Crop group wise accessions collected are pulses (39) mostly common beans, cereals (30) mostly maize, vegetables and spices (25), pseudocereals and millets (16), besides one accession each of Glycine max, Solanum pseudocapsicum and Nicotiana tabacum. The germplasm has been conserved in National Gene Bank (NGB), New Delhi.

  • An Ethnobotanical Study of Medicinal Plants Used by the Locals in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, India
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenSIUC Ethnobotanical Leaflets 13: 1240-56 , 2009. An Ethnobotanical Study of Medicinal Plants used by the Locals in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Mahesh Kumar, Yash Paul and V. K. Anand Department of Botany, University of Jammu, Jammu.-180006 e-mail. [email protected] Issued October 01, 2009 Abstract This study represents a systematic attempt to explore the knowledge of the native people about plants, which they use to cure diseases. And it is an attempt towards conserving the local knowledge of people to plants. This paper presents a list and uses of some medicinal plants distributed in the high altitude district Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir. The list was prepared during an ethno-botanical survey of the region from December 2007 to January, 2009. This paper provides information about 71 ethno-medicinally useful plants grown in this region. In this paper, family, botanical name, local name, ethnomedicinal uses are given for each plant. Introduction It is documented that 80% of the world population has faith in traditional medicines, particularly plant drugs for their primary healthcare (Kala et al., 2006). The use of plants for medicinal purposes and human sustenance has been in practice in India since the Vedic age. The earliest mention of the medicinal use of the plants is found in the Rigveda, 1500-400 BC, Athurveda 1500 BC, Upnishada 1000-600 BC (Chauhan, 1999). In India about 17000 species of higher plants out of which 7500 are known for medicinal uses (Shiva, 1996).

  • Saffron Heritage Site of Kashmir in India. GIAHS Saffron Site Report
    SAFFRON HERITAGE SITE OF KASHMIR IN INDIA GIAHS Saffron Site Report (Part-2) 31st May, 2012 Revival of Kashmir Saffron Heritage System Saffron production is confined to a limited geographical area in the State. Saffron has traditionally been associated with the famous Kashmiri cuisine, its medicinal values and the rich cultural heritage of Kashmir. Its role in enriching the local cuisine, its medicinal value and its use in important religious rituals is well known. However, Saffron production is currently suffering on several counts, especially those relating to productivity as well as post harvest management. This has resulted in lower production and poor quality. There have been cases of several farmers abandoning Saffron cultivation in favour of other crops. The GIAHS pilot project study has assessed the situation and main reasons responsible for this trend are indicated below: Senile fields with inadequate plant population (2-3 lakh/ha instead of 5 lakh/ha) Moisture stress (rainfed cultivation) Inadequate availability of disease free Saffron corms Nutrient depletion in Saffron fields Longer planting cycle of Saffron corms (>15 years as against 4-5 years) Higher incidence of pests and diseases Delayed stigma separation, lowering Saffron recovery to 22 g/kg of fresh flowers (optimum recovery 30g/kg) Quality deterioration due to traditional practices: (sun drying lowers colouring strength from 16 to 8 per cent) Inadequate Quality Control / Certification / Branding system Poor price discovery and lower farm gate price (Involvement of intermediaries), and Issues of adulteration and admixture Page 1 of 39 1. Background Information 2.1. Present Scenario of Saffron Cultivation Saffron cultivation in Kashmir has been under threat of extinction.
