Involvement in Participatory Technology Development Details of technology packages
Year (s)
- Under HTM (MM-1) 2.13 project on wild 2005-08 pomegranate (anardana) project following technology was developed for anardana growers
Accomplishments - Completed
Sun dried anardana from mature and ripened fruit remained fresh in polybags even after 3 months of storage at room temperature; whereas in dried seeds of immature fruits some larvae were found which deteriorate the quality of anardana. Instead of gunny bags for drying on rooftops, use muslin cloth for hygienic drying.
Small poly tent structures should also be used for septic drying of anardana. Gloves should be used for separating seeds from septa so as to overcome blackening or tanning of hands. Sun drying for 38 hours was found to be best followed by poly tent house sun drying. However, the seeds dried at room temperature showed some fungal growth. 2010 - Heat treatment of peach is helpful to reduce postharvest pathogen attack during storage - Enzymological changes in peach during storage: The peaches stored in polythene 2010 bags of varying perforation coefficient (PC) viz., 0, 251, 565, 1006 mm holes/m2 under refrigerated as well as room temperature conditions showed increased PG activity upto 6 days under room temp., whereas under refrigerated conditions, the activity increased upto 18 days and decreased thereafter. The PG activity decreased under room temperature but increased under refrigerated conditions.

Significant contributions/ Technologies developed and incorporated in Package of Practices for Horticulture Crops of SKUAST-J 2015 Title Rejuvenation of old/senile/unproductive mango orchards
Details of Patent/ Registration/ Commercialization
Year
A rejuvenation technique has been standardized along with the complete calendar of operations to the extent of its commercialization as 30-40 per cent of the mango orchards in Jammu province are old/senile. This technology has been demonstrated successfully on the farmers field in Jammu and Kathua districts of Jammu province (Rejuvenation technology developed for old/senile mango orchards has been incorporated in the Package of practices for Horticulture crops 2015 of SKUAST-J pp 13-15.
2013
Standardization of planting Phalsa cuttings treated with IBA 300 ppm and planted on 30th July showed highest survival percentage with least time taken for rooting. time for phalsa cutting Mulching and Foliar nutrition for qualitative improvement/enhancement in shelf-life of strawberry cv. Chandler
Mulching of strawberry is a beneficial operation in minimizing winter freezing injury to plants, suppressing early spring growth, smothering of weeds, keeping berries clean, conserving soil moisture and reducing berry disease. Planting of strawberry cv. Chandler on 9 th October alongwith black polythene mulch under subtropical conditions of Jammu has been recommended as it resulted in maximum growth, yield, quality and runners. This recommendation has been incorporated in the Package of practices for Horticulture crops 2015 of SKUAST-J pp 140.
2013
2010
For improving the quality and the shelf-life of strawberry cv. 2013 Chandler, it has been recommended that foliar application of 0.6 % FeSO4 sprayed 30 days and 80 days after planting results in maximum vegetative growth whereas 0.6 % ZnSO4 application improve quality of Chandler cv. Strawberry. For enhancing the shelf-life upto 60 hours of Chandler cv. of strawberry, it has been recommended to apply CaCl2 0.6 per cent twice i.e. 30 and 80 days after planting. This recommendation has been incorporated in the Package of practices for Horticulture crops 2015 of SKUAST-J pp 141.
Wedge grafting in guava
Wedge grafting with polytubes in guava has been standardized for its commercialization in vivo and in vitro conditions in Sardar cultivar of guava. Under in vitro conditions (poly house) maximum graft intake success upto 94.88 % can be achieved when wedge grafting is carried out in the winter season by covering the grafts with polytubes and the recommendation has been incorporated in the Package of practices for Horticulture crops 2015 of SKUAST-J pp 35.
2012
Standardization of planting density in guava
Planting distance of 6.0 m x 3.0 m (row to row and plant to plant) accommodating 555 plants per hectare has been standardized and recommended for high density orcharding in guava. The demonstration of this planting density in guava has been successfully demonstrated in the district of Samba and Jammu for its commercialization. This recommendation has been incorporated in the Package of practices for Horticulture crops 2015 of SKUAST-J pp 35.
2012
Standardization of planting density in mango
Planting distance of 4.5 m x 4.5 m (row to row and plant to plant) accommodating 495 plants per hectare has been standardized and recommended for high density orcharding in mango. The demonstration of this planting density in mango has been successfully demonstrated in the district of Samba and Jammu for its commercialization and has been incorporated in SKUAST-J Package of practices 2015 pp. 12.
2012
Standardization of polythene bags for planting of Litchi
The litchi layers treated with IBA 500 ppm in the first week of August and planted in polythene bags of size 22 cm x 10 cm x 8 cm filled with the soil of litchi orchard resulted in 98.29 per cent rooting with survival of 91.45 per cent within 210 days of planting litchi layers. This recommendation has been incorporated in Package of practices of SKUAST-J 2015 pp. 30.
2012
Technology for drying of wild Sun drying for 38 hours is recommended for drying of wild pomegranate (Anardana). Use muslin cloth for hygienic drying instead pomegranate (Anardana) of gunny bags for drying on rooftops. Small poly tent structures can be used for septic drying of anardana. These recommendations are incorporated in package of practices for Horticulture Crops 2015 at pp.
2007
The production technology for over-coming the problem of unfruitfulness in olive has been standardized upto the extent of its commercialization. Following recommendations have been made and suitably added in the package of practices for making the olive culture viable/profitable in Jammu province. Nutrition: i. Nitrogenous fertilizer should be applied in three split doses, viz., immediately after harvest, onset of spring season and in the beginning of rainy season. ii. Apply 200 g borax per tree in alternate years. iii. In drought prone areas, two foliar spray of urea (1.0%) and boric acid (0.4%) should be applied during pre bloom and post bloom, respectively. Irrigation i. In autumn, apply two irrigations immediately after harvest, at an interval of 20 days. ii. Apply two irrigation four weeks prior to expected time of flowering which ensures adequate development of flowers and lower down the flower bud abscission. iii. The tree should be irrigated after two weeks of the peak bloom period as it improves fruit set.
2007
Standardization of production technology in olive
iv. One irrigation should be given a month after fruit set to stimulate development of fruit and reduce fruit drop. Integrated nutrient management in guava
In Sardar cultivar of guava, 50 % nitrogen requirement could be replaced by poultry manure when used with urea augmented with Azotobacter, 25 % nitrogen in the form of FYM integrated with urea augmented with Azotobacter was also found equally effective in increasing the yield, quality and nutrient status of fruit, leaf and soil and the recommendation has been incorporated in the SKUAST-J package of practices for fruit crops.
2006
Technology for postharvest management of Peach
The peaches stored in polythene bags of 1006 mm holes per m2 improved the quality of fruit. Howver, intermittent warming coupled with modified atmospheric storage is effective in preventing chilling injury and prolonging storage life of peach cv. Flordasun. This recommendation is incorporated in package of practices for Horticulture Crops 2015 at pp. 107.
