SPECIAL SUBMISSION
EnviroCure2000 & Egypt's Cotton Farming Problems
Reviewing the different chronic, persistent and
difficult-to-solve problems in some developing countries, AIM's Agriculture
Technology Group has identified certain ones that are typical to each
specific country. Egypt faces very serious problems from 3 sources:
1- Irrigation Canals and Rice Farms are:
- very contaminated because people excrete, urinate, wash clothes, and
animals that drink usually eliminate into the water,
- This creates the problem of bacterial, diseases and pollution hazards,
- The water itself is very contaminated with dangerous diseases, especially
Balharzia, which Egypt has suffered from for very long time without
resolution. Then, after building the High Dam, the growth in mosquito
population meant the rise in cases of Malaria, West Nile Virus, Rift
Valley Fever, etc. Some even attribute the high incidents of Hepatitis
in Egypt to this source, which end up expanding contamination to include
edible vegetables and fruits.
- Petro-pollutants are very high, especially with the washing of Trucks
and run-off from brake fluid, diesel and engine oils that are either
dumped into the canals or washed from streets by rain.
2- Cotton Worm destroys a high portion of Egypt's
Cotton production. Yet, most dangerously is that the toxic and cancer-causing
insecticides that are mixed with the oil when seeds are pressed. This
causes many digestive and other health problems - not to mention cancer.
3- "Overuse Cycle" of inorganic and usually toxic fertilizers
and insecticides, due to exhaustion of the soil by over-cultivation as
well as insects resistance to insecticides.
The EnviroCure Solution:
Therefore, the use of EnviroCure and derivatives AgriCure
and EquaCure, which are made from edible plant extracts, at very
low concentrations can cost effectively solve many problems [For Rice
Problems see Protocol No. 4]:
- They will clean the water by decomposing
inorganic chemical pollutants,
- They will destroy most of the bacteria
and other pathogens, like Balharzia snails,
- They will destroy mosquito larvae, thus
break the cycle of infestation and diseases they cause, like malaria,
etc.
- When the treated water is used in irrigation,
it promotes remediation and rehabilitation of soil by breaking down
insecticides and toxic fertilizers. Simultaneously, it will provide
plants with a boost in their immune system to fight pathogens. It will
also kill diseases and nematodes in the roots. But, most importantly,
it will break the cycle of the Cotton Worm. Yet, if AgriCure or EnviroCure
are used to spray the cotton plants, they will kill the Worm and make
leaves surface cleaner to enhance photosynthesis. Most importantly,
when the cottonseeds are pressed for oil there will be no residues of
carcinogenic insecticides or toxic chemicals.
