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.
The medicinal plant garden created, grown and nurtured by JKMPIC around its unit
complex contains Kashmir’s largest privately owned collection of medicinal
plants, spanning over 300 varieties, including rare and endemic medicinal
plants.

The
garden is a treasure teove of herbal remedies that have been used for thousands
of years by our ancestors for healing, health and beauty. All plants in the
garden are carefully conserved for future generations.further, a tissue culture
lab. Established within the medicinal plant garden propagates and distributes
rare medicinal plants as a further conservation effort. The plant research
centre also nestled within the garden carries out advanced plant research into
the medicinal plants in the garden, researching and validating their
traditional uses.

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 and other
materials 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
Jammu and Kashmie 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.
Effective 01/1/2019-2020 Due
to the volatility of shortages in the seed markets, Prices can change on a semi
daily bases. Please place your order we will notify you of higher or lower
prices on your purchase date.
