Abstract

Isabgol (Plantago ovata) belonging to family Plantaginaceae is an important medicinal herb that has been used in health care for several years in India. It is now used all over the world for its medicinal properties. In India, it has been introduced and cultivated in North Gujarat and adjoining parts of Western Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. However, the crop is spreading in non-traditional parts of the country such as Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka. More than 90% of the Indian produce is exported all over the world and is an important foreign exchange earning commodity.
