Abstract:
Curcuma longa Linn is well known for its multifold utility among local peoples over the world. It is used as a crude drug in many disorders among rural peoples. Due to its wide range of significance its market value is rich in India and also in the world. High exploitation and less cultivation will create an ecological problem for their existence in nature, leading to push it towards endangered category. Day by day the rate of demand of Curcuma longa Linn is increasing in market as well as pharmaceutics. Since the Curcuma longa Linn is being endangered its continuous cultivation in rural area and river belts of Bilaspur (C.G.) will be a better approach towards its conservation and increasing benefits to local villagers. The current paper is aimed to assess the cultivation and conservation process of the Curcuma longa Linn in the localities of the Study.
