origin can be cultivated profitably in the Indian soil, is investing a great deal of effort and resources into active research. Research is not only on acclimatization of these fruit trees to the Indian geographical conditions, but also on inventing new and improved varieties of the fruits.
Over the past two decades of extensive research, Homegrown Biotech has introduced into the farming sector new varieties of tropical fruits that give higher yield and better quality fruits. These trees are healthier, being resistant to pests and diseases, which they could otherwise have been prone to in the Indian soil and climatic conditions. These fruit crops also have a long life-span and are easy to grow and maintain. Homegrown Biotech develops and sells seedlings and budlings as well as fully grown trees in fibre-glass containers. However, in addition to supplying planting materials, the company also imparts knowhow to the customers on all aspects of cultivation, including planting, watering, pruning, nurturing, etc. The customers are educated on the different manures, fertilizers and pesticides to be used during various growth phases of the trees. And, of course, good seed makes a good crop, if well looked after.
