Abstract


Cardamom occurs wild in the evergreen jungles of the Western Ghats in Travancore, Madras, Coorg and Mysore. It is also cultivated in those areas between 2,500 to 4,500 ft. above sea level. It can be grown only under the shade of forest trees and it does well in areas where the annual rainfall is about 100 inches and well distributed. Cardamom is almost entirely a South Indian product though its cultivation extends to Ceylon, Eastern Archipelago and Java to a comparatively small extent.
