dc.description.abstractThe. herbaceous aromatic plant locally known as "mhlonyane" (Artemisia afra) is indigenous to the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. Owing to the importance that this plant has always had in local traditional medicine and, more recently, the discovery that it is the source of a ยท . valuable oil, there has been great interest in its introduction as a commercial "crop". It has thus been produced successfully over the last decade on an experimental basis. Since the plant is indigenous to the area, it can be produced on normal arable land with little management input. Financial returns from even a poor crop of the plant can be more than 50-fold the return from the more conventional crops such as maize or sorghum.
