ABOUT OUR
SEEDS
The Jammu
and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre-JKMPIC specialises in seeds
and plants that are the backbone of organic and permaculture systems. These
include a wide range of open-pollinated, heirloom medicinal, fruit, herbal,
vegetable seeds, rare edibles, living mulches, green manures and insectary
plants for beneficial insects.
SEED
QUALITY
We specialise in high quality seed with a
guaranteed viability and purity and so we appreciate very much when gardeners
let us if know they have an occasional problem with seed germination. This
allows us to further improve our growing information and triggers additional
germination testing to pinpoint any problems. Germination testing is carried
out on a regular basis to check that the viability of seed is being maintained
throughout the year.
OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS/Non-hybrid
Our seeds are nearly all open-pollinated and so
are able to be grown again from seed you save yourself. Open-pollinated seeds
are genetically diverse treasures that have been passed on from generation to
generation. When you buy and plant open-pollinated seeds you are helping to
protect this valuable resource for the future.
SEED SAVING
Saving open-pollinated (OP) seeds protects our
global food heritage.Growing open pollinated seeds and saving some for next
year's crop is a practical and economical option for home gardeners.
HEIRLOOM SEEDS
Most of our open-pollinated seeds are also
considered heirloom or heritage seed. These are herb, flower and vegetable
varieties that were bred and handed down by generations of gardeners and
farmers. These varieties have stood the test of time, gardeners have saved them
year after year because they were recognised for their superior qualities such
as great flavour, good yield or disease resistance.
SEED PACKING
Our seeds are packed in simple plain paper, 90
mm x 145 mm, re-sealable packets with an inner cliplock plastic bag that is
also resealable. Our intention is to avoid as much as possible glossy paper and
full-colour printing due to its greater environmental impact. The paper packets
can be composted. The inner cliplock bag helps greatly to maintain the seed's
viability as it resists moisture far better than just a paper packet alone.
GROWING
INFORMATION
Seed packets are printed with detailed growing
information to help you with successful seed raising. In addition a free
leaflet Successful Seed Raising Guide is provided with each seed purchase. Or
you can read more
SEED TREATMENT
Please be aware that much of the seed retailed
in South Asia is chemically treated with
fungicides. The JK Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre does not use chemical
treatments, our organic solution to weevils is diatomaceous earth, the grey,
powdery coating on some of our seeds. Sometimes a hot water seed treatment is
worthwhile if you have been having persistent disease problems.
