    in 1999 and is now at 40,000 hectares.

    11) Productivity has increased from 13.0 quintal per hectare to 15.0 quintal per

    hectare

    12) Statistics shows consistent rise in area @ 10% annually under vegetables

    13) More than 10 quintals quality seed of 15 different vegetables produced and

    made available to famers through this project.

    14) Many vegetable growers have been exposed to latest technologies of quality

    vegetable cultivation and seed production through 6 numbers of trainings, 2

    numbers of vegetable day and several radio and TV talks, more than 300 of them

    are in registered roll of the project.

    15) Free consultancy to vegetable growers of Jammu region.

    3. Introduction

    The project, Seed Production of Hybrids and Open Pollinated Varieties of

    Vegetables under Mid Hill Conditions of Jammu Region, was started in November,

    2007 in the Division of Vegetable Sciences and Floriculture, SKUAST- Jammu, Main

    Campus Chatha with main focus on standardization of protocol for quality seed

    production of major vegetables of Jammu region. The project is sponsored by ICAR

    under the Horticulture Technology Mini Mission- I. The mandate of the project is to find

    out superior open pollinated/ hybrid varieties of vegetables commonly grown in Jammu

    increasing and at present touching 0.9 crore annually so there is conducive environment

    for marketing of vegetables in Jammu. Moreover less production and more demand

    attracts import to the tune of 1.90 lakhs tons per annum. Jammu being, popular tourist

    destination, offers scope for market of premium priced value added products

    including the organic vegetables. Hence to fulfill local demand and to enhance Export

    Avenue, a steep rise in productivity level and area expansion is required in combination

    with qualitative improvement. Advent of hybrids in vegetable crops has led to a

    meteoritic rise in vegetable production and productivity and has assured better return in

    many ways, such as increased yield, better quality, and uniformity in shape, size and

    colour, early maturity, good keeping quality, tolerant/resistant to biotic and abiotic

    stresses resulting in very high returns. Thus, identification of varieties/hybrids and

    production of elite hybrids seed and their popularization among the vegetable growers

    will have greater impact on productivity and economy of the region. Promotion of hybrid

    cultivation will contribute significantly to productivity and may motivate farmers to bring

    more area under open pollinated / hybrid varieties.

    Contribution of Jammu region towards vegetable seed production is

    negligible. In the recent past, there was hardly any farmer in the Jammu region involved

    in vegetable seed production. Though the problem of quality seed continue dwindle the

    benefits of vegetable growers in this region. Farmers of Jammu region faces many

    problem in procuring quality seed of the vegetables thereby lags behind in the vegetable

    IV. To popularize the cultivation of high yielding varieties and hybrids through

    periodical trainings and distribution of high quality seed and seedlings

    among the farmers.

    The project focuses on the major vegetables namely, tomato, chilli,

    cauliflower, broccoli, knol khol, bottle gourd, bitter gourd, cucumber, spinach, methi,

    coriander, okra, pea

    Tomato

    To study the performance of different hybrids of tomato for their yield &

    quality traits, a trial involving 7 hybrids and a standard check DVRT-2 was conducted in

    Randomized Block Design with three replications. Maximum yield was obtained in

    Champion (567.39q/ha), which was statistically superior to all other hybrids and standard

    check DVRT-2 (456.00 q/ha). Highest TSS (%) was observed in BSS 422 (5.0%), which

    was statistically at par with superior to check (5.0%). So we can recommend Championhybrid with high yield and average quality for the growers of Jammu region.

    during the month of January, 2008 and 2009 in an area of one kanal. All the

    recommended cultural practices were followed so as to get a healthy crop.. Fruits

    of Punjab Komal variety were light green in colour, globular with slight neck in

    shape, giving an appearance of latoo. Fruits had average weight of 950g. Yield

    potential of this variety was reported to be 180 Q/ha.

    7. Identification of parental lines for hybrids

    Tomato

    Research work on identification of high yielding and heat tolerant parental

    lines was started in the year 2007-2008, both high yielding and heat tolerant tomato lines

    has been identified but the hybridization was not successful due to prevalence of high

    temperature during May and June which matches with flowering stage of the crop.

    Cucumber

    Research work on identification of early and high yielding and parental

    lines was started in the year 2007-2008. Local selections viz., CC-01 and CC-02 were

    identified as prolific bearer and they were also reported to good combiners (table 7).

    Hybridization of CC-01 and CC-02 is being performed since then and seeds and

    seedlings of the hybrid is being distributed among the farmers of Jammu region.

    at the time of seed production, so as to maintain the quality and purity of the seed

    produced. The fruits were harvested when they turn red in colour, they were then sun

    dried for 10-15 days and then threshed manually, so as to obtain seeds.

    in this training about 60 farmers participated

    Impact of the training:

    In the training about 60 farmers participated. Major impact of the training was

    that farmers were convinced about the use of quality seed and they purchased seeds and

    seedlings of knol khol, broccoli and other summer and winter vegetables from the

    Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, SKUAST-J.

    II. Quality Seed production of vegetables:

    The training was conducted at village Gajansoo block Marh on 25 th September, 2009. Since

    Marh block of Jammu region is prominent vegetable grower, so the venue of the training

    was again the same. The objectives of the training as follows:

    a) To disseminate the technology for quality seed production of cole crops, cucurbits and

    solanaceous vegetables.

    b) To make people aware about the benefits of use of quality seeds

    c) To impart knowledge of nursery raising technology to the farmers

    in this training about 85 farmers participated

    Impact of the training:

    Many of the farmers are saving quality seed of vegetable by adopting

    recommended seed production technology. Farmers were convinced to raise nursery of

    solanaceous and cole crops on the raised beds and cucurbit nursery in the polybags. Many

    of the farmers are now saving quality seed of vegetable by adopting recommended seed

    raining technology among farmers. About 120 farmers participated in this one day

    training programme.

    Impact of the training:

    Many of the farmers have started vegetable seed production to meet their

    demands at their own. Farmers were convinced to raise nursery of solanaceous and cole

    crops on the raised beds and cucurbit nursery in the poly bags. So many farmers have

    adopted nursery raising as a new enterprise and they are earning a lot of benefit from the

    same. Many of the farmers have registered themselves in the farmers directory of the

    project and are in direct contact with the project staff for their needs and demands of the

    project.

    1Evaluation of varieties and hybrids for yield and quality

    2. Identification of superior quality high yielding

    varieties and hybrids.

    3. Demonstration of hybrids at Chatha/farmers field.

    4. Production of breeder seed of 1kg each of tomato, knol

    khol and cucumber and 50kg of pea

    The project was started in the month of November 2007 with the sanctioning of

    budget.Four main crops allotted to the project i.e. cucumber, tomato, knol khol and

    vegetable pea.

    Tomato: Twelve hybrids developed by private companies were evaluated inRandomized Block Design with three replications. Maximum yield was obtained

    in Century hybrid (876.18q/ha) and was 106.16% superior to check DVRT-2 interms of yield.

    Cucumber: Eight hybrids developed by private companies were evaluation in

    Randomized Block Design with three replications. Outstanding yield potential of329.88q/ha was obtained from NS-404. This was statistically superior to check

    Malini, which the most popular hybrid among farmers of Jammu region.Knol khol: Seven varieties obtained from public sectors were evaluated for their

    yield performance in RBD with 2 replications. Maximum yield was obtained inG-40 i.e 372q/hand it was statistically at par with KS-2 (347q/ha)

    Pea: Fourteen varieties have been grown in Randomized Block Design for their

    evaluation with the purpose of identification of high yielding varieties of Jammuregion. The variety VL-8 surpassed all other varieties under study with respect to

    yield, with an yield potential of 350.30 kg/ha.

    Depending upon the results obtained from different experiments laid on the crops

    under study, it was found that Century hybrid of tomato, NS-404 hybrid ofcucumber, G-40 variety of knol khol and VL-8 variety of Pea were identified for

    the farmers of Jammu region.

    CPS-05-06 variety of pea, Summer Green variety of cucumber, DVRT-2 variety

    of tomato and G-40 variety of knol khol were planted in an area of one kanal eachfor demonstration purpose.

    Pea: For the seed production of pea the target is 50 kg of breeder seed. The crop

    was sown in an area of one kanal and 40 kg seed of different varieties of pea viz;CPS-05-06, P-89, VL-8, AP-1 and Arkel was produced. The shortfall in the

    achievement of the target was due to heavy squirrel and bird attack in the field.Tomato: The high yielding variety DVRT-2 was bulk multiplied in an area of

    one kanal to achieve the target and 2Kg seed of the same was obtained.

    Cucumber: The popular variety Summer local was planted in an area of one

    kanal to produce 1kg breeder seed. This resulted in 1.57 kg seed production. Sowe exceeded in the target by 500g.Knol khol: To meet the target of 10 kg seed, the two varieties viz; G-40 and P-40

    were lanted in an area of 200 s uare meters. We were able to roduce 14.75 K
