BACKGROUND
 There are patches of waste or unused land laying
vacant in every cantonment
 Every cantonment has a horticulture branch and is self
sufficient in this field
 The idea is to grow such crops which are commercially
viable and sell high in the market
 This will fetch revenue for the CBs by spending less
and earning profits which is exponentially higher than
traditional crops

COMMERCIAL
HORTICULTURE
Horticulture Branches of CB’s under RHQ Rwp have
successfully executed commercial farming projects of
following crops
Mushrooms
Stevia
Moringa
Kitchen Gardening has also been started in every
cantonment to grow and make available organic
vegetables free of cost

 Mushroom Business requires little space or land
 It grows independent of sunlight, feeds on organic matter and
does not require fertile soil
 In addition to the floor, air space can also be utilized resulting in
higher productivity
 Mushrooms are grown during winters as it requires lower

SOYABEAN PRODUCTION
 Soyabean (Glycine max) is an annual legume of the pea family having
edible seeds
 The Soyabean is economically the most important bean in the world,
providing vegetable protein
 Soyabean cultivation is possible in all seasons but kharif crop will give
higher yields compared to the other season crops
 It is very economical crop as 25 kg seed is required for one acre (100-
125/- Rs per kg) and with addition of FYM it will be 50-60/- thousand
expenditure per acre
 Soyabean is a highly revenue generating crop which gives Rs 0.5-0.7 M
(per acre) against an expenditure of 0.5-0.6 M (per acre)

CB MURREE HILLS (GHARYAL) SURVEY NO:

204. 204
INTRODUCTION OF AVOCADO
 Avocado is a pulpy fruit tree of tropical America
t is about the size and shape of large pear (is also called Avocado
Pear, Alligator Pear)
In Pakistan Chara pani & Tret (Murree) producing Avocado
California & Seloon are famous varieties
Avocado provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber,
potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid
Avocado is also act as a “Nutrient Booster” by enabling the body
to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha and beta-
carotene, in food that are eaten with the fruit

205. AVOCADO SEED, PLANT & FRUIT

206. PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF
AVOCADO
Avocado propagated by seeds
The off-spring is unlikely to resemble the parent cultivar in fruit
quality
While commercial orchards are planted using grafting and budding
methods
PXP distance 5 meter so = 150 plants in One Acre
A mature plant requires FYM every year in January
Chemical fertilizers can be applied according to need
In summer season irrigation should be given after 10 days while in
winter irrigation should be applied after 20 days
The Avocado fruit does not ripen on the tree, but will fall off or be
picked in a hard green state, then it will ripen quickly on the ground

207. COST ESTIMATION & PROFIT
Pits preparation = 30,000/-
Avocado grafted plants cost = 1500
Total 150 plants = 2,25,000/-
Manure & fertilizer cost = 25,000/-
 Tree Guard for Plant protection cost = 1,00,000/-
Total cost = 0.35 M
1st
production profit after 4 years = 1.4M

CUT FLOWER GLADIOLUS IN
ABBOTABAD & TAXILA CANTT

209. INTRODUCTION
 Known for its tall flower spikes and large, colorful blooms Therefor also
Called ‘SWORDY LILY’
Important commercial cut flower. Used for flower arrangement
Usually propagated by vegetative means ( Corms & Cormels)
For breaking corm dormancy Cold storage of corms at 3-70
c for 3 months
Planting time in October for plains & in March-April for Hills
Corms are planted ridges at depth of 5 cm
 Watering at 7-10 days intervals, over watering should be
avoided

210. For local market gladiolus is harvested when the lower most pair of
floret is fully opened
For distant market harvesting is usually done when the lower most pair
of floret has just shown the colour
Yield of flowers:
The flower spike yield in gladiolus is very according to the cultivar,
corm size, planting density and management practices etc
Approximate yield of flower spike would be around 50,000 per Acre
210
HARVESTING AND YIELD

211. Corms are stored in single layers in wooden trays having a wire
bottom
The scales over the corms are not removed during storage
Before storage corm / cormels should be treated with fungicides,
than air dried and stored
For gladiolus 4-10 0
C cold temperature are required
