 The  Jammu and Kashmir Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre-JKMPIC,  is a pioneer institution to start cultivation of important indigenous  medicinal plants and introduce many from other parts of the world. A  preliminary study on cultivation of medicinal plants in Jammu and  Kashmir was from this institution. Subsequently lot of work on  cultivation and improvement was done on selected plants by different    scientists and a consolidated account on cultivation and utilization of  these plants was published (Sheikh GULZAAR, 2002 & 2007). Availability of  Seed/Planting material for research purpose only  (The  following seeds  and planting material is available for  distribution/purchase for Research institutions, universities,  associations and NGOs) A                                               B D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T V W Z 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. SEED PACKING Our  seeds are packed in simple plain paper, 90 mm x 145 mm, re-sealable  packets with an inner cliplock plastic bag that is also resealable. Our  intention is to avoid as much as possible glossy paper and full-colour  printing due to its greater environmental impact. The paper packets can  be composted. The inner cliplock bag helps greatly to maintain the  seed's viability as it resists moisture far better than just a paper  packet alone. Each Packet contains 50-100 seeds. GROWING INFORMATION Seed  packets are printed with detailed growing information to help you with  successful seed raising. In addition a free leaflet Successful Seed  Raising Guide is provided with each seed purchase.  SEED TREATMENT Please  be aware that much of the seed retailed in South Asia  is chemically  treated with fungicides. The JK Medicinal Plants Introduction Centre  does not use chemical treatments, our organic solution to weevils is  diatomaceous earth, the grey, powdery coating on some of our seeds.  Sometimes a hot water seed treatment is worthwhile if you have been  having persistent disease problems.
