Horticulture institute sets up clinic for pest-infected plants.
Sep 01, 2023

Constant pest attacks and multiple plant diseases had impacted the city’s growing interest in urban gardening or terrace cultivation of vegetable crops during the post-pandemic era. After investing thousands of rupees in setting up infrastructure for terrace gardening, many were forced to give up their hobby due to pest attacks and lack of information on attending to types of plant diseases.
In some good news for urban gardeners and farmers, Indian Institute of Horticulture Research at Hesaraghatta has set up a ‘plant health clinic’ on its premises.
The facility, said to be the first of its kind and conceptualised by scientists and plant pathologists of IIHR, was inaugurated on Wednesday. Gardeners can bring samples of plants infected with diseases to the clinic and scientists will diagnose them free of cost and prescribe suitable cures.
