Crops of Ladakh

Multigrain biscuits were formulated by blending refined wheat flour with barley and buckwheat flours in the ratios of 100:0:0::WF:BF:BWF; 0:100:0::WF:BF:BWF; 80:20:0::WF:BF:BWF; 70:20:10::WF:BF:BWF; 60:20:20::WF:BF:BWF; 0:20:30::WF:BF:BWF; 40:20:40::WF:BF:BWF; 30:20:50::WF:BF:BWF. Incorporation of buckwheat flour led to increase in crude fibre, crude fat, ash, carbohydrate and antioxidant activity of multigrain biscuits, except moisture and crude protein contents where the reverse is true. Among the treatments, the highest mean moisture (4.20 %) mean crude protein (7.

A study indicates that there is increase in area, production and productivity of major food crops in Jammu & Kashmir State of India over the years but the rate of increase has been slow. Jammu region of the State has maximum cropping intensity (176.8%) followed by Kashmir (123%) and Ladakh (106%). The average land holding in the State is very low (0.66 ha) in comparison to National Average (1.68 ha). The unit farm power availability on gross cropped area basis is 0.78 kW contributed 51.2% by animated (human and animal power) sources and 48.8% from rest of the sources.

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is the most important fruit crop of Ladakh district in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and it is grown in the lower belt areas (Takmachik and Lehdo) of Ladakh. Apricot has some comparative benefits and advantages which is the result of different relief. This study reveals the production level (quantity and quality), costs (investment and production costs- divided into material cost and human costs) profit and overall investment.

Cold arid zone of India lies in the high altitude ranges of north-western Himalayas in the northern most latitudes of the country covering Ladakh province of Jammu and Kashmir and Lahul-Spiti Division of Himachal Pradesh. Ladakh and Lahul-Spiti are well known by the name of cold desert region of India where agriculture season is short only for the summer months of April to September. Most of the insecticides tested under in-vivo conditions were found effective against Delia antique (Onion Maggot) which is serious insect of onion, garlic and other bulbous plants in cold arid region Ladakh.

The present investigation entitled “Performance of wild apricot under fertigation practices (Prunus armeniaca L.) in cold arid condition of Ladakh” was carried out at PFDC Farm Leh. The fertigation techniques of water and fertilizers application has provide its superiority, in fruit and vegetable crops, owing to precise and direct application of water in the root zone without wetting the entire area. Fertigation consequences with and without mulch in apricot, one of the most important temperate fruit crops of Ladakh region, have yet not been established.

The precision farming including plasticulture applications has proven its worth in realizing more output per unit of inputs and resources bestowed on to land. As an alternative to raise production and productivity especially to compete global trade and meet out own requirements. Cabbage is grown extensively in summers in Ladakh region and is stored for winters. Due to lack of scientific know how, improved varieties and modern precision farming techniques, crop yield and quality is comparatively low.

Water reservoirs are always characterized for drinking water quality. However, in catchments where arable fields dominate, the impact of agriculture on water pollution is still problematic. In Ladakh, recently the fertilization level has decreased drastically due to detrimental impact on soil conditions, mostly for economic reasons as well as lastly getting more awareness on benefits of organic farming towards maintaining indigenous traditional knowledge/ methodologies.

Subsistence farming of Ladakh region is a production management system also identified as Remarkable land use systems excluding of all synthetic off-farm inputs but rely upon agri-livestock livelihood options best suited for sustainable development involving crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, off-farm organic waste for nutrient mobilization and plant protection, etc which promotes biodiversity and agro-ecosystem health.
