ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to know the influence of planting date and harvesting time on herbage yield, andrographolide content and andrographolide yield of Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata) at Vegetable Research Station, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD with three replications. There are 12 treatment combinations comprising of four dates of plating (1st July, 16thJuly, 1st August and 16th August) and three stages of harvesting (Pre flowering stage, Flowering stage and Pod setting stage). From the results, it is evident that different planting and harvesting treatments have significant influence on dry herbage yield, andrographolide content and andrographolide yield of kalmegh. The crop planted on 1st August recorded maximum values for dry herbage and andrographolide yields. Andrographolide content was maximum with the crop harvested at flowering stage, however highest dry herbage and andrographolide yields were, recorded with the crop harvested at pod setting stage. Planting on 1st August and harvesting at pod setting stage were found superior to other planting and harvesting treatments with highest Andrographolide yield in kalmegh.
Key words: Andrographis paniculata, Dry herbage yield, HPLC, Andrographolide content, Andrographolide Yield.
