Abstract
Artemisa annua L. is an annual aromatic herb with effective antimalarial properties due to the presence of artemisinin. The intention of the present study was to establish plant survival, growth attributes and yield attributes of A. annua cv CIM–Arogya with different transplanting months in two cropping seasons under sub-tropical climatic conditions of Madhya Pradesh, India. During study it was observed that the artemisinin yield was maximum (34.03 T/ha) in the plants which were transplanted in month of December and minimum (17.93 T/ha) in the February transplanted plants. It is observed that the crop transplanted in the December is more profitable, as it has more artemisinin content. December transplanting of A.annua is suitable for Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, and it also opens new areas for cultivation of this crop in the country. A.annua contractual cultivation is already adopted by the farmers in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and other states.
