SAFED MUSLI Herbal Plantation in India

SAFED MUSLI

Chlorophytum borivilianum Family - Liliaceae Santapau

It is herb with linear leaves appearing over ground with the advent of summer rains. Flowers white. It is propagated through rootstocks.
REGIONAL NAMES
English : White Musale
Marathi : Pandhri Musli
Gujarati : Dhouli Musli
Kannada : Belwadi
Tamil : Tanirvitang
Malayalam : Milyatali
Bengali : Taalmooli
DISTRIBUTION

Foot Hills of Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh & Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Kanataka, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra.
PART USED


Tuberous Root
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES & USES

It is merging as a natural aphrodisiac and also utilised in various neutraceutical and phytopharmaceutical. It is prescribed in debility, gonorrhoea and also considered useful in diarrhoea and asthma.
CULTIVATION & PROPAGATION
Soil and Climate

Safed Musli requires well drained loamy to sandy loam soils rich in organic matter. Warm and humid climatic condition with good amount of soil moisture during the growing season favour luxuriant vegetative growth and facilitate fleshy root development.
Nursery Raising and Planting

It could be propagated through seeds as well as by vegetative means (root stock bearing buds or growing points).
1. Vegetative propagation

The initiation of sprouts of fleshy roots starts by the mid of May but sometimes it could be as early as the last week of April in stored material. In the forest seedlings emerge from the ground within 4-6 days after the rains. However, for the purpose of raising plants in the field either the sprouted seedlings should be collected from the forest between 10 to 30 days after the rains and transplanted in the field or fleshy root bunches should be taken out from the ground or storage place by mid of May.
2. By seeds

The seeds are black in colour and with angular edges. It takes 12-16 days to sprout. The seeds should be sown in prepared seedbed, which is heavily manured by FYM, or leaf litter in the first or second week of June and adequate moisture should be continuously maintained during absence of rain in the early monsoon. The seedlings can be transplanted in the field during the next rainy season only at 30 x 15 cm spacing because the development of plants as well as roots by means of seeds in the first year is not vigorous enough as compared to the vegetatively propagated plants.

Even a small, 1 cm long and slightly shrinken fleshy roots or rootstocks have a capacity to reproduce into new plants. These fleshy roots sprout from second week of May to second week of June. The sprouted fleshy propagules should be planted in the field in first or second week of June, followed by irrigation. The practice of planting on top of the ridges of 15-20 cm height at a row distance of 30 x 15 cm is found adequate for obtaining commercial yield. It is estimated that 250-300 kg of rootstocks will be required for planting one hecatare land. Safed Musli could be easily intercropped in between maize rows.
Manure/Fertilizer

The use of 10-15 ton of farmyard manure (FYM)/hectare provides good nutrient status to the substratum for supporting healthy plant growth.
Irrigation

The crop may be sown after the rainfall. If there is no rains after sowing of fleshy root propagules and its transplanting then one irrigation should be provided immediately. Later, when soil moisture has receded in the fields, irrigation may be done after 10 to 15 days interval.
Weeding

One to two weeding-cum-hoeings are needed to keep the soil porous and free of weedy growth.
HARVESTING/POST-HARVESTING

The crop matures in about 90 days after cultivation. At maturity the leaves start yellowing and ultimately dry up from the collar part and fall down. The crop could thus be harvested when leaves have dried which occurs in the month of September & October. During digging of plants, fleshy root bunches should be lifted from the soil. The harvested fleshy roots a removed and cleaned and white musali tubers are dried and spread in the shade for about 4-7 days.
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS

Glycosides, saponins, sapogenins, steroids, asparagin, vitamins & carbohydrates.
Yield

About one ton of fleshy root per hectare, is collected. This, after processing and drying is reduced to 200 kg.

How herbs turn land into gold!

Converting land into a goldmine -- this is what herbs and medicinal plants' growers seem to be doing under the patronage of the recently-formed Central Herbal Agro Marketing Federation of India.

Realising that marketing is a major problem for herb growers, the federation has chalked out a unique strategy to get over it by pooling the entire produce of its members and selling it collectively.

In fact, the federation first enters into purchase agreements with buyers and then advises its members to plan the production accordingly.

To help the members produce good quality stuff, the federation provides them the necessary technical know-how and even inputs such as seeding material.

And all the herbs are produced through organic farming to facilitate negotiating better prices.

The man behind this venture is Rajaram Tripathy, a 45-year-old former banker belonging to Kondagaon, a sleepy habitation in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh.

He left his job to try out herbal cultivation in 1996 on his ancestral land in Kondagaon. His banking contacts came in handy to get a loan of over Rs 20 lakh (the biggest loan to any single farmer in the area till then) for this purpose. But what really contributed to the success of the venture was his marketing acumen.

Even before sowing the herb, Safed Musli (Chlorohytum borivilianum), he visited traders in Delhi to assess the demand and the price he was likely to get.

The results were instant, and he was able to repay the loan after disposing off the very first harvest. This instilled confidence in the bankers to lend him even larger amounts, albeit at commercial terms.

This help was adequate for Tripathy to set up Maa Danteshwari Hitech Herbal Farms on his land to take up research and development of organic herbal cultivation.

In less than a decade, this farm has become the hub of herb promotion activities for the whole country. It serves as the training centre, demonstration farm and even a seed supplier for herb growers.

Today, the herbal marketing federation has a membership of nearly 2,700 farmers in 11 states. In fact, the Chhattisgarh government has come out with a policy paper to make it a "herbal state".

Recently, the defence ministry's directorate of resettlement of ex-armymen has sought the federation's assistance in initiating ex-servicemen into herb cultivation.

The directorate is doing this under its retired personnel's rehabilitation programme called "from arms to farms". These men will be cultivating Safed Musli (the Indian answer to Viagra and the Chinese ginseng) and Stevia (a zero-calorie herbal sweetener).

To begin with, the federation has taken up the promotion of organic farming and marketing of a few selected herbs that have the maximum market demand, and can provide lucrative returns to growers.

These include Safed Musli, Stevia, Sarpgandha, Ashwagandha, lemon grass, Kalihari, Coleus and some others. According to Tripathy, Safed Musli and Stevia, among these, are the most lucrative and have vast untapped production and marketing potential.

Both are virtually cash crops with low risk and assured tax-free, high returns.

Safed Musli has been used for centuries in the ayurvedic system of medicine as an aphrodisiac and vitaliser agent. Besides, it is also used in the treatment of diabetes, arthritis, rheumatism and natal and post-natal problems.

As such, it is an essential ingredient in over 100 ayurvedic, Unani, allopathic and homeopathic medicinal preparations. Stevia (Stevia robudina), on the other hand, is used in the preparations offered as alternatives to white sugar for weight-conscious people and diabetes patients.

However, the country's present Safed Musli production is only a fraction of the actual demand. A great deal of spurious stuff is also doing the rounds. This malpractice needs to be curbed.

Tripathy is upbeat about boosting herbal exports from India. The annual global market for medicinal herbs is estimated at around $ 65 billion.

It is growing at a high rate of around 16 per cent a year. The Indian share at present is very small. Even China exports nearly six times more herbs than India.

"I want to replace Chinese ginseng with the Indian Safed Musli in the export market," says Tripathy. This should not be too difficult as the Indian Safed Musli has 14 per cent Saphonil (the active ingredient that is believed to have anti-ageing properties), against only 6 per cent in the ginseng.

Besides, most of the supplies from the federation's members are grown organically and certified as such by a German organic produce certification agency.

By adopting modern marketing strategies, and highlighting the advantages of organically-grown Indian herbs, the exports can be multiplied several folds. The federation, as well as the Maa Danteshwari herbal farm, have created Web sites to reach out to the world for this purpose.

WHAT IS JATROPHA AND ITS CULTIVATION IN INDIA

Jatropha curcas belongs to the family. Euphorbiaceae and is thus related to other important
cultivated plants like rubber, varan, neem etc. It is believed to be a native of South America, Africa & the Caribbean. It was introduced by Portuguese traders in the 16th century in India and since then Jatropha has been grown as a medicinal plant & hedge crop.

There are number of varities of Jatropha now thrive in India's varied regional climate. It is found in almost all the states & is generally grown as a live fence for protection of agricultural fields from damage by live stock as it is not eaten by cattle or goat.Amongst all the variety,

JATROPHA curcas is the best since the seed oil is reported to possess insecticidal, mollucicidal, fungicidal & nimaticidal properties. Some of the jatropha varieties are as under:
» Jatropha curcas (Non-toxic) -suitable species for Jatropha oil and biodiesel production.

» Jatropha curcas integrerrima.

» Jatropha Gossypifolia.

» Jatropha Glandulifera.

» Jatropha Tranjorensis.

» Jatropha Multifield.

» Jatropha Podagrica.


JATROPHA CULTIVATION

Jatropha requires specialized nursery techniques to raise the saplings in the nursery. The first step in Jatropha plantation is to plant the seeds to raise the nursery, which is very vital and requires guidance of professionals. Jatropha can also be propagated vegetative from cuttings.

Seeds are best sown during mid-February to mid-march and the seedlings 60-75 cm.tall can be transplanted to the prepared field.

Ideal planting pitch has been found to be 2m x 2m. thereby resulting in 2500 plants per hectare. Wider spacing would give larger yields of fruit @794 Kgs./Hac. Like all perennial plants, Jatropha shows vigorous growth in youth that tails off gradually towards maturity.

1Kg. of good Jatropha seed will give around 1100 seeds.

Germination time under good nursery care is 10-21 days.

In equatorial regions where moisture is not a limiting factor, Jatropha can bloom & produce fruit throughout the year.

Although Jatropha is adapted to soils with low fertility & alkalinity, better yield can be obtained on poor quality soils if fertilizers containing small quantity of nutrients are for first 2 years which is considered to be vital for their growth.

Jatropha starts yielding seeds from the end of first year & the economic yield stabilizes from the end of 3rd year onwards.

Under Indian condition, the yield varies from 6-10 MT Near from the end of 3nl year under proper care & supervision.

The plantation cost per hectare inclusive of site preparation, plant, material, maintenance for one year, overheads etc. shall be in the tune of Rs.30000/Hectare

Ripe fruits are plucked from the tree and the seeds are sun dried. Ripe fruits are decorticated manually or by decorticator.

To prepare seeds for oil extraction, the seed should be solar heated for several hours or roasted for 10 minutes. Overheating is to be avoided.

Oil can be extracted from seeds by mechanical extraction, solvent extraction etc.
For a yearly plantation of 200 Hectares,we propose to raise a nursery of 20 Lakh seedlings to be developed initially and then to raise 10 lakh nursery every year. This figure can be pegged up and down in discussion with you.
The income from the plantation at the end of 3rd year is around Rs.60,000/- per Hectare.

BIODIESEL IN INDIA SCENARIO

There has been greater awareness on Biodiesel in india in the recent
times due to shortage of Petrodiesel and soaring prices. Significant
activities have picked up for its production especially with a view to
reduce the huge cost involved in import of Petroleum fuel and to take
care of the shortage of Petrodiesel anticipated within a few years from
now. In addition, the process of production of Biodiesel from non edible
vegetable oil will boost the rural economy and providing non-polluting,
bio degradable and safe environment.

Considering all the aspects available among non-edible Tree Bearing Oil
(TBO) seeds, Jatropha curcas has been identified as the most suitable
seed for extraction of oil and subsequent processing of Biodiesel. The
best source of producing Biodiesel is Jatropha curcas, a plant that
grows well mainly in tropical climate. Jatropha can be grown in arid
zones (20 cm rainfall) as well as higher rainfall zones and even on land
with thin soil cover.

In tropical countries like ours, Jatropha grows well and can bloom and
produce fruit through out the year. To withstand extreme drought
conditions, Jatropha plant sheds leaves to conserve moisture which may
result in reduced growth. Although, Jatropha is adapted to soils with
low fertility and alkalinity, better yields can be obtained on poor
quality soils, if fertilizers containing small amount of nutrients are
used for the first two years.

Therefore, Europe and other non-tropical countries are a buyer of
Jatropha seeds and seedling of Jatropha from our internal market. As of
now no countries can supply any Jatropha seeds for the commercial
production of Biodiesel, but seeds for cultivation purpose are available
since mass scale cultivation is going on in the Indian sub-continent.
Nursery propagation of Jatropha needs specialized agro techniques to get
plants to yield requisite oil yields and the plant needs specialized
attention (prunning) to make it adequately seed bearing just like tea
plant. The raising of nursery and plantation thereafter should be done
under professional guidance. Jatropha plant bears fruits from 2nd year
of its plantation & the economic yield stabilizes from 4th/5th year
onwards. The plant has an average life with effective yield up to 50
years. Jatropha gives around 2 kg.of seeds/Plant The economic yield can
be considered as one-two kg./Plant & 4-6 MT hect/ year depending on
agro-climatic zone & agricultural practices. One hectare of plantation
on average soil will give 1.6 MT of oil.

India produces only 22% of its diesel requirement & 78% is imported at a
huge cost in foreign currency. With the introduction of compulsory use
of 10-20% Biodiesel in UK, USA, France, Germany, Japan & other countries
who specifies a 40-50% mix by 2010. India has a huge requirement by 2010
to meet the world norms & emission standard & accordingly a National
policy has already been given a green signal by Govt.of India in the
year 2003. Indian Railways have already carried out a trial run on
Amritsar-Shatabdi Express with Biodiesel. Similarly, Haryana State
Transport buses have been run by using biodiesel. Indian Railways have
taken a decision to plant Jatropha trees by the side of railway tracks &
Indian Oil other agencies in possession of Biodiesel Processing Units
will eventually process the Jatropha oil into biodiesel for Indian
Railways & to meet the national needs..

JATROPHA PLANTATION INDIA

Non-Forest Areas proposed for Jatropha Curcas Plantation
200 districts in 19 potential_tates have been identified on the basis of
availability of wasteland, rural poverty ratio, below poverty line (BPL)
census and agro-climatic conditions suitable for jatropha cultivation.
Each district will be treated as a block and under each block 15,000
hecter jatropha plantittfon will be undertaken through farmers. Proposal
is to provide green coverage to about 3 Million hectares of wasteland
through plantation of jatropha in 200 identified districts over a period
of 3 years.

Top 10 Blogger Hacks and Tips

1. Removing The Blogger Bar
All you need to do is add the following CSS to your template under edit
HTML. You need to put in anywhere in your template between the <style> tags.
#navbar-iframe { height:0px; visibility:hidden; display:none; }

2. Use Feedburner

Feedburner lets you "burn your feed" and add feed flare. Before they
were a Google company they were awesome but now that they are a part of
the Google they are even better. I use Feedburner for feed statistics,
monitoring users subscriptions, managing our daily email blast list and
adding feed flare enhancements to your feed. This is a MUST do for any
blog. Almost a no brainer. Blogger lets you specify your Feedburner
information in their 'Site Feed' tab inside your dashboard. Once there
you will see a place to plug in your Feedburners URL.

3.Use a real domain name instead of blogger's default naming conventions
In the beginning before we knew any better we though using a free
service like Blogger meant being locked into certain things like the
sub-domain name off of Blogspot. Google lets you "Brand" your blog and
link up a real domain name to forward to your Blogspot address. But they
did one better and redirect their address's to yours. So even if you
type in http://askTheAdmin.blogspot.com you will wind up at

http://www.askTheAdmin.com! Sweet.
4.Add Instant Messaging to your Blogger blog.
Want to chat with your users real time? I added Plugoo to my site,
linked it up with my AIM account and I am in constant contact with users
looking for help or just wanting to say what's up. This is not for
everyone but I found it so cool I now turn my AOL IM mobile when I am
AFK and my IM's hit me via Text message on my Smart Phone.

5. Update you blog daily and have quality content.
And the last but certainly not least Blogger tip/hack is not a hack at
all but a piece of advice . Update your blog on a daily basis. Because
that is all the readers want now isn't it? Would you read your own site
- if it wasn't yours?? If your answer is no, then you got some serious
re-thinking to do!
