Large cardamom: A Potential cash crop of Hill Community
Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2022, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Large cardamom, Amomum subulatum Roxb. is extensively used for flavouring vegetables and food preparations across India due to its pleasant aromatic odour. It is also used as an essential ingredient in mixed spices preparation for making food delicious. It contains 2-3% essential oil having medicinal properties. It is also used as a preservative for food materials. The crop of this plant grows well in hilly areas on slopes. Present article is an attempt to collect information about the large cardamom for farmers and researchers so that they can get proper information regarding this cash crop. Researchers can use this information for the development of disease and heat resistant varieties, so that this crop can be grown in the plains of India too. Micropropagation techniques can also be used for the development of new varieties of this crop.
