Senna is wonder medicinal plant. Senna is widely used in Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Allopathy and other traditional systems of medicine mainly because of the laxative property of its aerial parts. The main aim of the paper is to estimate the cost of cultivation and net income generated from the cultivation of senna in Sivagangai District. The present study is based on both primary and secondary data covered only four months period (2011). Primary data has been collected through interview schedule. The total household sample is 75. The secondary data were collected from books and journals and websites. Percentage analysis, averages, and standard deviation were used for the analysis. It can be inferred that invariably most of the sample farmers (73.33 per cent) attributed the reason of high income for the choice of Senna cultivation. However, 19.67 per cent of the sample farmers said that they were traditionally growing Senna cultivation, while 8 per cent attributed the reason of short duration. | | Keywords : | | |
