Branker (Adhatoda vasica) is important shrub in Kandi areas of Jammu region. It is used for two purposes first is used for medicine and second is used for traditional purpose. Branker plants are use to cure different diseases such as asthma, skin disease, chronic, bronchitis, cough, cold and tuberculosis. Branker leaves, bark, the ischolar_main bark, the fruit and flowers are useful in the removal of intestinal parasites. In the traditional purposes are used as traditional wisdom, food, mulching, cleaning teeth, fruit ripening, roofing of kaccha houses, cattle sheds, fuels and control soil erosion.- Jackfruit is a Profitable Fruit Crop in Jammu Subtropics

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), belong to family moraceae is a common and popular fruit crop of the low land tropics of eastern and southern parts of India. It is indigenous to India, commonly grown in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Brazil, Jamaica, Mynamar, Singapore. In India; it grows in Assam, West Bengal, Tripura, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh Western Ghats and some parts of the Jammu and Kashmir. Due to shifting of the human population from one part to another part of the country now a day the demand of jack fruit is increasing day by day for vegetable purpose. Hence the orchards of jackfruit will be profitable for farming community of Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts for uplifting the livelihood security.

Aerobic rice cultivation provides feasible alternative to traditional rice production in these regions, allowing significant water savings. Field experiments were conducted at the ANGR University Agricultural Research Station, India during 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 to compare crop growth, yield, and water savings under aerobic rice.Aerobic rice is a production system in which rice is direct seeded and grown in non-puddled and non-flooded aerobic soils. Aerobic rice varieties need to be developed to cope with the increasing water scarcity in tropical Asia. Advanced breeding lines were evaluated in 24 yield trials under both non-stressed and stressed aerobic soil conditions in 4 yr (2005–2008) to assess the efficacy of the two-stress-level screening protocol and selection strategies for developing aerobic rice.Cultivation of suitable high yielding rice varieties in direct sown, non-puddle, aerated soils under supplementary irrigation and fertilizers to achieve high yield.Aerobic rice crop does not require continues flooding. It can be irrigated like direct sown crops like maize, jowar and bajra. Irrigation can be provided with interval of 4-5 days and time of irrigation can be adjusted based on the soil type and moisture availability.

Effective use of land and water is fundamental to growth and sustainable development. The concept of watershed management has evolved to ensure effective use of both natural and social capitals. Thus, the watershed development programmes include land, water, and human resources as essential components. The watershed programme is primarily a land-based programme, which is increasingly being focused on water, with its main objective being to enhance agricultural productivity through increased in situ moisture conservation and protective irrigation for socio-economic development of rural people. It has been essential in a country like India where the majority of the population depends on agriculture and about 60 per cent of the total arable land (142 million ha) in the country is rain-fed. A large portion of the rain-fed areas (65% of arable land) in India is characterized by low productivity, high risk, and uncertainty, low level of technological change and vulnerability to degradation of natural resources. Over the years, the sustainable use of land and water has received wider attention among policy makers, administrators, scientists, and researchers.References

The watercourse Ganga, coming out from the Himalayas through five states and stream drain into the Bay of Bengal through Sundarbans delta that pass through of more than 2500 km in the northern and eastern plains of India, possesses economic, social and cultural values and as one of the holiest rivers whose cultural and spiritual virtue rise above the boundaries of the basin. The mainstream of Ganga extends from Nepal, India and Bangladesh which accounts for 26% of the land, 30% of water and 43% of the population of India (Fig. 1).- Health Benefits of Red Flush Guava
