Stevia grows best in upland areas in sub-tropical climate. In other places it can be grown as an annual. The plant prefers a lightly textured, well-drained soil to which organic matter has been added. It needs ample water so that the soil is consistently moist, but not wet. In hot, sunny climates it will do best in semi-shade. Propagation is from seed sown in spring, but germination rates can be low-expect half the seeds sown not to germinate. Plant seedlings out once all danger of frost is over. Leaves are best harvested just before flowering. The plants will also grow from cuttings,which are best taken in late winter.The concentration of stevioside in the leaves of Stevia increasing when the plants are grown under long day condition.While, cultivating stevia on a large scale, it can be grown in well-drained red soil and sandy loam soil. The soil should be in the pH range of 6.5-7.5. Saline soils should be avoided to cultivate this plant.

Stevia can be successfully cultivated all around the year all over India expect theareas, which receive snowfall, or temperatures go below 5 degree Celsius in winter.The summer temperatures actually do not affect this plant if the high summer temperatures have already been factored in the cultivation practices.Since seed germination rate is very poor,it is propagated vegetative. Though stem cuttings are used for vegetative tissue culture plants have proven to be the best planting material for Stevia. Tissue culture plants of Stevia are genetically pure, free from pathogens and haveexcellent vigor. The tissue culture plants can be planted throughout the year,expect during peak summer. An ideal planting density is 40,000 plants per acre with spacing of 25×40 cm in a raised bed system. The soil can be enriched with abasal dressing of 25 tons of well rotten farmyard manure/hectare

Soil Type
Stevia requires very good drainage any soil that retain the moisture for very long period of time are unsuitable for Stevia cultivation and should be religiously avoided.Red soil and sandy loam with a 6-7 pH are best for the cultivation of Stevia.

Raised bed preparation
Forming raised beds is the most economical way to grow Stevia. The raised bed should be of 15 cm in height and 60 cm in width. The distance between each plant 23 cm. This would give a plant population of around 40,000 per acre.

Planting Material
There are basically two options for multiplication. The first is the tissue culture and second the stem cutting. Tissue culture is the best option but many farmers are tempted to try the stem cutting method for multiplication. As per practical experience, stem cutting is sometimes more expensive to produce than the tissue culture since the success rate of the stem cuttings establishment is very low, it takes minimum of 25 weeks for the stem cutting to develop in proper feeding roots for transplantation (younger stem cuttings transplants have shown more than 50% mortality in first few weeks of transplants in main field).

Harvesting
Another important aspect of harvesting is the timing of harvest. It should be noted that at no point of time plants should be allowed to flower since after flowering the Stevioside percentage goes down rapidly and leaves are rendered unmarketable. Leaves are harvested by plucking in a small quantity, or the entire plant with the side branches is cut leaving 10 to 15 cm from the base.The first harvesting can be done four to five months after planting. Subsequent harvesting can be done every three months, for five consecutive years. The sweetener in the leaf is maximum till the plant flowers. Just before flowering, the plant should be cut completely leaving 10 cm from the ground. The new flush of leaves will sprout from here. The new plant will be ready for harvest again in three months. The plant yields around 3000 kg of dried leaves from an acre of plantation every year. Harvesting should be done as late as possible, since cool autumn temperatures and shorter days tend to intensify the sweetness of the plants as they evolve into a reproductive state.

Unlocking the sweetness in your harvest
Once all leaves have been harvested it’s required to dry them. This can be
accomplished on a net. The drying process is not one that requires excessive heat;more important is good air circulation. On a moderately warm fall day, stevia crop can be quick dried in the full sun in about 12 hours. (Drying times longer than that will lower the stevioside content of the final product.)
Crushing the dried leaves is the final step in releasing stevia’s sweetening power. The
dried leaves are powdered, sieved and the fine powder is stored in containers. This can be done either by hand or, for greater effect, in a coffee grinder or in a special blender for herbs.

‘The liver is a gland that secretes chemicals required by
other parts of the body. In fact, the liver is the only part of
your body that is both an organ and a gland. A healthy
liver regulates the composition of blood, removes
harmful toxins from the blood as well as processes and
converts nutrients absorbed by the intestines during
digestion into forms that the body can use. It also stores
some vitamins, iron and simple sugar glucose.
Many foods can help cleanse, rejuvenate and detoxify your
liver. Here are the top 10 liver-cleansing superfoods.

Number One.
Garlic.

Garlic is great for cleansing your liver. It helps activate enzymes
in the liver that help clear out toxins. It also contains two
natural compounds called allicin and selenium, which aid
in the liver-cleansing process and protect the liver from
toxic damage. Moreover, garlic reduces cholesterol and
triglyceride levels, which can overload the liver and hamper
its functioning. To promote liver health, use fresh raw garlic
instead of processed, minced garlic or powder. Eat 2 or 3
raw garlic cloves daily and include garlic in your cooking
whenever possible. You can also take garlic supplements,
but only after consulting your doctor.

Number Two.
Grapefruit.

Being a good source of vitamin C, pectin and antioxidants,
grapefruit also aids the natural cleansing process of the liver.
It also contains glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that
neutralizes free radicals and detoxifies the liver.
Glutathione also helps in the detoxification of heavy metals.
Moreover, the flavonoid naringenin in grapefruit helps
break down fat. Drink a small glass of freshly squeezed
grapefruit juice or enjoy the whole fruit with your breakfast
daily. Note: If you are on medications, consult your doctor
before taking this fruit as it may interact with certain drugs.

Number Three.
Beetroots.

Beetroots are another powerful food for cleansing and
supporting liver function. High in plant flavonoids and
beta-carotene, they help stimulate and improve overall
liver function. Moreover, beetroots are natural blood purifiers.

Simply add fresh beetroots or juice to your daily diet.
Make a powerful liver-cleansing salad with 1 cup of chopped or
grated beetroots, 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed extra-virgin
olive oil and the juice of ½ lemon. Mix all the ingredients
together and eat 2 teaspoons of it every 2 hours during the day for a week.

Number Four.
Lemons.

Lemons help detoxify the liver mainly due to the antioxidant
D-Limonene present in it, which helps activate enzymes in the
liver that aid detoxification. Moreover, the high amount of
vitamin C in lemons helps your liver produce more enzymes to
aid digestion. Lemons also boost mineral absorption by the liver.
Make lemon water at home by adding the juice of 1 lemon to
a jar of water. You can even add chopped lemons to it.
Drink this water at regular intervals. If desired, add a little honey.

Number Five.
Green Tea.

By drinking green tea daily, you can help your body flush out
toxins and fat deposits, while increasing hydration levels.
A 2002 study published in the International Journal of
Obesity found that the catechins in tea help stimulate
lipid catabolism in the liver. This in turn prevents fat
accumulation in the liver. This healthy beverage also protects
the liver from the damaging effects of toxic substances like alcohol.
Green tea is also beneficial in treating or preventing liver disease.
According to a 2009 study published in Cancer Causes and Control,
people who drink green tea have a lower risk of developing liver cancer.
Drink 2 to 3 cups of green tea daily. If desired, sweeten your tea with honey.
Note: Avoid drinking green tea in excess as it can have an
adverse impact on your liver and other body parts.

Number Six.
Turmeric.

Turmeric is another popular and effective liver-cleansing
food. It also improves the body’s ability to digest fats.
The compound curcumin in turmeric induces the formation
of a primary liver detoxification enzyme called glutathione
S-transferase. It also helps regenerate damaged liver cells.
Mix ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder in a glass of water and
boil it. Drink it twice daily for a couple of weeks.
Also, include this spice in your daily cooking.
