Kashmir has been cool with the rest of the country at this time, but still the farmers here are in tension. The reason is the dry winter in the valley this time. In January and February, there is a decline in rainfall by 80 percent. Also, snowfall in Kashmir has also been significantly reduced and now its side effects. When the winter is like this, farmers are tense about the summer. At the same time.
Schwast prepared a plan
From seed distribution to crop calendar, Schwast has made its place in its action plan. Experts have already warned that a drought -like situation will arise in the summer. He stressed that it has a serious impact on areas such as irrigation agriculture such as rice, park, hydroelectric projects and drinking water supply. At the same time, there is a fire in the woods and some such incidents have already been revealed.
Scientists have made a simple crop scheme
In view of the situation, the Schwast researchers are preparing with seeds and favorable strategies for farmers. Asif Basheer Shikari, Head of National Seed Project in Skuwast, said that Kashmir has been facing an irregular atmosphere for the past few years. This year, the last winter was in an indefinite state without winter snowfall. He said the Schwast ‘General Crop Scheme’ was prepared under the leadership of Vice Chancellor Nazir Gaini in view of the drought.

Schwast will work in both fields
Asif Basheer said that in view of weather fluctuations, the action plan is working in both sectors. First, on the help of logistics, it is beneficial for drought -like conditions and helps farmers and the second plan has agricultural advisory services. The availability of seeds in agricultural input, especially drought, is important, where the proper seed material is preferred. Bashir said, ‘We need 1.5 lakh quintal seeds annually and the farmers rely on certified seeds. To meet this demand, the university produces at least 100 quintals of seeds of agricultural and vegetable crops.

Special types of maize advice
In a drought -like situation, the scientist insisted that he and his fellow rice should be recommended to use other crops. For this purpose, the availability of pulses and pulses for farmers, such as maize varieties and hybrids such as SMC-8 and SMH-5, is increased. These are more simple crops for dry conditions, he said. Most importantly, pulses require less water and they can give the right yield with less damage.
