Abstract

The cultivation of henna is profitable under low rainfall conditions. Due to its drought hardiness, it can be cultivated on land that are drought prone, marginal or unsuitable for arable cropping to give assured economic return at low cost investment. The production of leaves starts third year onwards and continues for the next 15-30 years. Thus, a profit of ` 12,450 per hectare on an average is earned.
