Walnut Production Status in Pakistan

Abstract

In Pakistan almost 226 indigenous walnuts (Juglans regia L.) growing in Northern region KPK province including Malakand division (districts of Swat, Dir, Bunir, Chitral, Shangla and Malakand Agency), Kaghan (district Mansehra), in Gilgit–Baltistan province have a number of walnut clusters, and Leepa in Neelum valley and Muffazarabad in Azad Jammu & Kashmir. According to country report of FAO for Pakistan, walnut is native fruit tree. The introduced exotic cultivars are Chandler, Hartley, Lam, Germisara, lupanesti, Valerie, Odum, Sere and Sulemani. There are also local selections viz. MS–1, MS–2, MS–18 from Malakand, SW–1, SW–3′ from Swat, Dir–2 and Chitral–I, Chitral–2, Chitral–3, Kurram–1, Kurram–2, Kurram–3, Kurram–4. The production of walnut is continually reducing over the period of time. Therefore, training of scientific manpower, breeding of high yielding cultivars, and dissemination of cultural practices to farmer community is important in order to enhance production area and yield.
