The
resounding success of Shrivardhan Bio-tech can be attributed to
the use of best technology suiting local conditions for optimum
production combined with fully involved management team. The cultural
practice, pest control methods and modern techniques of production
covering relevant inputs, equipment's, drip & mist irrigation
systems are being used to make this project a model rose farm in
India. It is the largest project in India using coco-peat as growing
media with computer controlled plant nutrition system.

Shrivardhan
Bio-tech is the first project in the country, and perhaps in the
world, wherein we are using environment friendly, hand-made baked
clay containers, made by the artisan in rural India, providing thereby
a much needed employment. These containers help keep the root zone
cool during summer, thus stimulating the growth of white roots,
(so essential for the production of crop hormone Cytokinins for
good / healthy crop ), by evaporating water cool in earthen pot.
Coco-peat (Cocus nucifera) is used as growing medium, which is an
organic matter with excellent aeration and eco-friendly thus helping
an unfertile, rocky land to be put under productive use.
At Shrivardhan we are growing in earthen pots mounted on 50 cms high 8 mm steel stands. Systems is simple, cost effective, allowing sufficient ventilation, space for leaf canopy and crop sanitation. This helps reduce the cost of expensive pesticides and thus make the produce more competitive and devoid of pesticide residue. |

| IRRIGATION WATER : | |||
|
We
have pumped water for the project from a distance of 9.5 KM and
have water storage tank for 3 Million Liters. This is further treated
/ standardized to pH of 6.5 in a pre-acid Tank with One million
Liter capacity before fed into the system such that Nutrition to
the plants flows with accuracy of pH and desired EC
|

|
|||
| COMPUTER CONTROLLED NUTRITION SYSTEM : | |||
|
With
a view to control, monitor & correct, the quality of nutrition
in terms of volume, frequency, pH & EC, Shrivardhan Bio-tech
has installed a computer controlled nutrition system from Vanvliet
Ltd Great Britain, now Hortimax and Elder Shany Israel each with
a capacity of 75 M3 / hour.Such growing parameters are of critical
importance to improve the productivity and quality of finished produce
per unit area.

 |
||
| POST HARVESTING OPERATION : | |||
|
Utmost
care is taken for post harvest technique in terms of handling the
cut flowers from harvesting in polyhouses to dispatch. High standards
of grading and sorting are maintained and no compromise is made
as far as the qualitative selection is concerned. Effective cold
chain is ensured till the last moment of delivery of flowers to
the Airline Cargo Terminals.

 |
 |
||
| VASE LIFE TESTING : | |||
|
Based
upon the recommendation of Mr. Andri Bakka Quality Controller of
MVA, Holland and based on the guidelines provided to us by Mr. Bipin
Deo of APEDA. We have commenced a systematic rose life-testing center
with continuous monitoring it on project.
|
|||
|
|||
| BOX PACKING & REFER VAN : | |||
|
Pre-cooling
of the boxes after packing of flowers to maintain the temperature
during transit time as well as keep the freshness of the flowers.
|
We
have two refregerated van for transportation up to Mumbai Airport
maintaining the temperature from 2 d. c. to 4 d.c.
