Effect of organic & biofertilizer on the growth of patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin)

Patchouli was first described by botanists in the Philippines in 1845. Today growing interest in its fragrance has led to patchouli's widespread cultivation throughout tropical Asia. The research is focused on the growth of patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin) and its essential oil production. T...
