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.
