Kashmir's New Green Revolution: Cultivating Goji Berries for Health and Profit

Goji berries are not widely cultivated in India , but there has been some interest in growing them in these regions due to their potential health benefits and high market value. 

Here's what you need to know about cultivating goji berries in these areas:
Climate and Soil Requirements
Goji berries thrive in a temperate climate. They prefer a sunny environment with well-drained soil. Kashmir’s cooler climate might be suitable for goji berries, but it would be important to select the right variety and manage the microclimate to avoid frost damage, which can be a risk in colder months.
Soil: They prefer well-drained, sandy loam soils with a pH between 6.8 and 8.1. It’s crucial to ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Cultivation Practices
Propagation: Goji berries can be propagated from seeds, cuttings, or through grafting. In regions like Kashmir, starting with healthy seedlings or cuttings might be more reliable.
The plants should be spaced adequately to allow for their spreading growth habit. They typically require full sun to thrive.
While goji berries are somewhat drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is needed during the growing season. However, overwatering should be avoided.
They benefit from balanced fertilizers that provide essential nutrients. Organic compost can also be beneficial.
Goji berries are relatively pest-resistant, but it's important to watch for common issues like aphids or fungal diseases.
