13 medicinal plants to be cultivated in plantations as intercrop
Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala has entered into an agreement with the Rubber Board to help rubber farmers cultivate medicinal plants as intercrops.
Arya Vaidya Sala will help farmers cultivate 13 medicinal plants in their plantations, especially during the first seven years after planting the rubber.
Rubber Board and Arya Vaidya Sala officials said here on Tuesday that cultivating medicinal plants as an intercrop in the initial years of rubber planting would help the farmers tide over their lean years.
