The average production of apples in Kashmir is a meagre 10 ton per hectare.Compare this yield with global average of approximately 60 tons per hectare, and introduction of newer and more marketable tree types seems like a natural progression and the need of the hour.
The precocious nature of newer types make a lot of sense!
With Agrisense, we offer growers high-density orchard development expertise. These facilities also open the doors of agricultural entrepreneurship to unused-land owners, in turn to add to the GDP of the state economy.
Agrisense is your partner in the first step of food production and prosperity.
Trees
We have chiefly three tree types on offer:
-
- Most dwarfing rootstock used commercially for high density plantations worldwide
- Tree height is 8 – 10 feet
- Fruiting in 3-4 years
- Endures overwhelming soils and is robust
- Requires additional support
- Apples are bigger and develop sooner than a similar scion on another rootstock
-
- Semi-dwarf rootstock, producing a tree about 60% the size of seedling
- Tree of 3m to 4m in height and spread
- Precocious and productive
- Usually, little-to-no tree support needed
- Effective choice for well-drained soils found across Kashmir
-
- Semi-vigorous rootstock
- Trees somewhat larger than MM106, in the range 4m-5m / 14ft - 18ft.
- Known to thrive in both heavy and light soils
- Tolerant to drought as well as damp conditions
- Free-standing fruit tree that does not need support
