Plants producing an aromatic oil, fruit, or seed have been used in
religious ceremonies, for personal use and adornment, and for
flavoring throughout history. There is now also world-wide pressure
by consumers to use perceived natural compounds in edible and
personal products. It is vital that producers should be able to
service this growing demand efficiently, economically and above all
reliably. Many essential oil crops are part of the economy of
countries with expanding populations, resulting in increasing
pressure on land to produce food and fuel. It is thus important to
ensure the optimum social and economic benefit from establishing
and growing essential oil crops. This book is concerned with
growing essential oil plants profitably to obtain an aromatic
derivative. Each chapter covers a different family. A brief history
of the use and economic development is given, and cultivation,
harvesting and distilling described. Results of current research
and recommendations for improved agronomic practices, together with
methods of adding value to the crop, such as producing honey or
processing the oil, are also discussed.
