The Study on Morphology of Chlorophytum borivilianum in Akot Taluka of Akola District in Amravati Division
Abstract: Chlorophytum borivilianum (Liliaceae) commonly as Safed musli belongs to the genus chlorophytum Ker Gawl. Is one of the potent sources of aphrodisiac medicine in Ayurvedic and Allopathic systems. Morphological studies showed improvements in plant height, flower, fruit, and seed parameter notably the shape and size of roots. In Maharashtra State Chlorophytum borivilianum is commonly available in the Forest areas at the altitude of 1200 metres above M.S.L., In the Western Ghat areas as well as in the Melghat areas. The Survey was conducted in Bordi village in Akot Tahsil of Akola. Since Chlorophytum borivilianum is normally available in Maharashtra the cultivation techniques, sowing, harvesting, storing and marketing techniques are perfected by the Forest Department as well as some of the N.G.O.s like Mittal Musli Farm in Jalgaon Jamod in the Buldhana district which are discussed elaborately in this paper. Plant morphology needs to be determined to identify the morphological markers that only facilitate large scale screening of germplasm lines, but also helpful in identifying the particular genotype.
