Since Safed Musli is a native of Bastar jungles, it has been successfully grown on our various farms under different soil conditions (black soil, red soil, laterite and sandy loam), and different irrigation facilities like sprinkler, rain-gun, drip etc. with different pH values and inputs. The fact is established that Musli can grow on all types of soil with all methods of irrigation and other inputs.

No doubt ideal conditions have always been advantageous and yielded good results. We have also successfully tried the fact that Safed Musli grows well as inter crop with other herbs and even under trees like Bananas, Annatto, Mangium etc.

We have also successfully tried the three tier system of cultivation where we grow Safed Musli or any other herb on the land, plant trees or shrubs and grow herbal creepers on these plants and shrubs to enhance the returns and viability and to utilize the land optimally. 

It has been established on our farms that it doesn’t take much extra labor to take care of the three tier system of cultivation, rather it provides natural environment for the herbs to grow. 

We have also tried to grow Safed Musli from its seeds, but results were very poor germination, very delicate saplings, high mortality rate, very thin tubers requiring too much of care with poor results. Also, the tubers takes 3 to 4 years to mature.
