Abstract
The major part of the arable land in our country is
used to raise food, fibre and oil seed crops. However, in the
recent past the demand for medicinal plants in the
International market has increased. Therefore, we need to
consider cultivating this group of plants also as India is having
diverse weather and soil conditions and a large number of
medicinal plants grow as compared to any other country. This
will not only facilitate in maintaining the biodiversity but also
improve the income of poor farmers. Therefore, the importance
of medicinal plants is very high in agricultural sector in India
(Anonymous, 2001), and isabgol is one of the most important
crop among them.
