From Paul_Bubrick@npi-lv.ccmail.compuserve.comTue Oct 3 00:59:41 1995 Date: 25 Sep 95 14:07:35 EDT From: Paul_Bubrick@npi-lv.ccmail.compuserve.com To: sanet-mg@amani.ces.ncsu.edu Subject: Herb Production Figures: Some Sources Hello sannetters, Thank you for your responses. As expected, relatively little is published concerning medicinal and aromatic herb production figures. Several useful sources have included: International Symposium on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, eds. Palevitch and Putievsky, Acta Horticulturae 344, 1993. Simon, Chadwick, and Craker. Herbs. An Indexed Bibliography 1971-1980. Archon Books, 1984. Duke, J. 1986. Economic Plants for Holdridge Life Zones: Climatic requirements of 1000 species. Internat. Permacult. Species Yearbook. Sievers, A.F. 194? Production of drug and condiment plants. Farmers' Bulletin No. 1999. USDA Duke, J.A. and duCeilier, J.L. CRC Handbook of Alternative Cash Crops, 1993. CRC Press. I have not yet fully explored Cornell, Amherst, Washington State, or Purdue, but I suspect they have lots of available information. I will follow up on sanet leads and report any other interesting sources. Any additional info/ideas would be appreciated. If I can compile a large and interesting list, I will publish it on Sanet.

Paine" To: sanet-mg@amani.ces.ncsu.edu Subject: Herb Production Figures Hello, Paul Bubrick and others interested in Herbs as crops. I'd like to add one resource to your list, Paul. The New Crops Newsletter, published by the Purdue University Horticulture Department, often has articles on herbs and medicinal plants. The sponsor a new crops symposium every three years or so (one is coming up this October, I believe), which always involves a session or two on herbs and medicinals. The proceedings of the first two symposia have been published and may be a good source of the information you are looking for.
