Effects of different quality of soil mixture on growth development of an important medicinal plant, Boesenbergia rotunda

Growth and morphological development of Boesenbergia rotunda grown in different soil mixture were considered to determine the suitable growing media for the species. B. rotunda or fingerroot ginger is a highly important medicinal plant belonging to Zingiberaceae family. The rhizome and fingerroot...
