INTRODUCTION

The state of Jammu and Kashmir is the northern most state of India

lying between 32°-17° to 36°-30° N latitude and 73°-26° to 80°-30° E

longitude and comprises 3 distinct areas viz Jammu, Kashmir and

Ladakh, each with unique physical, social and cultural features. The state

is bounded by China in the north east, by Afghanistan in the North West

and in the west by Pakistan. The southern boundary is contiguous with

Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Borders on north, east and west have

natural barriers; state is normally accessible only from south. The total

area of the state is 2, 22,798 sq.kms. The total population as per 2001

census was 101, 43,700 .The present population (as per the projection) in

2011 is over 131, 85,059.

Himalayan Ranges extending north west to south east cover

maximum part of the state with 300 to 6000 meters and above in height.

Zanskar range which starts from Nampa rises to a height of 6000 meters

and above. The highest peak in this region is Mount Godwin which has a

height of 8697 meters. Kashmir valley is separated by this range formed

by river Indus and also blocks the south western Monsoons. Pir Panjal

range which has a height of 3420 meters separates Jammu province from

Kashmir valley.

The important rivers which flow through the state are Indus,

Jhelum, Chenab and Ravi. Indus starts from Mansarowar at a height of

5100 meters in the Himalayas and flows diagonally towards North West.

Jehlum, The other important river starts from a spring at Verinag which

lies north-east of Anantnag Town, the river flows through the city of

Srinagar and the town of Sumbal, Sopore and Baramulla. The third

important river of the state is Chenab which also starts from Himalayas.

JAMMU REGION

Jammu is also the winter capital of the state. It is an ancient city

and both historically and culturally has got a distinct identity. This region

is home of the Dogras, whose name is derived from the Sanskrit word

“dogirath” meaning “two lakes”, and these two lakes being Mansar and

Surinsar, which are amongst the tourist attractions of the region. The

Dogra rulers were great patrons of art. As is seen, most of the temples,

forts and palaces are the creation of Dogras, which are a great gift to their

city. Holy places to the various manifestations of Devi (the Goddess) are

found all over Jammu and Kashmir. The most holy cave shrine is the

Vaishnodevi. It is about 60kms from Jammu.

KASHMIR REGION:

Kashmir is known as the land of meadows, lakes and springs. The

oldest written account of Kashmir confirms that the valley was a large

lake surrounded by towering snow bound mountains. Geological findings

also confirm that the valley with its fossil remains of aquatic animals and

plants was once submerged under water. Due to volcanic convulsion, this

great lake was drained away. The supporting proof to this theory is the

formation of Karewas, which are raised plateaus like formations with

sloping sides separated by ravines. The scenic beauty of Kashmir is

legendary. Where ever one travels, the mountains are a constant presence.

The beautiful national highway which connects the valley to the rest of

India is a picturesque road, climbing up and down some of the majestic

mountains like Pir Panjal. While crossing the Jawaharlal Tunnel, a 3kms

long tunnel carved through the heart of the mountains forms a splendid

view point. The first to catch the eye at the foot of the PirPanjal

Mountains is Verinag, the spring that is the source of the river Jehlum

which flows into Pakistan.Srinagar is the summer capital. The most

famous Dal Lake, Nagin Lake, Hariparbat fort, Shankaracharya temple,

Mughal Garden (Nishat, Shalimar, Cheshmashahi, tulip gardens ,Pari

Mahal), Hazratbal Mosque, are found within the vicinity of Srinagar city.

Amaranth, the holy cave with a huge ice lingam, is situated at a height of

3880 meters, and is 142kms to the north east of Srinagar. The road to this

holy cave passes through torrential streams, ice bridges, and frozen

glaciers and a deep blue high altitude lake of Sheeshnag. Another temple

which is 21kms from Srinagar is Khir Bhavani. The Dachigam National

park, which is located to the east of Srinagar, is the home of Hangul. The

other places worth to see in the valley are Verinag, Kokerneg, Achabal,

Pahalgam, Ahrabal Fall, Gulmurg, Sonamarg, yousmarg,etc.

The Kashmir valley has four distinct seasons. The winter is quite

severe. The whole valley is covered with thick blanket of snow. The

landscape is interspersed by villages, leafless trees, rivers, streams and

forests of deodar, blue pine and Fir.The spring brings pleasant sunshine,

the snow starts melting, the spring flows start blooming in gardens and

meadows, the fruit trees of almond apricot, peach and cherry are in full

bloom in various shades of white and pink. The agriculture activity starts

with ploughing in the valley plain and the terraced fields on hills. The

paddy seedling is pricked out.The summer is a season of flowers- with

dehaliyas,cannas, roses, merry gold’s, gladoiols, zinnias, in full bloom.

The temperature sometime touches 34°C. The agriculture activity of

hoeing and weeding is undertaken in the paddy fields. The market is

flooded with different types of fruits. The autumn brings various shades

o0f colors with chinars turning Golden brown and the poplars and

willows shedding their leaves. The apples, pears are ripe, The rice is

harvested. The saffron flowers are in full bloom in late autumn.

LADAKH REGION:

Ladakh is situated to the east of Kashmir valley. Ladakh the

northern frontier of India is a area of high altitudes, glaciers, streams and

beautiful valleys hidden among some of the tallest mountains in the world

in the “Karakoram Range”. In the past, Ladakh was the region through

which several trade routes of Central Asia passed through. This is also the

land of extreme cold; during winter it goes upto -38°C. The intensity of

sunshine is also strong. This is also the land of Buddhism. The people of

Ladakh are a mixture of the Mongoloid and the Aryan races. The features

of all are Mongoloid and they speak Ladakhi language. It is also the land

of Gumpas and Lamas. Since the Gompa is the home of a large number

of Lamas, it is a community in itself. Pershed on a hill or high elevation,

most Gompas rise several storeys high. Hemis is one of the most

important Gompas in Ladakh.

The other interesting places are Zanskar and Nobra valley. Zanskar

is the valley bounded by Kargil and Lamayuru in the north and Kishtwar

and Manali in the south. It is accessible from Himachal as well as

Kishtwar. River Zanskar, which cuts across the zanskar Range to join the

Indus River,serves as a good road for vehicles to cross over the Gorge

into Padum once it is frozen solid in winter. The Nobra valley, which is

situated at a little lower elevation, has temperate type of climate. This

valley is known for its number of hot springs, fields, meadows and poplar

plantations. The main rivers apart from Indus River which have their

sources in Tibet are Shyok, Nobra, Zanskar, Suru, and Drass. Also three

large and beautiful salt lakes, Tsomorari, Pangong, and Rupshu are

located here. Apart from the highest peaks of Sesar Kangri and Nun Kun

there are many other un-named peaks in the Zanskar Range.

SOILS

Soils exhibit difference in naturally occurring thin layer of

unconsolidated material in their physical and chemical characteristics (

Soil Structure, Soil Texture, Soil Humus, Soil water) , as well as

capability for growing crops.

The differences in soil arise from the mineral composition of the

parent rock and from the variation in climatic condition which together

influence the organic and inorganic process of soil development. In outer

plains and hills the underlying rocks are loose, boulders and gravel with

ferrogenous clay. This type of soil is found in area of Kathua, Akhnoor,

Jasrota, Samba and Rajouri. In the middle mountain region soil is fairly

thick and rich capable of supporting Himalayan Oak, Pine, Spruce, Fir

and Deodar trees. There is sufficient organic matter and nitrogen content

in the Alluvium of the valley soils. The valley of Kashmir has many types

of Soils like Clay (Gurti), Loam (Behil), Sandy (Sekil), Peats (Nambal),

Surzamin (Lemb), Floating Garden soils and Karewa soils. In southern

parts of Udhampur and Doda District Brown Soil under Deciduous

Forests are found. Here the color of soil is dark brown and varies from

Dry Loams to Silt Loams with Gravels in small percentage. In middle

Ladakh range and another in Doda District, Podzolized soil occurs along

a vast stretch. In Poonch, Udhampur and Anantnag Districts sub

mountainous soil are usually found. In Kashmir valley Rice is mainly

cultivated in this soil.

In Kathua and Jammu mainly alluvial soils are found, which are

loamy with little clay content and contain small quantity of lime with

high magnesium content.

There are three parallel belts widely apart from Forest and Hill soils, one

stretching from Poonch to Kathua in Jammu province second North West

of Jhelum valley in Kashmir province and the third belt stretching from

south eastern part of Ladakh range. The soils are generally mixed with

pebbles.

In southern part of Udhampur and Doda district brown soil under

Deciduous Forest are found. Color of the soil is dark-brown and varies

from dry loams to silt loams with gravels in a small percentage.

In middle Ladakh range two isolated patches (one in Ladakh and another

in Doda district) of Podzolised soil occur over a long stretch.

In Poonch, Udhampur and Anantnag district sub-mountain soils are

mainly found. In the valley this soil is cultivated intensively and rice is

the main crop.

GEOLOGY

The state is situated in the transverse segment of Himalayas

known as the Punjab and Kashmir Himalayas.

OUTER KASHMIR OR OUTER HILL DIVISION

The division extends from the foot hills of Punjab to Pir Panjal

range. Rising gradually from plains of Punjab, the division becomes sub-

mountainous to semi-mountainous northwards. Being rugged in

topography the area is locally called Kandi. The hills are roughly parallel

to each other. The Geological structure is generally anticlinorium. The

rock dominating in this division is Shiwalik Murees. Besides there are

dogra slates (Salkhalas) and Eocene lime stone in this division.

VALLEY DIVISION / CENTRE DIVISION / JHELUM

VALLEY DIVISION

This division extends from Pir Panjal range upto zojila range or

Zanskar range. In between Zanskar and Dhauladhar ranges is a lush green

Kashmir valley division. The valley division is of spindle shape with

Jhelum river flowing through it. In the south and south east full sequence

from Cambrian to carticeous dominantly limestone interrelated with

shales and stones are exposed. On the right bank of the river from

Verinag upto Boniyar, Karewas of first and second order are exposed. On

the left bank besides lime stones and shales numbers of flows called

Punjal traps are exposed.

HIGH MOUNTAIN DIVISION / INDUS VALLEY

DIVISION / GREATER KASHMIR DIVISION

In between Zanskar and Karakoram ranges is a vast high

mountainous division called the Indus valley division of Kashmir,this

division mainly comprises of rock formation called Indus facies and

plutonic. In Zanskar area rocks are mostly metamorphic, while as in

Kargil area the rocks are sedimentary with a few basaltic extrusive.

CLIMATE

State of Jammu and Kashmir lies in subtropical latitudes, the major

part of the state resembles to that of mountainous and continental parts of

the temperate latitudes. Generally prevailing weather and climatic

conditions of the state have micro level variations. The state has three

distinct regions of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, though falling in sub-

tropic but difference in altitude modifies the climate of these areas from

temperate to arctic. Western part of the state faces more precipitation than

the eastern part. The mountain ranges which run parallel to each other act

as climatic barriers, Pir panjal being the main barrier of south west

monsoon and the other barrier is the great Himalaya and Ladakh is in its

rain shadow

Factors responsible for the climate of the state are as under:

1. Latitude

2. Altitude

3. Terrain

4. Distance from sea

The State can be broadly divided into four climatic zones:

Cold arid zone

Temperate Zone

Subtropical temperature transitional zone

Low Altitude subtropical zone

The high rainfall area is in the western and southern parts of the

state with an average annual rainfall of 1500mm. Ladakh region has

lowest rainfall with annual average of 99.67 mm .The state gets rains

both in summer and in winter . The heavy summer monsoons rising

from Indian Ocean normally find their entry to the valley over the

lofty Pir Panchal range. So the valley has scanty of rainfall during

summer while the outer plains have most perception during the

monsoon season. The valley gets most of the rains in the form of snow

/rain during winter months due to westerlies.

Climatic data of some important districts of J&K

Area Mean annual Temp. (0 C) Annual Rainfall (mm)

Leh 5.5 115

Dras 2.0 757

Kargil 8.9 306

Srinagar 13.5 664

Jammu 24.4 1148

Agro Ecological zones in Jammu & Kashmir:

The state of Jammu and Kashmir has been divided into following 9

agro ecological zones based on rainfall, evapotranspiration, length of

growing period, soil and physiography.

Eastern Ladakh, Cold Hyper Arid with LGP of < 60 Days.

Western Ladakh, Cold Typic Arid with LGP of 60 - 90 Days.

North West Kashmir, Cool, Dry, Semi Arid with LGP of 90 - 120

Days.

High Mountainous Central Kashmir , Temperate dry sub-humid

with LGP of 120-150 Days

Kashmir Valley, Temperate moist sub humid with LGP of 150-210

Days.

Western Jammu Himalayas, warm moist sub humid with LGP of

210-270 Days.

Jammu Shivaliks, Hot sub humid with LGP of 270-300 Days.

Jammu Plains, Hot sub humid with LGP of >300 Days.

Natural Vegetation:

Due to the variation in slope, aspect and altitude, the vegetation

types of the state varies from Himalayan meadows in high altitude above

snow line to the green conifers on gentle slopes of the higher ranges and

also scrub forests at the foot hills to the deciduous forests of the lower

southern slopes of Pir Panchal.

Out of all climatic factors, the influence of temperature and moisture

on vegetation is most important. Plants can grow only within certain

temperature and moisture limits, although the limits are not the same for

all plants .Most of the plants however sees growth when the soil

temperature drops below 5 0

C. It is because of this factor that there is

hardly any vegetation at 5550m (about 18000 Feet) above the sea level in

the state of J&K. The natural vegetation of the state has great

altitudinal variations and latitudinal zonation. The vegetation of the state

has undergone a drastic change due to deforestation. The special

distribution of natural vegetation under different types has been classified

under the following categories.

a) Sub tropical forests: This type of vegetation is confined to

shivaliks and lower slopes of the middle Himalayas. The forests

have a thick under growth of bushes and scrubs .The dominant

specie under this category is Sal, Shisham, Pipal, Silver Pine,

Khair, Thorny Bushes, Evergreen Scrubs, Climbers, Reed and Tall

Grasses. Most of these species are broad leaved deciduous type

which shed their leaves during the months of January February

March, just before the starting of summer season. These forests are

mainly utilized for fuel wood, timber, construction purposes and

many other uses. These forests are also known for valuable

products like Katha, Resins, Gum, besides medicinal plants.

b) Temperate forests: After sub tropical forests towards north, the

region of temperate forests starts .This type of forest regime is

found on the slopes of Pir Panchal , Greater Himalayas , Zanskar

and Karakoram between 1500m to 3000m. The dominant species

found in this temperate forest zone are Deodar, Pine, and Silver fir,

Spruce, Fir, Elm, Alder, Cedar, Ash, Birch, Paper Birch and Hazel.

The temperate forests are utilized fir timber, fuel wood, charcoal

and for construction purposes. A good quality of timber and paper

pulp gets from these forests.

c) Alpine Pastures: The grasslands are found on the higher slopes

which are known as Margs or Alpine Pastures. These lie between

3600m-4000m above m.s.l. The climate in this area is extremely

coldin summer months (may-sep) when ice melts and lush green

grasses grow. Small dwarf varieties or birch and junipers are also

found due to low temperature at high altitudes. The conifer trees

merge into extensive Alpine Pastures. The astures/Grasslands are

useful grazing by the Gujjars and Bakerwals.

d) Natural Vegetation of Ladakh: Ladkah region being a high

altitude cold desert, has an average rainfall of less than 20cms.Due

to lack of moisture, xerophytic vegetation is found in this region. In

certain soil conditions some plants have extremely long tap roots to

reach deep underground water supplies. Only in Nubra valley and

some places around Indus River, some natural vegetation is found.

Hipposphae, Willows, Popular are major woody components which

are used as fuel and materials of roofing the houses. It is a fact that

J&K state is poor in natural vegetation as compared to other

Himalayan states of India .During the last fifty years a substantial

proportion of forest area has been cleared and brought under

agriculture and pastures. Now whatever is left , the state still has

great importance with regard to soil conservation besides providing

timber , fuel wood, fodder, medicinal herbs , water and scenic

beauty conservation .

Land Use/Land Cover:

In general the land use /land cover has been classified under different

categories characterized with mountainous and undulating terrain and

micro level variations in temperature, precipitation and soils. This state

has a high degree of variation in its cropping pattern and crop

combination. As is seen, the Jammu plain has high concentration of

Wheat, Rice and Maize, Pulses, Fodder and Oil Seeds. While the

Kashmir valley is well known for its Paddy, Maize, Orchards, Mulberry

and Saffron cultivation.In Ladakh Barley, Wheat, Maize, Vegetables,

Bersem and fodder are main crops.

Sericulture Activity in Jammu and Kashmir with Special

Reference to Bandipore & Reasi Districts

Introduction

The State of Jammu & Kashmir is famous for its rich Flora and

diverse climatic conditions. Since the state is situated in the sub tropical

latitudes and having micro level variations in altitudes the climate is

favorable for Mulberry plantation. It is documented that sericulture

was introduced in this state before 15th

century and the region was

considered to be the home of silk industry. Till now nine indigenous

varieties and twenty three exotic Varieties belonging to four species

of Genus Morus are reportedly to be growing in this state. Some

exotic varieties have been introduced from China and Japan in order

to improve the quality and quantity of silk. In this State this activity

is an agro based industry. Export oriented ,generating employment ,

besides the boost to the economy of the state viz z viz maintaining the

environmental balance despite the evolution of many manmade

fibers, no match is found for the shine , elegance , lighter weight and

luster of the silk which has given it the status of the queen of textiles .

The state of Jammu and Kashmir has a tremendous scope for

mulberry cultivation and its development having favorable climatic

conditions. This is again favored by good seasonal trends , good soil ,

drainage pattern which has helped the state of Jammu and Kashmir

to have sericulture activities on top, the viable conditions of the State

could be converted into silk worm gene bank for sustaining the

sericulture of the whole world . The cultivation of mulberry plant has

been practiced since times immemorial. In this connection in 1964 an act

was passed where in it was declared that the silk industry is a state

monopoly and possession of silk worms and eggs as well as independent

sale of cocoons was prohibited. In the beginning the mulberry plantation

was done on the banks of rivers, road side, paths and also in graveyard,

temples, masjids, etc.

In the earlier times cocoons were taken to England for

reeling of silk and weaving fiber. But in 1934 Government, established

silk filatures at RamBagh in Srinagar & subsequently one silk filatures at

Jammu to facilitate the process of reeling. In 1949 another mulberry

protection act was enforced in the state under which cutting of trees,

damaging and pruning of these trees except for use of mulberry leaves for

silkworm rearing was prohibited. Meanwhile Central Silk Board was set

up by GOI for development of various silk industries in the country. But

due to lack of proper research in the field of sericulture; the industry

couldn’t grow as it should have been. To combat this problem

government again passed an act wherein the

1. Ownership of mulberry to the farmer in whose land tree exists.

2. Practicing reeling in private sector.

3. Establishment of cocoon market to allow free sale of cocoons.

4. Increase in the prices of cocoons.

But this also could not give boom to the industry , the reason

was lack of technological knowledge among farmers , lack of proper

rearing accommodation ,shortage of mulberry leaves , unscientific

method of production of cocoons and seeds, low remunerative price

of primary produce to the farmers as compared to other states ,

inefficient cocoon market , poor weaving sector.

Despite having all the above problems, the sericulture

activity is still practiced in most villages of the state

Sericulture being one of the traditional agro based cottage industry

of the state producing high quality biovoltine silk comparable to

international quality helps inbimproving economic conditions of the rural

masses and providing employment opportunity in pre and post cocoon

activities. Sericulture continues subsidiary occupation for about

22,000 rural families in 2300 villages in the state. Most of these

families belong to economically backward sections of the society.

Annually about 830 M.Ts of cocoons are produced in the state

generating an income of about Rs 275.00 lacs. The department is

actually engaged in propagation of mulberry plants for its

distribution among the farmers, providing technical assistance and

other inputs to farmers in conducting silkworm rearing, organizing

cocoon markets and development of silk reeling in the private sector

in the state. It is the endeavor of the department to strive for higher

productivity levels and this has been achieved by introduction of latest

technologies in different production processes. The productivity has

increased from 25 to 35 Kgs of cocoons per oz of seed. Strategies are

being developed to double the production within the 11th plan period and

utilizing the entire quantity of cocoons within the state for its value

addition. For this purpose new areas will be brought under sericulture

activities, adoption of the cluster approach, improving quality of cocoons,

productivity of cocoons per ounce of seed, development of post cocoon

sector and weaving sector.

In real sense the productivity and profitability in sericulture depends

mainly on the productivity and quality of Mulberry leaf. The cocoon

production of an area is relatively proportional to the quantum of biomass

(Mulberry Leaves). Thus in order to laision the activities such as biomass

production, disease free layings and cocoon production, estimation of

mulberry acreage is highly useful.

Since last two decades there has been tremendous fall in the crop

production and number of rearers and general decline in sericulture

production was observed which can mainly be attributed to:

Scarcity of good quality mulberry leaves.

Conventional methods of rearing silk worms without proper

hygienic conditions.

Crop losses due to Silk Worm diseases.

Lack of proper identification of suitable land for Mulberry

plantation.

Scarcity of productive silkworm breeds.

Non Availability of proper storage facility for cocoons at rearer

level.

Non availability of the technological knowhow at rearer level.

Insufficient R&D support.

As a matter of fact, sericulture is one of the important activities

in the rural sector which plays a significant role in socioeconomic

betterment of that place. Realizing the potential of sericulture

industry in increasing the export earnings and having immense

employment generation potential, the central silk board, GOI, launched

the national sericulture project with the objective of increasing the silk

productivity in traditional sericulture states like Karnataka, Tamilnadu,

West Bengal and Jammu and Kashmir with basic aim at:

To gain popularity of Indian Bivoltine silk all over the globe.

To increase demand of silk fabric.

To increase the scope for earning foreign currency.

To engage many small and marginal farmers and artisans in

the production of mulberry silk, for proper balancing of

export, production and prizes.

Such a balancing is possible only through cost effective

reliable information system.

Objectives:

1. The main objective of the present project is to map and identify the

potential areas for development of Silkworm food plants for

Mulberry and Non Mulberry sericulture on 1:50000 scale.

2. To carry out a detailed survey to monitor progress of sericulture

development.

3. To develop and Implement a network of Sericulture information

linkage and knowledege system (SILK) in the districts under study.

This study will benefit the people who are engaged in this activity

at the grass root level, institutions that help in financial

implementation, sericulture departments, central silk board and

other concerned departments of the state.

MULBERRY SUITABILITY EVALUATION FOR

BANDIPORE AND REASI DISTRICTS OF J&K STATE

The rearing of silkworms on the mulberry trees for the production of

raw silk is known as sericulture. The J&K State has diverse climatic

conditions, as this state is situated in the sub-tropical latitudes and having

microlevel variation in altitude is very much congenial for mulberry

plantation. In Kashmiri language the silkworm is known as

“PAETKUEM” and silk fibre as “POTE”.In the past the tall mulberry

trees were raised and now these tress have been replaced by dwarf

mulberry trees, as these trees are more productive and sustainable. Also

in 1907 Silk Protection Act was passed by government by which sale of

cocoons, felling of mulberry trees and production of silkworms seed is

under the Govt.control.

In this state two types of mulberry species are grown,

1. Morus Alba

2. Morus Indica

Some Japanese species have been recently introduced in Mirgund

& Pampore nurseries.Since last two decades there has been

tremendous fall in the crop production as well as in number of

rearers.Though in Jammu division the position is reverse.The main

reasons behind the fall in crop production and number of rearers are:

Good quality mulberry leaves are not available

The rearing of silkworms is being done through traditional methods

having no criteria for suitable and hygienic conditions.

No technical support is given to the rearers.

There can be good economic benefit through this activity but due

to poor marketing support returns by sale of the cocoons are low.

Crop losses due to Silkworm diseases

Storage facility of cocoons is not available at rearer level.

People get good returns from other occupation like Agriculture,

Horticulture, and Handicrafts rather than from Sericulture as very low

income is generated through it because after harvesting of cacoon crop,

farmers have to wait for months together to dispose off their crop and

even at the time of selling cacoon crop proper returns are not obtained by

the cocoon rearers due to lack of adequate market support.

Methodology (Mulberry Suitability Evaluation for District

Bandipore and Reasi of Jammu & Kashmir State)

The state having diverse types of climatic scenario is very much

congenial for cultivation of mulberry plantation. To improve the

production, it is necessary to identify the nutritious soil and high yielding

varieties of mulberry under rainfed and irrigated conditions of the state.

The study for suitability of mulberry cultivation is based on the

following parameters.

Elevation

Soil condition

Temperature zonation

Moisture conditions

The whole landmass of District Bandipore and Reasi was screened

for these parameters, The study was carried out by using available

satellite images and the collateral data comprising of SOI Maps, Soil

map published by NBSS, and the other relevant data and decision

was taken regarding its suitability for mulberry cultivation in four

distinct categories viz. Highly suitable (S1), Moderately suitable (S2),

Marginally Suitable (S3) and not suitable (NS).

Climatic Requirements:

The climatic conditions are favourable for luxurious growth of

mulberry almost in both regions of Jammu & Kashmir. It is grown

successfully in the rainfall range of 500mm to 1500 mm and

temperature range of 9.50C to 34

0C

Soil site Requirements:

The quality and the quantity of the mulberry production is mainly

dependant on the quality of soil where it is grown. Mulberry tree being a

deep rooted perennial plant, and grows best in loamy soils of high

fertility,which should be deep well drained,rich in organic matter,clay

loam to loam in texture non porous with good moisture retaining

capacity.

In J&K it is generally grown in the areas of Alluvial soils (Kathua &

Jammu), Brown hill soils (Udhampur and Doda), Sub-mountain Soils

(Poonch, Anantnag, Pulwama, Baramulla and Srinagar) with pH

between 5.5 to 8.5.

Ground Water quality

Mulberry is a deep rooted and perennial crop and ground water

quality is a very important factor that influence the growth of the

cultivation .In J&K the ground water quality generally ranges from good

to fairly good quality.The ground water differs in state from place to

place .In alluvial fans and hard rock areas the water table is usually

shallow to medium deep while as in Karewas the water table is deep.The

ground water plays an appreciable role in Mulberry cultivation

particularly on lower slopes of nallahs and river terraces and table lands.

Bandipore:

Bandipora District is a newly created district carved out of Baramulla

district in the year 2007 with Bandipora town as its district headquarter.

The district is spread over a geographical area of 398 Sq Kms having

a population of 3.16 lacs. The District is divided into three tehsils

namely, Bandipora, Gurez and Sonawari comprises of four

developmental blocks viz, Bandipora , Gurez, Sumbal and Hajin. The

blocks are spread over 184 villages and 3 main towns namely, Bandipora,

Sumbal and Hajin. Around 70% population of the district resides in rural

areas. The District on one hand is known for its beautiful landscape and

place of tourist attraction and on other hand the maximum population

70% resides in the rural areas of the districts and are either located on the

hills or at the foot hills of the district. So, as far as natural climate and the

location of the rural people is concerned Sericulture can prove a

flourishing industry in future. Presently there are 545 members of

farmers in the district who are conducting silkworm rearing for

production of silk cocoons. During the current year these farmers

have produced 0.22 lacs Kgs of cocoons and as such the farmers have

earned an amount of Rs 14.66 lacs as subsidiary income for a period

of 25 to 28 days. Department of sericulture is providing a number of

facilities to rearers of the district viz , supply of mulberry plants to be

planted by the farmers, providing of CGI sheets as facility for

construction of rearing sheds, rearing kits to these farmers for

conducting of silkworm rearing on latest technology basis. In

addition the department of sericulture is providing incentives to the

farmers for plantation of the mulberry plants in the form of clusters

@ Rs 8.66 per plant.

MULBERY TYPES

Goshoromi

Ishnosh

White china

Goshoromi (First Class Grade A): Goshoromi is costly than other

Mulberry types. The leaves are bigger in size and very much feedable for

silkworms. People give their highest priority to these leaves because they

are highly hygienic for the silkworms.

Ishnosh: Second type of a mulberry class. They are present in huge

quantities in Kashmir valley. They are not as costly as Goshoromi. The

silk worms that feed on these leaves are found in abundance in Kashmir

valley.

Whitechina: The third type of Mulberry present is white china.This is

also very beneficial though it’s not so costly as Goshoromi and ishtosh.

The other types of mulberry are:

Kakso , lemon china , T.R -10 and Dwraf.

REASI

Reasi is one of the oldest towns of the Jammu and Kashmir State situated.

It was the seat of the erstwhile Bhimgarh State, said to have been

established by Raja Bhim Dev somewhere in the 8th century. It remained

an independent principality till 1822, when Maharaja ,Gulab Singh the

then King of Jammu consolidated the small states up until 1948 Reasi

was a District of Jammu Province, but in the first administrative

reorganization of the State undertaken in 1948 the major part of the then

district Reasi was merged with district Udhampur, while some areas

became part of District Poonch (now Rajouri).The district is divided

into two tehsils name Gulabgarh and Reasi and comprises of four

developmental blocks viz Mahore, Pouni. Reasi sub division has a

population of 1, 20,380 as per 2001 census. Climatically a major part of

this sub-Division falls in sub-tropical zone and the rest in temperate zone.

Summers are generally warm and winters cold with snowfall on the high

ridges. One of the most beautiful thing about Reasi is that in summer the

temperature of reasi will be less than most of the districts in Jammu and

in winter its temperature will be higher than other districts in Jammu so

this makes reasi favorable for all kinds of people visiting there.

Conclusion:

The state of Jammu & Kashmir has a great potential to produce No.1

Bivolitine silk & silk products. The silk products ofthe state is considered

to be of the international standard.

The present study is focused on two districts viz; Reasi and

Bandipore The study reveals that there is a vast scope for the sericulture

activity in Government as well as in public sector with an estimated area

of 17384 and 2618.7 hectares of land suitable for mulberry cultivation in

Reasi and Bandipore districts respectively. With the use of this latest

technology on the basis of above interferences new areas can be brought

under mulberry cultivation and there is urgent need to introduce latest

technology in this field to increase the quantitative as well as qualitative

productivity. Above all it is proposed that the govt. should give incentives

to all involved in this industry for growing raw material upto finishing

products level.

The same study should be carried in all the districts of the state so

that the potential area is mapped and can be brought under this activity

which will generate income, employment, improve rural economy and

help in maintenance of biological diversity by conservation of forests and

agricultural eco-system. With tremendous scope of converting byproducts

of various sericultural activities into industrial and market oriented

material which will in turn generate higher income besides bringing down

the cost of silk. This could be possible only when the Department of

Sericulture and Central Silk Board is provided with the defined potential

areas for further activity using Remote Sensing and GIS technology.
