Full Description
Medicinal Plants and Phytomolecules: Cultivation for Large Scale Production describes management practices and performance insights into cultivation and farm-scale production of commercially important phytomolecule-containing plants and products ensuring optimal production. Including natural chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, health-promoting compounds, nutraceuticals, agrochemicals, perfumery products, cosmetics, chemical additives, the book addresses the key concepts, applications and challenges. Rising consumer interest in herbal medicinal products and supplements has led to strong global market demand for the botanical ingredients industry in recent years. However, and increase in both public demand for the consumption of medicinal plants and their various applications in different industries, has resulted in an extinction risk to medicinal plants species worldwide. Harvesting from wild resources is no longer sustainable for many commercially valuable species. Successful exploitation and commercialization of medicinal and aromatic plants requires a clear understanding of their demand and sustainable production systems.
Medicinal Plants and Phytomolecules: Cultivation for Large Scale Production addresses the significant link between the medicinal value of cultivated plants with the cultivation techniques used in their production. The books presents cultivation management practices which can influence the biomass yield, phytochemical profiling, and biological activity of field cultivated medicinal plants. A volume in the <> series, this book presents the most current information available today on field cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants ranging from seed and soil preparation, nutrient delivery, agro-techniques to phyto-nanotechnology and precision farming. It covers farming principles and practices for commercial production of medicinal and aromatic plants under field conditions. It also explores the complex agro-techniques and innovative approaches being used to enhance the quality and quantity standards of raw materials utilized in different industries.
