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:
(A)- 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.
(B)- 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.
(C)- "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 AquaCure, 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.
