Kashmir is cool compared to the rest of the country at this time, but still the farmers here are tense at this time. The reason is the dry winter in the valley at this time. In January and February, the rainfall declined by about 80 percent. Also, the snowfall has declined significantly in Kashmir, and now its side effects are seen. One thing is that when the winter was like this, farmers would be nervous about the summer. At the same time, Sher-e-Kashmir has taken a plan to deal with the circumstances of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, ie, in the coming summer.
Squest prepared a project
From seed distribution to the crop calendar, Squar has provided a place in his action plan. Experts have already warned that the drought -like situation may arise in the summer. He also stressed that this would have a serious impact on areas such as paddy, horticulture, water power projects and irrigation agriculture. At the same time, there is a fire in the forest, and some such incidents have already emerged.

Considering the weather fluctuations, Asif said that the action plan operates on two ends. First, drought -like conditions are beneficial and helps farmers and the second plan includes agricultural advice services. The availability of seeds in agricultural input is the most important, especially in drought -stricken conditions, the right sowing material is a preference. Bashir said, “We need 1.5 lakhs of Quintal seeds annually, farmers rely on certified seeds. To meet this requirement, the university produces at least 100 quintal farm and vegetable crops.

Maize
In the case of drought, the scientist stressed that he and his colleagues should recommend consuming other crops other than rice. For this purpose, farmers are given the availability of drought -rich crops and pulses such as maize varieties and hybrids such as SMC -8 and SMH -5. He says that these are the most flexible crops for dry conditions. In particular, pulses require low water, but they can give proper yield with low damage.
