Description
Notes on Agave and Furcraea in India - Gyan Books
About The Book: Notes on Agave and Furcraea in India, by J.R. Drummond, is a pioneering botanical treatise examining the introduction, cultivation, and economic potential of agave and furcraea species across India. Drummond systematically describes species morphology, growth habits, and geographic distribution, reporting on field trials in climates and soils. He evaluates the quality and yield of plant fibers—used for rope, twine, and paper pulp—comparing varieties for resistance to pests and drought. The work includes cultivation guidelines, propagation techniques, and harvesting methods, offering recommendations for large-scale plantations. Drummond’s observations laid groundwork for later agricultural and industrial exploitation of succulent fiber crops in India.
