In recent years, the cultivation of medicinal plants has gained momentum due to the renewed interest in herbal medicines, which has created a need for reliable information on the cultivation and utilization of these valuable plants. The book Medicinal Plants addresses this need by providing comprehensive information on the current status, phytochemistry, quality control, and good agricultural and manufacturing practices for a range of medicinal plants, as well as details on commercially grown and traded species. Additionally, the book covers topics such as botany, crop improvement, crop protection, production, post-harvest handling, chemical composition, and uses of these plants. The systematic compilation of information on 65 promising medicinal species in the book is intended to provide specific guidance for farmers, academics, students, and related industries, and to identify research gaps and develop appropriate strategies for future research in these crops.
