Effect of Different Fertilizers on Medicinal Plants

Nutrient management has increasingly become important in producing quality medicinal plantmaterials. Studies have shown that proper fertilization management can effectively increase the yieldand quality of medicinal plants. Medicinal plants require both macro and micronutrients for normalphysiological and metabolic processes of the plant. One of the biggest challenges in the productionof medicinal plants is providing the nutrients they need. In this review article, the effect of chemicaland organic (compost, vermicompost, Mycorrhizal fungi and bacterial) fertilizers in supplying therequired nutrients and their effect on medicinal plants were discussed.
