SKUAST-K Vice Chancellor Calls for Stronger Plant Health Intelligence at NIPHM Conference in Hyderabad; Visits ICRISAT for Strategic Collaboration Srinagar: On the first day of the National Conference on “Innovations in Plant Health Management for Resilient Agriculture and Agri-Export Promotion,” being organized by the National Institute of Plant Health Management (NIPHM) from 26-28 February 2026, the Vice Chancellor of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K), Professor Nazir Ahmad Ganai, delivered the keynote address. In his address, he emphasized the need to transition from reactive pest control approaches to predictive, intelligence-driven plant health governance. In his address, he called for strengthening and fully operationalizing the National Integrated Plant Health Intelligence Mission (NIPHIM) and emphasized the urgent need to transition from reactive pest control approaches to predictive, intelligence-driven plant health governance. Highlighting India’s agricultural scale, Prof. Ganai noted that the country produces over 330 million tonnes of food grains annually, while horticulture output has recently surpassed food grain production, reaching around 369 million tonnes. Despite these achievements, he cautioned that pests and diseases continue to cause substantial crop losses. Referring to globally accepted scientific estimates that 20-40 per cent of crops are lost annually to biological stresses, he observed that even conservative domestic estimates translate into significant economic and ecological costs in terms of lost produce, wasted irrigation water, fertilizers, energy, and farmer effort. The Vice Chancellor pointed out that the biological risk landscape is rapidly evolving due to climate variability, global trade, and increasing pest resistance. India has witnessed the spread of invasive and emerging pests such as the Fall Armyworm in maize-growing regions, the Tomato leaf miner in vegetable crops, periodic incursions of the Desert locust in western India, and the Apple blotch leaf miner in temperate horticulture belts. These developments, he said, demonstrate that pest threats are becoming

Bharat is on a mission to become Aatmanirbhar in pulses. The Union Cabinet has approved the Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses with a massive ₹11,440 crore outlay to eliminate import dependence by 2030–31. Minister: Shri Bhagirath Choudhary Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Key Highlights: 🔹 Strategic Investment: A six-year plan from 2025–26 to 2030–31 supported by a ₹11,440 crore financial outlay. 🔹 Infrastructure Growth: 1,000 processing units (Dal Mills) approved to strengthen post-harvest infrastructure, with 528 units allotted in the first phase. 🔹 Farmer Support: 87.5 lakh free seed kits targeted for distribution over the mission period, with 10.36 lakh kits already allocated for Rabi 2025–26. 🔹 Targeted Focus: 489 districts identified as focus areas for pulses clusters to maximize yield and area expansion. 🔹 Area Expansion: Projected addition of 35 lakh hectares under pulse cultivation, including 10.5 lakh hectares in non-traditional areas. 🔹 Top Participating States: Uttar Pradesh leads with 56 focus districts and 56 processing units, followed by Madhya Pradesh with 55 each. Why Important for Exams: 🔹 Food Security: Understanding the shift from import dependence to domestic self-sufficiency in protein-rich pulses. 🔹 Agricultural Diversification: Role of seed kits and rice-fallow area utilization in boosting farmer income and soil health. 🔹 Centrally Sponsored Schemes: Implementation through coordinated efforts between Central and State governments.

🌱 The Role of the Mind in Plant Pathology In plant pathology, the mind of a scientist plays a crucial role in developing new varieties of crops and trees. Success in creating resilient, high-yield, and disease-resistant varieties comes from: ✔ Deep understanding of plant diseases and pathogens ✔ Analytical thinking and problem-solving ✔ Creativity in breeding and research methods ✔ Careful observation in labs and fields ✔ Application of advanced technology and modern techniques A plant pathologist’s knowledge and innovative thinking turn challenges into solutions, protecting crops and improving productivity. 🌾 In agriculture, the mind of a plant pathologist is as important as the soil and seeds — it shapes the future of food security. 💚 #PlantPathology #CropImprovement #NewVarieties #SmartFarming #AgriInnovation #FarmersFirst #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSecurity
