"The book entitled "Cultivation and Utilization of Aromatic Plants" published as early as 1982 continues to serve as a reference book.

"Of late there has been a spurt in the production of essential oils as at present 30 per cent of fine chemicals used in perfumes come from essential oils. In India the estimated production of perfumery raw material is around 5000 tonnes per annum valued at Rs. 400 crores. According to recent estimates the 90 per cent of present requirement of essential oils in this country is met by the indigenous production and 10 per cent from imports.

"This book entitled "Supplement to Cultivation and Utilization of Aromatic Plants" is aimed at providing multidisciplinary compendium of information on botany, agronomy, chemistry, trade trends and technological aspects of aromatic plants. Forty-three contributions on different aspects of aromatic plants written by different experts in the field provide a bird\'s eye view of all the details from the field to the factory.

"It is hoped that book will cater to the needs of not only professional scientists and technologists, but also to farmers, traders, importers and experts of aromatic plants." (jacket)
