Aromatic Oil Producing Plants Cultivation

Public awareness of locally available aromatic oil-producing medicinal plants is increasing day by day. They have created a great demand as people are eager to learn about diseases and their preventive methods. Aromatic oil-producing plants generally contain volatile oil in all their proportions in different concentrations and can represent a viable source against antioxidant, anticancer, anti-protozoal, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. This book contains six medicinal plants and it has been edited for those readers and researchers who would like to know more about locally available medicinal plants, descriptions, cultivation methods, and research-oriented ideas. I assure you that this edited book will create awareness of aromatic oil-producing plants
that are locally grown. Being research-based exhaustive and compressive work this book is bound to prove to be good stuff for students, teachers, professionals, and general readers. Comments and suggestions were always welcome for further improvement of this book and will be greatly accepted.
