Ashwagandha
WITHANIA SOMNIFERA (LINN.) DUNAL FAMILY - SOLANACEAE
An erect branched under shrub up to 1.25 m in height, minutely stellate tomentose.
Root fleshty, tapering, whitish brown. Leaves ovate, flower greenish. It grows in
dried parts in subtropical regions.
COMMON NAMES: Asgandh, Nagouri Asgandh, Punir.
LOCATION: Rajasthan (Nagour), Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat,
Maharastra & Madhya Pradesh.
PART USED: Root, leaf seed.
CULTIVATION:
SOIL AND CLIMATE
W. somnifera grows well in sandy loam or light red soil, having pH 7.5-8.0 with good
drainage. It can be cultivated between 600-1200 m altitude. The semi-tropical areas
receiving 500-750 mm rainfall are suitable for cultivation of this rained crop. The
crop requires dry season during its growing period. Temperature between 200C to
350C is most suitable for cultivation. Late winter rains are conducive for the proper
development of the plant roots
LAND PREPARATION
Ashwagandha is usually grown in fields which are not well covered by the irrigation
systems. The field on which food crops cannot be taken profitably for the above
reason may be used for Ashwangandha cultivation. The soil of the field selected for
Ashwagandha cultivation is well pulverized by ploughing, disking and/or harrowing.
The field may be then levelled by the application pata.
NURSERY RAISING AND PLANTING
The crop can be sown either by broad casting or in lines. Live to line method is
preferred as it in creases root production and also helps in performing intercultural
practices properly. The seeds are usually sown about 1-3 cm deepin June- July in
nursery. A light shower after shower after sowing ensures good germination. About
500-750 gm seeds are sufficient for 1 ha. field. Seeds can be treated, with Thiram or
Indofil or Dithane medicinal plants - 45 (@ 3 gm/kg seed), before sowing to protect
seedlings from seed borne diseases. The seedling after 25-35 days after sowing can
be transplanted in the field marinating 60 x 60 cm. Spacing between the plants & the
rows. It may be noted that since 'Asagnadh' is a rainy season Kharif crop, the time of
sowing is decided by date of arrival of monsoon in that area
MANURES, FERTILISERS AND PESTICIDES
The medicinal plants have to be grown without chemical fertilizers and use of
pesticides. Organic manures like, Farm Yard Manure (FYM), Vermi-Compost, Green
Manure etc. may be used as per requirement of the species. To prevent diseases,
bio-pesticides could be prepared (either single or mixture) from Neem (kernel, seeds
& leaves), Chitrakmool, Dhatura, Cow's urine etc.
IRRIGATION
Light shower after transplantation ensures establishment of seedlings. There is no
need of irrigation if rainfall is at regular intervals. Excessive rainfall/water is harmful
to the crop. Life saving irrigations may be applied, if required.
HARVESTING/ POST HARVESTING
The plants start flowering and bearing fruits from December onwards. The crop is
ready for harvest in January-March at 150 to 180 days after sowing. The maturity of
crop is judged by drying out of leaves and yellow red berries. The entire plant is
uprooted for roots which are separated from aerial parts by cutting the stem 1-2 cm
above the crown. The roots are then either cut transversely into small pieces (7 to
10 cm) or dried as it is in the sun. About 650-800 kg roots can be obtained from 1
ha on drying it comes to 350-435 kg. Berries are hand plucked separately. They are
dried and crushed to take out the seeds.
The dried roots, entire or transversely cut into smaller pieces, have to be further
cleaned, trimmed and graded. The roots are beaten with a club which removes
adhering soil and breaks off the thin, brittle lateral rootlets. Lateral branches, root
crown and stem remains on roots are carefully trimmed with the help of knife.
YIELD
On an average yield from one hectare land under commercial cultivation is approx 3-
5 quintals of dried roots and 50-75 kg seeds.
