India"Land of Spices"is the world's largest producer,consumer and exporter of spices. Spices were grown in 2.4million ha with a production of 2.74 million tonnes of which 2.1 lakh tonnes valued Rs. 1650 crores exported in 1998-99.To seet the internal consumption and international demand an annual growth rate of 8 to 10% is envisaged. Productivity (yield/ha)is low in India in many of these spices. Yield in black pepper(315 kg/ha),coriander(154 kg/ha),ginger(3477 kg/ha),turmeric(3912 kg/ha),coriander(591 kg/ha)and cumin (578 kg/ha)are very low compared to Malaysia(2925 kg/ha in black pepper)and Guatemala(250 kg/ha in small cardamom).Lesser fertiliser use,low fertiliseruse efficiency and micronutrient deficiency ae the major reasons for the low Productivity. An integrated plant nutrient management system is developed. Technologies for production of 'clean spices'through organic agriculture by recycling the farm wastes and other organic sources are being standardized as the demand for quality products is increasing.
