The Cultivation Of Medicinal Plants Through Waste Land In Tamilnadu, Inidia

V.T. KUMAR and C. VENKATESAN

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Through India having great biodiversity nearly 8.0%, a very large part (20.16%) of total geographical area of the country is occupied by the waste land. Adoption of inappropriate soil and crop management practices following grassland cultivation exacerbated processes of land waste land resulting in rapid expansion of land desertification in semi arid region of the world including India. Many medicinal plant species have spread globally both via intentional and carefully planned transfer and as the unintentional outcome of people's movements. The demand of Indian medicinal plants has increased over the years in the international market. To meet out the demand of medicinal plants at international market we should use waste lands of the country, this practice will help to save the crop land from overburden, different researches explain that the cultivation of various medicinal plants, helps to reclaim the waste lands.
