In recent years, the cultivation of medicinal plants has gained momentum due to the growing interest in herbal medicines. As a result, there is a need for authoritative information on the cultivation and utilization of these valuable plants. The book Medicinal Plants provides comprehensive information on the current status of medicinal plants, including their phytochemistry, quality control, and good agricultural and manufacturing practices. The book also covers commercially grown medicinal plants, as well as those important in trade. In addition, the book includes information on botany, crop improvement, crop protection, crop production, post-harvest handling, chemical composition, chemical analyses, and uses of commercially grown crops. The systematic compilation of available information on 65 promising medicinal species in this book provides specific information on cultivation and utilization to farmers, academicians, students, and related industries. This documented information also highlights major research gaps and suggests appropriate research strategies for these crops.
