The Haryana Horticulture Nurseries Act, 2025
The Haryana Horticulture Nurseries Act, 2025 regulates commercial plant nurseries producing and selling fruits, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants across Haryana. It mandates that nursery owners obtain a mandatory license, maintain detailed records of plant origin, display clear pricing, and properly label stock with details like variety and rootstock. Government inspectors are empowered to enter nurseries, inspect plants, and destroy diseased or undocumented stock. By establishing strict quality standards and providing legal compensation to buyers sold substandard plants, the legislation protects farmers and gardeners from fraud and plant diseases, ensuring access to genuine, high-quality agricultural stock.
