The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre's Herb Garden plays a central role in the education of our students. Botanical medicine students study and cultivate a variety of medicinal plants throughout their life cycle. Many of these plants are harvested at their seasonal peak for creating medicinal tinctures and salves. Nutrition classes use the cultivated culinary herbs and organic vegetables in the instition's whole-food kitchen lab. The garden is designed, cultivated and managed by students and volunteers under the guidance of the garden manager and assistant garden manager with a combined total over 21 years of experience.

Kiwi cultivation in india
1. Kiwi Guide
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 cultivation & Production
Kiwi is mostly grown in the mid hills of Himachal
Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, J & K, Sikkim, Meghalaya,
Arunachal Pradesh,Karnataka,Uttarakhand and Kerala.
Having been very newly introduced in the country
estimates of area and production have not yet become
available.
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 Abbott, Allison, Bruno, Hayward, Monty 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,
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.
Planting distance varies according to variety and system of training. Usually, T-bar and
pergola system are adopted for planting. In T-bar , a spacing of 4 m 12 ft. from row to row
and 5-6 m.(15-18 ft) from plant to plant is common whereas in pergola system, a spacing of
6 m. from row to row should be maintained.
Yield:
Yield of Kiwi fruit is influenced by factors like varaties training system,pollination,ratio of
male and female plants,manuar and fertilizer,irrigation system and climate
conditions.Expected average yield after 3 years is 4 tons per ha (20 kanals of land) and
after 8 years 25 tons per ha.The productive age is 30-50 years.
