Click here : http://jkmpic.blogspot.in

How to Use
Step 1 : Take one bottle of  Waste Decomposer and mix it well in 200 L of water and 2 Kg Jaggery. Keep the solution for a week.
Step 2 : After a week use the solution to spray at your farms/water your land.
How it works :
As Manure :

=> 18-20 cm thick layers of 1-ton bio-waste such as agricultural waste, kitchen waste, cow dung etc are piled on the ground.
=> Wet the waste with solution of the waste decomposer.
=> Again another 18-20 cm thick layer of bio-waste is spread and again wet with waste decomposer solution.
=> The above processes are repeated till the piling goes 30-45 cm higher.
=> Turn the pile at every 7 days interval for uniform composting and add more solution at every turning.

Maintain 60% moisture during the entire period of composting. If required again add the solution. The compost gets ready to use after 30-40 days.
As Bio-pesticide :
The mass multiplied liquid waste decomposer culture is diluted in the ratio of 1:3 with water and applied as a foliar spray to control pest and diseases. It can control all types of soil borne, foliar diseases, insects and pests. Farmers are investing huge finances in purchasing fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides and other manures to revive the soil quality, but all this can be eradicated by one pocket saving solution. 
Waste decomposer is a viable solution to the farmers' distress. Amid the advanced technology the cost of farming has also increased by many folds. It gets difficult to make out profits from agricultural business. Solution like these could help the farmers to get away with the no profit no loss equations.

MP cow vigilante

Unacceptable is a new India where those who kill and lynch in the name of religion are feted and garlanded. If standing up for my people makes me a separatist and anti-national then its a badge I will wear with honour. Mehbooba Mufti

Unsurprisingly, the main accused in the MP cow vigilante attack (circled) has posted pix with another model citizen.

Organic vegetable farm Pampore

Bilal Habib Director Agriculture visits Patalbagh (Noor Bagh), Pampore, announce it as cluster vegetable village


By Bilal Habib
Sachnews Jammu Kashmir

PAMPORE, May 20: Patalbagh, a small village of Pampore in South Kashmir's Pulwama district is emerging as significant producer for vegetables in Jammu and Kashmir. 
This year a pea crop was grown on 350 Kannals of land by some 100 families. 
The farmers told Sachnews Jammu Kashmir that they earned a cash of rupees One Crore and twenty lakhs by selling the pea.


Irshad Ahmad, a young pea grower told Sachnews Jammu Kashmir that villagers in Patalbagh are turning to vegetable cultivation after seeing others reaping decent profit. 
"We will grow more vegetables and supply to others states if we are supported by agriculture department," he said.


Director Agriculture Kashmir Syed Altaf Aijaz Andrabi along with Chief Agriculture officer Pulwama, Mohamad Yusuf Shah, on Monday visited the Patalbagh village of Pampore and interacted with the farmers.



Director Agriculture was accompanied by senior officers of the district. All Saffron growers association members led by President Abdul Majeed Wani also present on the occasion.



Talking to Sachnews he said that the village has a vast potential of growing vegetables and an income of Rs One Crore twenty lakh has been earned by the farmers during the current season on the peas crop only.


"We have reached a reasonable yield potential of vegetable production. Now there is need for shifting to exotic and high value vegetable like broccoli, parsley and other varieties to earn more profit," he said. 


He emphasized upon giving boost to marketing of vegetables by making different groups and societies and branding the products and labelling and packaging in an attractive way.



He assured the farmers for providing the transportation facility of their fresh vegetables to other states through refrigeration vans , which will be given by the department on the requirement of the growers. 



Chief Horticulture officer Pulwama, Mohamad Yusuf Shah told Sachnews that Patalbagh village will be adopted as cluster vegetable village.


"The farmers will be given subsidy on hybrid seeds by half of its original price and other technical guidance and irrigation facilities will be provided to them," he said, adding 25 hectares of land has been identified for vegetable cultivation in the area.



The department will be providing 50 percent subsidy on purchase of high quality hybrid seeds and also will be providing technical guidance, irrigation facility and green houses to the beneficiaries.



The farmers told Sachnews that they earn around twenty thousand on cultivation of pea per kanal after deducing rupees five thousand cost of fertilizers, pesticides and labour. 
They appealed others to turn to vegetable cultivation and shy away from practice of growing banned crop like poppy. 


Many farmers in the area had grown poppy on 60 Kannals of land which was destroyed by Revenue officials Pampore and Exsise department during a drive.

Kiwi fruit trees in Kashmir

Kiwi or Chinese gooseberry (Actinidia deliciosa) is grown widely in New Zealand, Italy, USA, China, Japan, Australia, France, Pakistan,Iran, Kashmir, Chile and Spain.


kiwi garden Kashmir

Kiwi is mostly grown in the mid hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, J & K, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh,Karnataka, Uttarakhand,Tamil Nadu, Punjab  and Kerala.  Having been very newly introduced in the country estimates of area and production have not yet become available.

Kiwi trees 
Kiwi tree in Kashmir
Probably because they aren't mostly grown locally in India. They have to be imported. Import means taxes, more transportation charge, and higher risk of damage. All this leads to higher prices.

Kiwi fruit plant varieties cultivated in India are AbbottAllisonBrunoHaywardMonty and Tomuri.

Kiwi vine starts bearing at the age of 4-5 years while the commercial production starts at the age of 7-8 years. The fruits mature earlier at lower altitude and later at high altitudes because of variation in temperature. Large sized berries are harvested first while smaller ones are allowed to increase in size. After harvesting, the fruits are rubbed with a coarse cloth to remove stiff hairs found on their surface. Hard fruits are transported to the market. Subsequently, they lose their firmness in two weeks and become edible. Kiwi plant

Since kiwi is a dioecious plant, it bears pistillate and staminate flowers separately. Commercially grown important pistillate and staminate cultivars are:

Abbott : This is an early flowering and early maturing cultivar. The oblong, medium sized, fruits are covered with dense hairs. They are very sweet in taste with lower ascorbic acid content and medium titratable acidity.

Allison : Fruits resemble those of Abbott, except that these are slightly broader in proportion to its length. The petals of its flowers are overlapping and crimped along with margins. It is an early ripening, heavy bearer and sweet in taste. Ascorbic acid and titratable acidity are on the lower side. This variety is most suited for Himachal Pradesh.

Bruno : This cultivar requires comparatively less chilling period. The fruits are tapering in shape towards the stem end. They are longest among all the cultivars. The fruits is dark brown having very dense, short and bristly hair, highest in ascorbic acid and titratable acidity. The bearing is very heavy.

Hayward : Most popular cultivar or the world, Hayward is comparatively shy bearer with a tendency of biennial bearing. The fruit is broad and flat, being much wider in relation to length. It is superior in flavour with high sugar and ascorbic acid content. It requires comparatively more chilling hours.

Monty : It is a late flowering cultivar but fruit maturity is not late. The fruits are oblong, resembling those of Abbot and Allison. Being a highly prolific bearer cultivar, sometimes it needs hand thinning for obtaining good sized fruits. The fruit is somewhat wider towards blossom end with higher acidity and medium sugar content.

Tomuri : It is a good pollenizer for Hayward and Monty, the late flowering kiwis. Flowers appear usually in groups of 5. Allison : It is also used for pollenizing different cultivars.

Salvia-Sage herbal tea

Sage is an herb with several promising health benefits. It's high in antioxidants and may help support oral health, aid brain function and lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. This green spice is also easy to add to almost any savory dish. It can be enjoyed fresh, dried or as a tea

What is the herb sage used for?
The leaf is used to make medicine. Sage is used for digestive problems, including loss of appetite, gas (flatulence), stomach pain (gastritis), diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn. It is also used for reducing overproduction of perspiration and saliva; and for depression, memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease.

Is Sage healthy?
More recent studies have supported the use of sage in dentistry for its anti-inflammatory properties. Many other herbs and spices similar to sage also appear to have anti-inflammatoryantifungal, and antimicrobial effects. Rosemary is an herb from the same family as Sage.

Growing fruits for profit

Inca berries (Golden berries) 70 days. Huge yields of tart-sweet berries. This is the common type used by the Pilgrims; excellent for pies, jams, and preserves of all kinds; also delicious fresh. The fruit grows inside a paper-like husk (the same as Tomatillos).

Inca berries (Golden berries). All the Physalis types yield fruit loosely enclosed in papery husks (including the Tomatillo, which we list separately), and nearly all come from the New World. All are started just like tomatoes and are super easy to grow; they do not need to be staked! Few people realize that the Physalis varieties store extremely well when kept in their protective husks, lasting for quite some time under refrigeration. They are used fresh or cooked and are very juicy and sweet.
