Willows of Kashmir and their Significance
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Data of survey conducted of all the 04 districts of Kashmir on status and distribution of Willow plantation was carried out. Willow grows throughout valley, although its concentration varied from place to place. The willow plantation was found in wetlands as well as those pockets where chance of flood were prevalent, like around Ningli range, Haranshalbugh and other wetlands, farmers cultivated these plantations in paddy lands where frequent irrigation was available. Besides it was found on the boundaries of fruit orchard as (Silvi-Horti system) and on the bunds of paddy fields, so it clearly indicates that willow plantation has higher profitability such as (Wicker willow, cricket bat willow) than rice cultivation. The farmers also grew such cutting a soil binding agents on the bunds of paddy fields which suggest that such cultivation can be used in agro forest system. The construction of processing units is found maximum in district Srinagar at Haran, Shalbugh and Sehpura followed by Baramullah at Ghat and Alasafor (mostly for Kangri work). The maximum cultivation of Wicker willow in district Srinagar is due to the reason that farmers are well versed with the cultivation of Wicker willow due to the suitability of land and better avenues for marketing of Wicker willow production. Willow in Kashmir valley needs proper Information with subject to cultivation. Fertilizer, doses, pesticides, introduction of new hybrid clones and processing units.
