SKU:N/A

The monograph on Pongamia pinnata by Dr. M.V.R. Prasad is a significant contribution to the study of this species, as it outlines how to harness the plant preventive and curative properties, as established by Ayurvedic medicine. The monograph also provides valuable information on the genetic improvement and plantation management of the Pongamia pinnata species. The research on the improvement of Pongamia pinnata and its management as a productive plantation is scarce, but this monograph aims to fill that void. Dr. Prasad has been working on oil-bearing perennial trees since the 1980s and has conducted extensive research on Pongamia pinnata. The monograph is a result of this research and provides a clear guide on how to extract the proven and potential benefits of Pongamia pinnata, including its use as a source of green energy. Additionally, it provides information on how to manage and improve the genetics of this species through plantation management.
