Factors effecting cultivation of Medicinal Plants:
1. Light:
Light is the only external source of energy for the continuation of life of the plant. Dry sunny weather increases the proportion of glycosides in digitalis and of alkaloids in belladonna.

2. Temperature:
Temperature is the major factor influencing the cultivation of the medicinal plant. Water absorption decreases at low temperatures. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by change in temperature. The rate of respiration increases with increase in temperature. Examples; Cinchona- 58-73°F; Tea- 75-90°F and coffee- 55-70°F

3. Atmosphere humidity:
It is present in the form of water vapors. This is called atmospheric humidity. Evaporation of water, its condensation and precipitation depends upon relative humidity and humidity affects structure, form and transpiration in plants.

4. Altitude:
The increase the altitude, the temperature and atmospheric pressure decreases while the wind velocity, relative humidity and light intensity increases. The bitter constituents of Gentiana lutea increase with altitude, whereas the alkaloids of oil content of thyme and peppermint decrease. Examples: Tea- 9500-1500 meters; cinnamon- 300-1000 meters
5. Rainfall:
The main source of water for the soil is rain water. Water influences morphological and physiology of plant. Examples: continuous rain can lead to a loss of water- soluble substance from leaves and root by leaching; this is known to apply to some plants producing glycoside and alkaloids.
6. Soil:
The soil should contain appropriate amounts of nutrients, organic matter and other elements to ensure optimal medicinal plant growth and quality. Optimal soil conditions, including soil type, drainage, moisture retention, fertility and pH, will be dictated by the selected medicinal plant species and/or target medicinal plant part.
Classification of soil particles: Clay, Loamy, Silt loam, Sandy loam, Sandy soil, Calcareous soil.
7. Fertilizer:
The fertilizers are two types:
1. Biological origin fertilizer.
2. Synthetic fertilizers
3. Chemical fertilizer
Biological origin fertilizer:
The substances of biological origin used as fertilizer are thus selected if these could provide the elements required. These are two types:
(i) Green manures: Farmyard manure, Composited manure
(ii) Bio-fertilizer: These mostly include nitrogen fixing microorganisms. Example Legume- Rhizobium symbiosis, Azolla- Anabaena symbiosis, Free- living bacteria, Cyanobacteria (blue green algae).

2. Chemical fertilizers:
(i) Macronutrients:
(a) Nitrogen (b) Phosphorous (c) Potassium (d) Calcium (e) Magnesium (f) Sulpher.
(ii) Micronutrients:
(a) Iron (b) Magnese (c) Zinc (d) Boron (e) Copper (f) Molybdenum
Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and chorine are provided from water and air.
Examples: Urea, Potash
