Majority of the medicinal plants belong to angiospermic families of
which legume family (Fabaceae) is the third largest, with
approximately 650 genera and 20,000 species. A handsome number of
medicinal legumes are potential sources of glycosides (aloe-emodin,
chrysophenol, emodin, and rhein etc.), antibiotics, flavonoids,
alkaloids and phytochemicals, which are used in drug manufacturing
by the pharmaceutical industries. Among them, hyacinth bean, senna
sophera, coffee senna and cassia tora constitute the most important
source of therapeutic agents used in the modern as well as
traditional systems of medicine. For the cultivation of plants, the
role of mineral nutrition is of paramount importance. Generally
legumes require high amount of phosphorus and calcium for their
growth, nodule formation and N2-fixation. Hence, intensive research
efforts should be expanded for maximizing the yield of potentially
useful leguminous medicinal plants particularly through optimal
supply of the required fertilizers. This work provides valuable
information regarding mineral nutrition strategies for the
cultivation of medicinally important leguminous plants.
