CONSERVATIVE CULTIVATION OF RAUVOLFIA SERPENTINE -A COMPARATIVE QUANTITATIVE STUDY WSR TO KUNAPAJALA Authors: Krishnan PR , MESHRAM S AND PATEL B
ABSTRACT
Ever since Ayurveda attained world attention medicinal plants Scarcity turned out to be one among
the prime lacunas in the research and development of ayurvedic medicines. It’s a fact that we are
lacking genuine drugs in the dry drug market because of unscientific drug collection and
deforestation. So it’s the need of the hour to start with scientific cultivation and conservative
collection by rediscovering some of our ancient cultivation measures. Vrikshayurveda is a branch of
Ayurveda where we can find enough references regarding the ancient cultivation techniques and
different preparation techniques of natural manures one among them is kunapajala (organic liquid
manure) so here in this research study we are assessing the efficacy of kunapajala in cultivation of
Rauvolfia serpentina which is one among the red listed plants and is reported to be commonly
adultered with R.tetraphylla.
