| Abstract: | The Sweet Herb of Paraguay, Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) Bertoni
is fast becoming a major source of high potency sweetener which produces sweet
taste but has no calorific value. Many research activities on its chemical and
biological properties have been done in recent past. Several countries
including India
have started its commercial cultivation. The published literature on this crop
is quite scattered. Therefore an effort to compile the literature and review
the current status of research and development including cultivation practices
has been done in this paper. |
