Brahmi requires more water and slightly clay soil. Shatavari is more suited for sandy soils. It needs minimum 18 months time for root harvest. Te root demand is more. During summer months even senna can be cultivated.Senna should be sown in march and harvested by june. it prefers very hot climate then only the sennoside content will be around 3-4%. Mulleti is an important crop which is again a long term crop, it requires 4-5 years to grow. It is widely used plant, being imported from Iran and Russia. You can get some idea from local agricultural university also.
