With high demand for oregano due to its medicinal & culinary value, optimizing cultivation practices is key. Present study shows how the right media mix supports growth, ensuring farmers can meet demand while sustaining supply. Full study here: doi.org/10.62029/jmaps… #JMAPS

Origanum vulgare (Indian oregano) thrives better with the right growth medium! Kumar et al. (2024) reveal that combining vermicompost & rooting hormone increases root & shoot growth significantly, boosting seedling establishment. A win for sustainable herb farming! #JMAPS

2/2 GC showed oven-drying boosts α-phellandrene (44.2%) but lowers lavandulol (23.6%). 15% NaCl increases lavandulol (27.9%) but reduces α-phellandrene. These variations highlight treatment potential to customize oil profiles for market needs! 🔗 doi.org/10.62029/jmaps… #JMAPS

1/2 New study alert! Venkatesh et al (2024) explore how salt (NaCl) & drying methods impact essential oil yield/composition in Murraya koenigii. Fresh leaves yield more oil (0.24%) vs. dried or NaCl-treated samples. Major constituents: α-phellandrene & lavandulol. #JMAPS

The low yield is linked to factors like loss of genetic potential, primitive cultivation practices, reliance on climate, & biotic stress like corm rot. This disease drastically affects yields, with compounding effects over the years. #JMAPS (3/3)

🧵 Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) from Kashmir is a globally renowned GI-tagged crop. India contributes 5% of global saffron production, with 90% coming from J&K. However, the yield (2-2.5 kg/ha) is much lower than the global avg of 3.4 kg/ha. #JMAPS (2/3)
