Plant-propagation methods were standardized for nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt),cinnamon, clove [Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr.], allspice [Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr.] and vanila (Vanilla planifoliaAndr.). Tissue culture research especially for micropropagation and biotechnology in frontier areas of science are nowbeing initiated. High production technologies for black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) and cardamom were formulated.Measures to manage Phytophthora foot rot in black pepper, rhizome rot and 'Katte' in cardomom and soft rot in gingerwere formulated and successfully transferred to farmers plots.
