| Abstract: | With ever increasing population and fast depletion
of natural resources, it becames necessary to explore the possibilities of using
newer plant resources. New crops and new usages of old ones hold promise to
restore the balance of trade, reduce our dependence on imports and to meet the
growing needs of food, clothes and industrial products for human population.
This paper provides a brief overview of such under utilized and potential
industrial crops, viz. guayule (for rubber), jojoba, Jatropha, tumba and Paradise tree (for
edible oil). This account includes data mainly based on field experience,
markets surveys, ethno-botanical information and available relevant literature.
The results of recent efforts on under utilized plants in the industrial crop
group, made under the All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Under
Utilized Plants (UUP) at NBPGR, New Delhi, towards collection, evaluation,
utilization and conservation/maintenance have also been highlighted. |
