Piperaceae is an economically important plant family. Members of this family grow in tropical forests from South Asia to Tropical America, including those of Africa and Australia. Several Piper spp. from India, southeast Asia and Africa are of economic importance since they are used as spices and traditional medicines. Many plant families have a global distribution, but a few have the rich ethnobotanical and ethno pharmaceutical history of Piperaceae. The pepper family Piperaceae in the order Piperales is commercially important because of Piper nigrum L. the source of black and white pepper. Betel leaf is another economically important product obtained from piper betle. The family comprises about 5 genera of which 2-Piper (about 2,000 species) and Peperomia (about 1,600 species)- are the most important. The plants grow as herbs vines shrubs, and trees and are widely distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. The Piper belte L. P longum L. P. chaba Hunter are the some of the other important members of Piperacea family. The book contains useful information on various aspects of the family starting from taxonomy, botany cultivation to the medicine uses.…

Colour versions of original plates in text. Index. The global changes warranted fastness in food production system and fast foods. In tune with demand crop production also oriented accordingly. However the proverb Health is a Wealth has reminded us to keep vigil on system and method of food production and food safety. The ill effect of conventional chemical based farming is well documented and public realized the importance of organically produced food and efforts are being made to popularize the organic production. India is a Land of Spices each state or union territory in India cultivates one or other spice. Since spices form a part of many medicines the demand for organically produced spices is increasing considerably. Assuming a market growth of 10% in Europe USA and Japan for organic spice products the world demand for organic spices may grow to 57000 tonnes in the next 10 years. Large scale use of high analysis fertilizers and pesticides result in environmental hazards and imbalances in soil nutrients. Since spices are high valued and export oriented in nature it is imperative to keep the levels of pesticide residues below tolerance limits in view of the standards set by the importing countries. Hence the book on Organic Spices is timely and covers all aspects of organic spice production. The topic includes historical spice trade and importance of spices in food chain. Brief account on organic agriculture movement in the world and its present status and opportunity for organic spices in the world market are given. The chemistry and different methods of composting are included in the organic manures chapter will be informative. Microbes play a greater role in agriculture a separate chapter devoted on microbes and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria would definitely enrich the readers. Not only that the topics on biological control of insect pests nematodes fungus and bacteria of spices highlighted in separate chapters would be of interest in organic production system. The importance composition uses botany and varieties organic way of production of spices like black pepper cardamom ginger turmeric chillies and paprika nutmeg vanilla seed spices like cumin fennel fenugreek coriander and their harvest and post harvest processing are enumerated. The chapters on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and organic certification procedures outlined for adoption. This would serve as a reference book for researchers teachers and students besides farmers traders and consumers. 694 pp.…
