India aims to grow Sea buckthorn in 1 mn hectare by 2020
Srinagar : Taking a cue from China, India today embarked on a major national initiative for commercial cultivation of sea buckthorn, a medicinal plant found in upper Kashmir Himalayan region.
The move includes a pledge by India to bring an area of one million hectare under the crop`s ambit by 2020 to reach the level achieved by the neighbouring country. "We are nowhere near to the three major sea buckthorn cultivation countries. For instance, compared to China which has 1.1 million hectares under sea buckthorn cultivation, we are negligible with just only 11,500 hectares of land for this purpose," Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said at a workshop here.
Mongolia has 30,000 hectares while Russia is cultivating the valuable plant in the 47,000 hectares, he said. It is for the first time the government has focused attention on the commercial cultivation of sea buckthorn plants, which has oval shaped and flame-coloured fruits which are highly nutritious and are a very good source of vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids, and antioxidant.
The plant is extensively used by China in its traditional medicines and for other purposes, he said while announcing the launch of national sea buckthorn initiative.
Ramesh added that agencies like the Indian Council for Forestry Research, Jammu and Kashmir Medicinlal Plants Introduction Centre, CSIR, ICAR, DBT and National Horticulture
Board working on various aspects of the plant will be now under the leadership of Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), which is a nodal laboratory for research and activities on the multi-purpose plant.
"An over arching national objective of the initiative will be to bring one million hectares of land area under
sea buckthorn cultivation by 2020," Ramesh said while exhorting the DIHAR to prepare an action-plan within next two months as a part of the Green India Mission.
To begin with, in the first phase, Leh,Kargil, Sonamarag, Ramban in Jammu and Kashmir, Lahul Spiti and Kinnaur in Himachal Pardesh and Chamoli in Uttarakhand will be targeted for cultivation, later to be extended to Arunanchal Pradesh in the next five years.
Priority for cultivation will be on riverbanks and hill slopes, Ramesh said at the workshop, a first of its kind which saw participation from locals, representatives from research institutions and various stakeholders, including farmers, to promote it on commercial basis.
Stressing that the project success depends on community participation, the Union Minister said that women`s self groups will be mobilised to scale up the initiative in the focus area.

Conium maculatum and breast cancer
Conium maculatum : 1-2 m. tall umbellifer, leaves 2 pinnate, segments toothed. flowers white.
English name: Hemlock
Family : Apiaceae (formerly Umbelliferae)
Distribution : C. maculatum is native in temperate regions of Europe, Kashmir, Pakistan, as well as North Africa.
(Especially in Conium maculatum Phalgham, Conium maculatum Sonamarag, Conium maculatum Tangmarag, Conium maculatum Yousmarag, Conium maculatum Shopian)
Ecological notes : Grows in waste places
Status : Not common
Hemlock-Conium maculatum is a very poisonous plant that has a long history of medicinal use, though it is very rarely used in modern herbalism. It is a narcotic plant that sedates and relieves pain. The plant contains coniine, an extremely toxic substance that can also cause congenital defects.
The whole plant is analgesic, antispasmodic, emetic, galactofuge and sedative. It is a traditional folk treatment for cancer and was formerly widely used internally in very small doses to treat a variety of complaints including tumours, epilepsy, whooping cough, rabies and as an antidote to strychnine poisoning. It is still used externally, usually in ointments and oils, in the treatment of mastitis, malignant tumours (especially breast cancer) anal fissure and haemorrhoids. The Conium maculatum leaves and stems should be harvested when the first fruits are forming, since they are then at their most active medicinally. The fruits are gathered either when fully ripe, or before they turn from green to yellow, and are then dried. Because of the extremely toxic nature of this herb, it is seldom employed nowadays. Use with extreme caution and only under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. See also the notes above on toxicity. A homeopathic remedy is prepared from a tincture of the fresh plant, harvested when in flower. It is used for treating complaints such as dizziness, coughs, insomnia, exhaustion, arteriosclerosis and prostate problems.
Min. seeds: 100 seeds per packet
