Medicinal plant cultivation has been popularized in farmlands in different parts of Central India through the efforts of Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Economic analysis of medicinal plant cultivation packages/models showed that they were viable for increasing the financial conditions of farmers in long run. Several farmers have taken up large scale cultivation of medicinal plants like Isabgol (Plantago ovata), Bach (Acorus calamus), Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivillianum) and Muskhadana (Abelmoschus moschatus) based on the technical know-how provided by the Institute. Now these farmlands serve as the source of planting materials for further extension of such activities. |
