ABSTRACT
The global demand for medicinal plants is growing rapidly, and to meet this demand, commercial cultivation of the plants is needed. However, traditional cultivation methods result in varying levels of biomass production as well as active content variation. Hydroponic farming can be used to produce medicinal plants with superior quality, more biomass output, and higher concentrations of bioactive substances. This system plays an important role in improving the therapeutic value of medicinal plant species.
Keywords: Hydroponic, medicinal plants, cultivation, bioactive compounds.
