Abstract:
India ranks sixth under world's twelve mega bio-diversity zones. Out of these, two of them exist in our country. India possesses tremendous ecological bio-diversity. It contains 5 % of the world's bio-diversity on 2 % of the earth's surface. The biodiversity in our country is unique in nature and its in-situ and ex-situ conservation is very well needed. In recent years, the global demand of herbs has led to a quantum jump in volume of medicinal plants traded within and across the countries. The medicinal plants have been identified as one of the most important plant diversities for rural development. The use of plants as medicine is as old as human civilization itself. India is home to about 15000 to 18000 of flowering plants of which about 8000 plant species are recognized as medicinal plants and are being used by various traditional systems of medicine. In Uttar Pradesh, Vindhyan and Bundelkhand regions, being native of many important medicinal plants, have a great potential for their conservation and cultivation. This paper deals with the conservation and nursery technique of some important medicinal plants, their usages and contribution in development of tribal economy in Vindhyan region of U.P. The species selected are of great importance as far as the economics of region is concerned. The nursery techniques as described in this paper can be successfully adopted by the cultivators in order to uplift their economic conditions. By doing so, we will not only be able to conserve the precious wealth of medicinal plants but we will also achieve the goal of conserving the biodiversity of species, which are threatened and at the verge of extinction. Plants have been used given those historic times to heal and remedy diseases and to enhance the fitness and the well-being of the populations. Medicinal and aromatic flora still structure the basis of standard or indigenous health structures of the populations in most of the creating countries, as mentioned with the aid of the World Health Organization (WHO). As end result of the increasing interest in medicinal plants, new income generating opportunities are opening up for rural populations. With many of the MAPs gathered from the wild, the recollection and sale of MAPs is offering a complementary supply of earnings for many terrible rural households.
