It is also used as a preservative for food materials. The crop of this plant grows well in hilly areas on slopes. Present article is an attempt to collect information about the large cardamom for farmers and researchers so that they can get proper information regarding this cash crop. Researchers can use this information for the development of disease and heat resistant varieties, so that this crop can be grown in the plains of India too.
