Therapeutically effective - aromatically valuable: medicinal and aromatic 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 operational and plant cultivation diversification opportunities. In practice, over 100 plant species are cultivated for their therapeutic effects or their aroma-producing properties. The cultivation methods, some of which are perennial, the low degree of breeding and the often low competitive strength of the plants require continuous optimization of the cultivation concepts in addition to careful crop rotation. The intensive dialog between practice and research has resulted in numerous fields of action for the production of medicinal, aromatic and spice plants.
