摘要:Meda (Polygonatum verticillatum) belongs to the family Liliaceae. It is an important ingredient of Astvarga and known for its various medicinal uses. This is a herb which is used against many diseases and as a tonic. Due to great market potential of this plant, it is harvested in uncontrolled way which is causing the decline of the herb from its natural habitat. Thus, there is a need for its in-situ as well as, ex-situ conservation and propagation. Hence, the present study was conducted by putting different trials with different types of organic fertilizers and nursery beds to develop techniques for appropriate harvesting and cultivation practices for sustainable utilization of this plant.
