Nursery & Planting Material
Our nursery division is the backbone of BHC. We propagate, grow, and supply certified planting material — grafted fruit saplings, ornamental plants, vegetable seedlings, and rootstocks — to farmers, institutions, and trade buyers across Bardhaman and West Bengal.

- Bulk supply for commercial growers and institutions
- Quality checks at every propagation stage
Soil Testing Laboratory
Established in 2005, our on-campus soil testing lab delivers precise, farm-specific nutrient and pH analyses. We help farmers and commercial growers understand exactly what their soil needs — so every input decision is backed by data, not guesswork.
- Macronutrient analysis (N, P, K)
- Micronutrient and pH profiling
- Organic carbon and salinity testing
- Farm-specific fertiliser recommendation reports
- Turnaround in 3–5 working days
