Description Not Available
A field experiment was conducted at Central research farm of Directorate of Water Management, Mendhasal,
Odisha, India during post rainy season in 2005-06 to study and evaluate the performance of five medicinal
plants i.e. Coleus forskholii (coleus), Eclipta alba (bringraj), Eupatorium triplinerve (water hemp), Centella
asiatica (Indian pennywort) and Marsilea quadrifolia (European waterclover). As per the results obtained
in the study, coleus resulted in highest tuber yield (0.898 t ha-1) and bringraj resulted in highest leaf yield
(1.46 t ha-1). Intercropping with blackgram (Phaeolus mungo) resulted in lesser leaf yield of all medicinal
plants compared to sole cropping where as the reverse trend was noticed in Indian pennywort. The nitrogen
uptake was found to be higher in coleus and water hemp when intercropped with blackgram where as other
three medicinal plants exhibited a reverse trend. The highest gross water productivity (Rs.13.3 m-3) and net
water productivity (Rs. 5.42 m-3) were noticed with coleus followed by that of bringraj in sole cropping.
