"Indian diversity in medicinal flora is unmatched. In India, over 7500 medicinal species are being used by 4635 ethnic communities for human and veterinary health care across the various ecosystems. According to a conservative estimate, the value of medicinal plants related trade in India is to the tune of about Rs. 23,000 million per annum while the world trade is around 120 billion US$. Recent market trends indicate that export market in India is growing faster than domestic market. Though, rich in medicinal wealth, the growing demand for herbal drugs in India, puts a heavy strain on the existing resources. Hence, medicinal plant cultivation has received an impetus in the recent years because of revival of ancient traditions of medicine and due to the promotion of eco-health tourism in the country. Considerable knowledge on the botany and chemistry of medicinal plants are available. As majority of the medicinal species are sourced from the wild, agro technologies are readily available only for a few of the commercially grown species. A systematic compilation of the available information on the promising medicinal species helps in providing specific information on the cultivation and utilization of these crops to farmers, academicians and related user industries. Also, this documented information serves to give an insight to the major research lacunae and formulate appropriate research strategies, in these crops. Medicinal plant cultivation has received an impetus in the recent years due to revival of interest in herbal medicines necessitating authoritative information on cultivation and utilization of this valuable flora.
