Vertical farming, a method of cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers or inclined surfaces using controlled-environment agriculture technology, demonstrates significant potential for enhanced productivity. This approach leverages artificial lights, requiring less water and fewer pesticides than conventional farming. Hydroponics, a key component of vertical farming, is particularly noteworthy for its ability to utilize 70% less water compared to traditional agricultural methods. This innovation allows for the cultivation of crops in urban environments, facilitating faster and more cost-effective access to fresh produce.

The rising health concerns stemming from the increasing incidents of chemical poisoning are anticipated to drive the growth of the greenhouse, nursery, and flower market in the future. Health issues associated with pesticide exposure can lead to both immediate and long-term effects. In response, the greenhouse, nursery, and flower industries are taking measures to minimize chemical exposure by adopting effective sanitation practices, safety precautions, reducing pesticide use, and implementing best management practices along with safety training. For example, in May 2022, a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council, a US-based non-profit organization, among 1,005 American adults aged 18-80 and adult Gen Z consumers aged 18-24 revealed that approximately 52% of participants followed a specific diet or eating pattern, up from 39% in 2021. The leading choices included clean eating (16%), mindful eating (14%), and calorie counting (13%). Thus, the increasing health concerns related to chemical poisoning are propelling the growth of the greenhouse, nursery, and flower market.

This unique blend, incorporating Howler Fungicide and the active ingredient azoxystrobin, proves instrumental in a holistic disease management strategy, addressing resistance issues across crucial crops. Growers can apply it either as a soil drench or foliar spray in the cultivation of commercial greenhouse ornamentals.
