Medicinal herbs and trees are some of the most trusted sources of
traditional cures for most common diseases, even in the present day.
The onset of COVID- 19 has increased the popularity of medicinal and
herbal plants as well as their products over modern medicines in
several instances. There is a considerable gap between demand and
supply as most of these plants are not conventionally cultivated and
are collected from forests. Most of the knowledge of the
identification and utilization of medicinal and herbal plants is
orally passed on from one generation to another and only occasionally
documented. Propagation to Pharmacopeia: Modern Approaches in
Medicinal Plants explores various aspects of medicinal and herbal
plants, including cultivation, biotechnological aspects, diversity,
bioprospecting, sustainable utilization of medicinal plants,
extension, ethnobotany/ modern and traditional uses, and conservation
of medicinal plants. This book will serve the purpose of providing
scientific information about medicinal plants and herbal plants, their
uses, biotechnological aspects, chemical profiling, and conservation.

foresters, agriculture practitioners, researchers, as well as those in
industries manufacturing herbal drugs, nutraceuticals, and
supplementary products. From this book, readers will gain extensive
