Seed Bank of Jammu,Kashmir and Ladakh

Seed Banks in India

The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Center is constructing a special depot at Glacier Cave in Pahalgam to preserve the seeds of all crops around the world.

The thousands of seeds stored on this glacier will be used by the bank in the event of a catastrophic disaster or nuclear war in the world and crop damage.
The cave was built to protect the seeds stored in the event of a nuclear war or natural disaster.

The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Center will set up an observatory in a cave on this glacier gene to create a 'seed bank'. In this regard, the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Plants Introduction Center has also decided to send a proposal to the Government of Jammu and Kashmir.

Sheikh Gulzar, a volunteer at the institute, said the seeds of all the world's crops would be kept in the cave.

Sheikh Gulzar said that there are 1,400 such seed banks in the world at present but they are all located in places where there is either political instability or in places where there is a risk of natural disasters. ۔

The temperature of the plugs will help keep these seeds safe. The walls of the bank will be made of lightweight concrete and its doors will be made of special iron sheets.

ABOUT OUR SEEDS
The Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre-JKMPIC specialises in seeds and plants that are the backbone of organic and permaculture systems. These include a wide range of open-pollinated, heirloom medicinal, fruit, herbal, vegetable seeds, rare edibles, living mulches, green manures and insectary plants for beneficial insects.
 
SEED QUALITY
We specialise in high quality seed with a guaranteed viability and purity and so we appreciate very much when gardeners let us if know they have an occasional problem with seed germination. This allows us to further improve our growing information and triggers additional germination testing to pinpoint any problems. Germination testing is carried out on a regular basis to check that the viability of seed is being maintained throughout the year.
 
OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS/Non-hybrid
Our seeds are nearly all open-pollinated and so are able to be grown again from seed you save yourself. Open-pollinated seeds are genetically diverse treasures that have been passed on from generation to generation. When you buy and plant open-pollinated seeds you are helping to protect this valuable resource for the future.
 
SEED SAVING
Saving open-pollinated (OP) seeds protects our global food heritage.Growing open pollinated seeds and saving some for next year's crop is a practical and economical option for home gardeners.
 
HEIRLOOM SEEDS
Most of our open-pollinated seeds are also considered heirloom or heritage seed. These are herb, flower and vegetable varieties that were bred and handed down by generations of gardeners and farmers. These varieties have stood the test of time, gardeners have saved them year after year because they were recognised for their superior qualities such as great flavour, good yield or disease resistance.

Sambucusnigra is a species complex of flowering plants in the family Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle Family) native to most of Europe and North America. Common names include elder, elderberry, black elder, European elder, European elderberry, and European black elderberry.  It grows in a variety of conditions including both wet and dry fertile soils, primarily in sunny locations. The plant is a very common feature of hedgerows and scrubland in Britain and northern Europe, but is also widely grown as an ornamental shrub or small tree. Both the flowers and the berries have a long tradition of culinary use, primarily for cordial and wine.The Latin specific epithet nigra means "black", and refers to the deeply dark colour of the berries.
 
Although elderberry is commonly used in dietary supplements and traditional medicine, there is no scientific evidence that it provides any benefit for maintaining health or treating diseases.
