Stevia is an incredibly sweet herb, obtained by a natural
selective breeding process of the sweetest Stevia parent plants. The sweetener,
stevioside, extracted from the plants, is 300 times sweeter than sugar. The
fresh leaves have nice liquorices taste.... The dried leaves of Stevia are
about 40 times sweeter than sugar.
Originally Stevia only grew in the northern regions of South
America but its cultivation has become popular worldwide. . The
plant has been known for centuries by the native Guaranay-Indians for the sweet
taste of its leaves. They use it, amongst other things, to make
"mate" herbal tea. Stevia is often referred to as the "sweetest
plant of the world".
It is clear from research of
ten years of Hahnemann Charitable Mission Society that “Stevia Herb” controls
diabetes when daily used by diabetes patient. And it permanently removes of the
disease.
The most important thing
about Stevia is that it is 300 times sweeter than sugar.
Any patient can easily use it, with tea, coffee, juice, sweets etc.
Director of HCMS, Mr. Atul
Gupta says – In keeping view of the increasing effectiveness in diabetes,
society is promoting of Stevia Cultivation. The Cultivation is also encouraged
by National Medicinal Plant Board and National Horticulture Board. Through
Stevia cultivation, farmers can get 10 times economic benefit than any other
farming and this is a purely organic cultivation
Stevia plant is similar to
Tulsi plant. In some regions it is called – Sweet Tulsi. After 3 months of
transplant of stevia, farmer starts getting the benefit. And stevia cultivation
is very beneficial for land improvement also.
Recently,
Two major achievements have been record by the society:-
FIRST ACHIEVEMENT : - In keeping view of the market agenda, India’s first unit
based on Japanese technology is setting up in Haridwar (Uttarakhand) for
processing the leaves of Stevia. This unit is setting up by Eco Green Resources
Private Limited with the cost of approx 75 crores.
After cultivation, the produce
which purchase by unit will be process and the medicinal powder will be made by
the unit.
SECOND ACHIEVEMENT : - With the aim of giving economic freedom to the farmers of Rajasthan State, society has started the
cultivation of stevia on the 200 Acre land through the contract farming with
the Drip-System based of hi-tech principal. The first phase of planting has
already started in 25 Acre in Bassi Lalpura & in 25 Acre in Bandikui
Badyaal Kalan Nandera. In future, after this pilot project, cultivation of
stevia will expand in 1000 Acre of land.
Stevia and other medicinal
& horticulture cultivation will be the milestone for the country’s
development.
Any person interested in farming can contact us for information regarding this cultivation
on the number: - + 91 9887555005.
In mutual working of Hahnemann
Charitable Mission Society & Aum Eco Green Resources Private Limited, to
encourage of the cultivation of stevia in all over Jaipur region, eight pilot
projects will be establish with the total cost of approx 6 corer.
CULTIVATION
METHOD OF STEVIA
Originally, Stevia only grew in
the northern regions of South America but its
cultivation has now become popular worldwide. Incredibly sweet herb, obtained
from a natural selective breeding process of the sweetest Stevia parent plants.
1.
LAND PREPARATION & CLIMATE : - The
land sites plowed and cultivated twice to prepare a smooth, firm-planting
surface.
2.
TRANSPLANTS : - Transplants
from cutting would be superior, however cost makes it prohibitive. Stevia must
be propagated from seed in plug trays placed in a greenhouse for a period of 7
to 8 weeks.
3.
PROPAGATION : -
Stevia plants can be propagating from cutting or seeds or by tissue culture. As
the seed germination is poor and seedlings grow slowly, it is generally
propagated clonally through cuttings. For vegetative propagation, stem cuttings
of 15 cm length is taken from leaf axils from the current year’s growth to give
better results. Treatment with Paclobutrazol @ 100ppm is done to induce the
root initiation in short time and IBA@500 ppm has also been found to be
effective. The best months for propagation are February-March. The cuttings
will be ready for transplanting after 25-30 days of rooting.
4.
IRRIGATION : -
Normally, the Stevia plant requires frequent, shallow irrigation. Generally,
one applies irrigation if the stem tips are drooping, at least one time per
week
5. WEED CONTROL : - This
crop also requires hand hoeing and weeding
6. PESTS: - Insect or pest
pressures other than cutworm are minimal. Septoria disease can cause
considerable damage to the Stevia crop. It can be remove by 6% borax powder
7. HARVESTING ; - After
3 months of propagation, stevia is ready for harvesting. Its harvest up from
7-8 centimeter, so that it can be regrowth. After that again after 90 days
stevia is ready for harvest. Thus, it can be harvested 4 times in one year.
8. THRESHING :
- Immediately after drying, a specially designed thresher/separator is
necessary to separate dry Stevia leaves from its stem. Stem and leaf proportion
tend to be equal such as 3,000 kg/ha each
.
