Study Notes
Cultivating Medicinal Plants
- Cultivating medicinal plants in a small area offers the advantage of controlled and consistent production, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality medicinal materials.
Disadvantages of Collecting Wild Medicinal Plants
- Collecting wild medicinal plants has the disadvantage of depleting natural resources, potentially leading to extinction of the species.
Overcoming Seed Coat Dormancy
- Seed coat dormancy can be overcome through scarification, which involves scratching or breaking the seed coat to allow water to penetrate and stimulate germination.
Insufficiency of Supply in Wild Medicinal Plants
- The main reason for insufficiency of supply in wild medicinal plants is over-harvesting, which leads to depletion of natural resources and threatens the survival of the species.
Improving Drug Quality through Cultivation
- Cultivating medicinal plants contributes to improving the drug by ensuring consistent quality, reducing the risk of contamination or adulteration, and allowing for standardized processing and manufacturing.
