Growing Stevia for Market: Farm, Garden, and Nursery Cultivation of the Sweet Herb, Stevia Rebaudiana

Stevia rebaudiana is a natural, low-glycemic alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. It's also a promising crop suited to a wide variety of climates and soils

Growing Stevia For Market is your complete guide to growing, harvesting, and marketing stevia leaves and bedding plants. Valuable information is compiled from growers, research trials, and the author's own experience. Includes stevia leaf buyers, sellers, and other resources.

"Stevia rebaudiana thrives in a wide variety of climates and soils. It can be a perennial crop in some climates or an annual crop where winters are cold. However, the cultivation of stevia is fairly new. We've only begun to optimize procedures for commercial production. There is great potential for improvement in stevia yield, quality, and profits. This book provides a head start for academic and on?farm experimentation. Best practices for stevia cultivation are suggested based on research studies from around the world as well as the author's own experience of growing and using stevia for over a decade. Growing Stevia for Market will help farmers, researchers, market gardeners, nurseries, and greenhouse operators succeed with stevia." - from the preface
