CHANGING TRADITIONS PEOPLE – MORE HEALTH CONSCIOUS THE TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE ARE HERBAL IN NATURE AYURVEDA / SIDDHA / UNANI ECO- / HEALTH TOURISM – AYURVEDIC REJUVENATION AYURVEDIC DRUG MANUFACTURING IS NOW AN INDUSTRY
SPARE THE FORESTS HEAVY DEMAND FOR MEDICINAL PLANTS • RAW DRUGS COLLECTED MOSTLY FROM FORESTS • - INCREASED DEMAND CANNOT BE MET • COLLECTION UNSCIENTIFIC AND DESTRUCTIVE • ABSENCE OF STANDARDS • SPURIOUS MATERIAL WIDELY USED ONLY ALTERNATIVE : CULTIVATION
REVIVAL OF TRADITIONS THE PLANTS IN THE BACKYARD – HAS TO COME BACK Keezharnelli, Kudagapala, Koovalam, Jathi, Kudampuli TREES, SHRUBS AND HERBS IN MULTI-TIER AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS
SOCIAL FORESTRY UTILIZATION OF COMMUNITY LANDS , WASTE LANDS ROADSIDES FOR CULTIVATION - FOREST DEPARTMENT - WASTELAND DEVELOPMENT BOARD - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Neem, Kanikonna, Nelli, Puli, Kumizhu, Athi, Ithi, Peral, Arayal
FOREST PLANTATIONS SPACE AVAILABLE AT ALL STAGES OF PLANTATIONS Mylangi, Kattuchambakam, Mathalam, Jathi , Asokam Kacholam, Chengazhi, Ingi, Manjal, Chittaratha, Adalodakam
DEGRADED LANDS - REHABILTATION SPECIES-SITE MATCHING KFRI EXPERIENCE IN ATTAPADY AND MUDALAMADAI Karuvelum, Karinjali, Nenmenivaka, Koovalam, Pathimukam
PLANTING STOCK PRODUCTION SEEDS - CONVENTIONAL, SIMPLE AND CHEAP - VARIATION IN PROPAGULES VEGETATIVE (CLONAL ) PROPAGATION ( GRAFTING, LAYERING, ROOTED CUTTINGS ) - UNIFORM PROPAGULES - MASS MULTIPLICATION OF SUPERIOR CLONES - RISKS OF MONOCULTURE MODERN METHODS - ROOTED CUTTINGS UNDER MISTING - MICROPROPAGATION
NURSERY TECHNOLOGY SUPERIOR PROPAGULE + BETTER NURSERY TECHNIQUES = QUALITY PLANTING STOCK • ROOT TRAINER TECHNOLOGY • APPROPRIATE POTTING MEDIA • AUTOMATED IRRIGATION SYSTEMS • - ORGANIC FERTILIZERS AND PLANT PROTECTION MEASURES
HARVESTING AND POST HARVEST TECHNOLOGY SCIENTIFIC HARVESTING - DAMAGE DUE TO BARK GIRDLING, UPROOTING, IMPROPER SEASON OF COLLECTION - AWARENESS, TRAINING AND MONITORING PROCESSING OF RAW DRUGS FOR ROUND-THE-YEAR AVAILABILITY VALUE ADDITION
