Therapeutically effective - aromatically valuable: medicinal and spice plant cultivation as agricultural niche crops
With its large number of different plant species and cultivation systems, the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants places high demands on agricultural practice, but also opens up innovative farm and crop diversification opportunities. In practice, more than 100 plant species are cultivated for their therapeutic effects or aroma-forming properties. The cultivation methods, some of which are perennial, the low degree of cultivation and the often low competitive strength of the plants require not only careful crop rotation but also continuous optimization of the cultivation concepts. In the intensive dialogue between practice and research, numerous fields of action arise for the production of medicinal, spice and aromatic plants.
