Stevia

       

Stevia (also called sweetleaf, sweet leaf or sugarleaf) is a genus of about 150 species of herbs and shrubs belonging to the Asteraceae (sunflower) family, native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America (north to Mexico). The species are found in the wild in semi-arid habitats ranging from grassland to mountain terrain. Stevia does produce seeds, but only a small percentage of them germinate. Planting cloned stevia is a much more effective way of reproduction.

Sri Balaji Biotech is undertaking the production of Stevia Plants through Tissue Culture. Plants can be supplied in Poly Bag stage or in Pro-tray stage.
