Impact of soil type in the production of Andrographolide
An acurate, precise, cost-effective, reproducible and selective method for the determinations of andrographolide from plants has been described. The soil types were found to influence the level of andrographolides in the medicinal plant Andrographiis paniculata Nees. Further, soil rich in N, P, Fe and Mn were found to be more suitable for the cultivation of this medicinal herb.
