Abstract


Cardamom, (Elettaria cardomum Maton,) is an indigenous spice crop of South India. It is found growing wild in portions of Western ghats from Coorg to Tirunelveli on elevations ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 feet above sea level. It is also cultivated in the above regions on a plantation scale. Only a few places possess the conditions conducive to the growth of cardamoms and as such the aren under this spice crop is very much restricted. But the produce has a keen demand in continental markets and enjoys the position of a rare commodity.
