EARLY TIMES REPORT
BHADERWAH, June 6: With the successful fruiting of Nectarine, an exotic fruit, after three years of preliminary trial at Regional Horticulture Research Sub Station- Bhaderwah, SKUAST-Jammu, has come up with a bright prospect for the progressive horticulturists in J&K state.
SKUAST-Jammu, Regional Horticulture Research Sub Station- Bhaderwah, informs that the newly introduced exotic fruit nectarine can be marketed in National Capital New Delhi where it is priced between Rs 100- 150 per kg.
It adds that right now Himachal Pradesh is marketing this fruit in New Delhi, though; it is not able to meet the demand. This way farmers in J&K state have a lot of scope in the National Capital and in nearby markets.
The Station further notifies that nectarines were first introduced in J&K from Himachal Pradesh at Regional Horticulture Research Sub Station, Bhaderwah, SKUAST- Jammu in the year 2006-07. With the first time fruiting of nectarine here, this Regional Horticulture Research Sub Station of SKUAST-Jammu is all set to spread cultivation technology to interested farmers.
Planting material is also available at this Research Station. Nectarine varieties cultivated and for which planting material available at RHRSS-Bhaderwah, SKUAST-Jammu is Snow Queen, Silver King, Fantasia, Independence, Red Gold and May Fair.
About planting the Station reports that nectarine can be successfully introduced in our state at most of the places with temperate climate.
In Jammu region planting can be done with the onset of spring.
