“…In turn, it has been reported that at the end of fruit growth, the rigidity of the peel increases, which the authors suggested as a result of greater lignification and degradation of pectin (Saei et al, 2014). Singh et al (1993) hypothesized that foliar nutrient sprays increase the elasticity and permeability of the fruit peel cell wall by decreasing pomegranate peel cracking. On the other hand, for Mg/(K+Ca) in a range of 0.08 mEq 100 g -1 indicates deficiency, 0.13-0.19 mEq 100 g -1 is considered as the optimal range with a mean of 0.16 mEq 100 g -1 of sufficiency and higher than 0.31 mEq 100 g -1 as excess, while Mancera-López (2005) reports a range of 0.13-0.19 mEq 100 g -1 both in peduncles and in apple peel and pulp, data that are similar to those obtained by the IDD for pomegranate leaves.…”

The foliar analysis is a useful tool to detect the nutritional status of plants, predict future problems in the reproductive cycles of fruit production and implement preventive and corrective measures to achieve a mineral balance in fruit trees, obtaining higher productivity. There is little information available on nutrient sufficiency ranges in pomegranate leaf and the literature reported differs due to diverse cultivation practices, cultivars, and agroecological conditions. Therefore, the objective of this work was to determine the mineral content of ‘Wonderful’ pomegranate leaves for each the nutritional elements and the cation balance, and to establish the nutritional standards using Integrated Differential Diagnosis (IDD). The mineral content of the pomegranate leaves was determined and based on the results, nutritional standards for macro elements, cation balance and microelements were generated through the IDD, which evaluate whether there are mineral and/or physiological imbalances. The macro elements in the cultivation of the pomegranate were the following: NO3 3747.5 µg g-1, Total Nitrogen 1.35%, P 0.14%, K 0.88%, Ca 1.65%, Mg 0.19%, Na 0.006%. For the cation balance, the optimal values were: (Ca+Mg)/K 4.48 mEq 100 g-1, Ca/(K+Mg) 2.13 mEq 100 g-1, Mg/(K+Ca) 0.16 mEq 100 g-1, Ca/Mg 5.06 mEq 100 g-1, K/Mg 1.36 mEq 100 g-1. Finally, the optimal values for the microelements were: Fe 59.5 µg g-1, Mn 31.4 µg g-1, Zn 6.3 µg g-1, Cu 6.1 µg g-1. The values obtained for the micro and macro elements were like those reported. In the case of cation balance and foliar nitrate content, they have not been previously reported. The IDD is a promising and effective auxiliary tool to characterize the nutritional status of pomegranate trees and, in turn, an alternative to conventional methods of nutritional diagnosis with the advantage of establishing a nutritional deficiency (soil-plant relationship) or a physiological imbalance (relation plant - climate) for this crop.

“…Generally 15-20 cm length of shoots with pencil size thickness is most practicing by the nursery man. But the capability of rooting, sprouting percentage varies from cultivar to cultivar, location to location, season to season and age of the mother plant shoots (Singh et al, 2017). There has been several experiment carried out by various researchers to optimized the size of cutting, season of propagation, types and amount of growth regulators etc.…”

Pomegranate can be propagated by seed, air layering, grafting, shoot cuttings and tissue culture. Seed propagation is used to raise the rootstocks that can be utilized for germplasm conservation and rootstocks breeding purpose. Vegetative propagation methods are used to multiply selected genotypes that bring similar character in form of clones having similar characters to mother plant. Vegetative propagation techniques (hard wood cutting, layering) are practices to raise the saplings for commercial production in pomegranate, because it perpetuates all characteristics of each cultivar. There are various propagation techniques are available, and the refinement of those techniques are also been done in large. However, recent time the suitable propagation method especially grafting and tissue culture techniques could be useful to utilise the resistant root stocks and multiply resistant in the sapling. Although there is diversity in propagation methods and new technologies are also being experimented. Moreover, obtaining healthy and quality seedlings is still one of the main constants for commercial pomegranate growers. Use of resistant cultivars and pathogen-free substrates should be prioritized due to susceptibility of pomegranate to wilt and nematodes. Therefore, the aim of this review is to gather the data referring to advances in researchin different propagation methods that can be used to propagate pomegranate and summarize the progress obtained in recent years.

“…In India, it's found in the outer Himalayan region, particularly in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand. Acknowledging its nutritional value, the industrialization of wild pomegranate is crucial for cost-effective bioactive components [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. This unique fruit, rich in anthocyanins and flavonoids, not only offers antioxidant benefits but also exhibits diverse colors.…”

Sustainably harvesting and selling wild fruits can offer rural communities an economical source of income while concurrently safeguarding ecosystems. This study aims for the global promotion of wild edible fruits (WEFs) in the rural areas of Sunni Nagar Panchayat, located in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. This study primarily focuses on comprehensively documenting the utilization of wild edible fruits by local inhabitants through a structured survey and in-depth interviews. Employing a multistage random sampling technique, five villages—Ambari, Kadog, Kamla dugri, Kalwi, and Basantpur—were chosen based on the prevalence of Punica granatum and Syzygium cumini. This research underscores the economic advantages of collecting WEFs for rural communities, providing them with affordable and easily accessible food sources. Additionally, it promotes public awareness, community-based management, and research on indigenous fruits to diversify diets and contribute to the overall well-being of these communities. Pomegranate and Jamun (local names referring to the botanical species of Punica granatum and Syzygium cumini, respectively) trees play crucial roles in ecological conservation by offering habitat, shelter, and promoting biodiversity, while also combating soil erosion. However, escalating threats such as population growth, forest fires, urbanization, and timber extraction endanger this rich biodiversity. To counter plant extinction risks, a strategic approach to forest conservation is imperative, emphasizing sustainable collection and trade of underutilized species beneficial for food, medicine, and income. Climate change poses challenges to pomegranate production, impacting orchards with temperature fluctuations, altered precipitation, extreme weather, and pests. Adaptation measures, including irrigation, pest management, and diversification, are crucial. Preserving wild pomegranate and Jamun demands habitat protection, restoration, and sustainable agriculture through agroforestry research, community engagement, and supportive policies. Integrating traditional knowledge with modern conservation ensures a comprehensive approach, actively preserving genetic diversity, ecological balance, and cultural relevance through multi-dimensional conservation efforts for Pomegranate and Jamun.
