Nano curcumin
crystals under SEMCurcumin (Soluble)Insoluble)
Curcumin
crystals under SEM
Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound derived from turmeric, possesses diverse
pharmacologic effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-proliferative
and anti-angiogenic activities. Phase I clinical trials have shown that curcumin is
safe even at high doses (12g/day) in humans but exhibit poor bioavailability. To
make it bio-available, nano-curcumin has been made using a simpler sonication
based protocol. The nano-curcumin thus developed has 2.5 fold increased
solubility in both water as well as in virgin coconut oil. This can be used as
potential enhanced bio-available formulation of Curcumin

IPM for mango fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis
Involves Pre-Harvest Practices
• Sanitation + intercultural operations +MAT trap + one spray of insecticide –Deltamethrin 0.0028%.
• Install Methyl eugenol traps @ 6-8 /Ac(area-wide management isrecommended).
• Apply bait splashes at 10 day intervalwith 0.1 % jaggery + suitable toxicant ontree trunks (towards fruit maturity)
• Avoid delay in harvest.
This method brings down fruit fly infestation from
20% to below 2%
Site specific nutrient management for
targeted yield
Packages for organic cultivation & GAP
of spices
Crop Specific micronutrient
mixtures for Spices
Intercropping in spices
Yield increase ranged from 10-30%
PGPR for healthy planting material production
PGPR treated ginger and untreated ginger in field
• Ecologically safe Technology / Biocapsules
• Enhanced nutrient mobilization and nutrient use efficiency
• Increased growth and yield
• Protect the crop against diseases
• Cost of treatment is Rs. 10 per kg of rhizome for ginger
• The increase in rhizome sprouting and hence competition
from weeds.
