2. DETAILS OF DISTRICT (2014-15)

Kullu district is situated in the Inner Himalayas between 300 51’ 00” North latitude and 770 06’ 04” East

longitude. The altitude of the district ranges from 500 m to 5000 m amsl, but the habitation is only up to 3500 m.

In terms of geographical conditions the district is mountainous cruised by rivers & valleys. The Satluj and Beas

are the principal rivers with many tributaries. The district has been divided into five blocks viz. Naggar, Kullu,

Banjar, Ani and Nirmand. There are 204 Gram Panchayats and 172 revenue villages having many hamlets. Total

population is 4,37,474 as per 2011 census (Male 2,24,320 and Female 2,13,154).

Net cultivated area is 37,263 hectares. 28,539 ha is cultivated more than once thus making the total

cultivated area to 65,802 ha. Only 2905 ha is irrigated which comes to 7.8 per cent of the net cultivated area. Out

of 62,625 total operational holdings 0.02 % (13) are very large, 0.79 % (495) large, 4.84 % (3031) medium, 13.87

% (8686) small and 80.47 % (50,400) marginal.

The district experiences mild summers and severe winter due to snow fall on mountain ranges. December

marks the onset of winter which continues till the end of February, sometimes continuing till the month of March.

The snow and sleet fall in the upper region while rains are confined to the lower areas. From March onwards

weather begins to warm up accelerating growth of rabi (winter) crops. Hailstorms are received sometimes during

April & May causing considerable damage to field crops and fruits. Monsoon begins in the end of June or

beginning of July and recedes by the middle of September. In winter, heavy rainfall in lower belt and snow in

higher belt is received due to western disturbances.

Agro-climatic Zone Characteristics

1 Mid-hill sub-humid zone

The elevation of this zone varies from 651 to 1800m amsl. Soil texture varies from loam to clay loam and soils are deficient in N & P with poor water & nutrient holding capacity. Soils are acidic in reaction. The average rainfall is about 1500mm. In this zone, wheat, paddy, maize, seed potato, pulses and oilseeds are the main crops Stone and citrus fruits occupy considerable area. Forest and pastures are also important in this zone.

2 High-hills temperate wet zone

The elevation of this zone lies above 1800m amsl. The soils are shallow in depth, acidic in reaction, silt loam to loam in texture and deficient in N & P. Terrace farming is practiced. Soil erosion, low fertility and inadequate water management are main problems of this zone. The main crops are wheat, maize, paddy, barley, pulses and oilseeds. Mostly rainfed farming is practiced. The average rainfall is about 1000mm. This zone is suitable for raising off-season vegetable and seed production of temperate vegetable, Apple, other temperate fruits and nuts are important horticultural crops.

3 High-hills temperate dry zone

The elevation of this zone lies above 2501m amsl. The soils are shallow in depth and sandy loam in texture with low fertility. The main crops are barley, wheat, potato, buckwheat, peas, millets, temperate vegetables and dry fruits. The average rainfall is about 1000mm.

5) Production system : Rain fed apple farming

6) Thematic area : IPM in apple



: Performance of different spray schedule showed varying results at

different locations. However, higher yield of marketable fruits and less

incidence of diseases and pests was observed under spray schedule –II.


level situation

: Altitude specific spray schedule need to be studied. Because during two

years of study it was observed that the same chemical at lower altitude is

performing well however at higher altitude it has different response to

control diseases.



: The farmers are not getting recommended brand chemicals.


and their reaction

: Farmers reaction was that “Integrated spray schedule for the

management of foliar diseases and insect pest is beneficial to reduce the

number of spray and save labour”.

6) Thematic area : Disease management



: Results showed that the integrated measures against mite infestation

were more effective to prevent reoccurrence of disease.



: Using acaricides for treatment along with spraying animal environment

with the insecticides is the better protocol for controlling mange

infestation as it prevents re infestation from the environment and leads to

effective prevention of mange infections in animals
