Agrobiodiversity Conservation in Great Himalayan National Park

When a species or cultivar is lost, traditional knowledge fades, disrupting agro-ecosystems, farm sustainability, and food security. Great Himalayan National Park harbors a variety of traditional crops and cultivars like millets, pulses, beans, barley, pea, common buckwheat, maize, wheat, potato, horse gram, and soybean. Preserving traditional cultivars offers benefits such as superior traits over high-yielding varieties and adaptation to local conditions, enhancing crop resilience and nutritional value. To promote conservation, technical interventions and on-farm training are essential for farmers to ensure sustainable agriculture practices. For quality control and marketing of organic grains and legumes, various agronomic inputs and business models are implemented.

  9. Traditional cultivars have superior traits vis-a-via HYVs: in terms of yield, survival in harsh geo-climatic conditions at high altitudes, resistance to water stress/pathogens, total time of crop cycle, adaptation to local climates & farmers’ socio-economic situations, nutrition value, input-requirements, weed coexistence, etc.

  11. Technical interventions : •  Formation of Farmers’ Committees at gram panchayat level • Promotion of exchange of seeds of traditional cultivars • On-farm Training & Counseling of farmers on Organic Production of traditional crops • Exposure of farmers to organic farming site • On-farm Training of farmers on Quality Control and Post-Harvest Storage • Providing on-field technical inputs of organic cultivation, such as - • - manipulations in humus levels according to soil types • - testing of nutrients in the soil and balancing them • - planning the crop rotation and crop cycle • - assistance in planning intercropping, storey culture and cover crops • - use of compost, manure and bio-fertilizers • - compost making and vermicompost • - water harvesting and soil conservation • - treatment, storage and selection of seeds of traditional cultivars • - biological weed control, and bio-pesticides • - other necessary technical inputs
