Abstract

The Paper deals with ecological investigations of phenology of some, medicinal plants such as Andrographis paniculata, Asparagus racemosus, and Helicteres isora.The timing of phenophases is clearly correlated with air temperature, soil temperature, photoperiod, soil moisture but vary from species to species. Phenological changes in response to climate change have a wide range of consequences for ecology, agriculture of forestry and human health.  The first phase of the study is concerned mainly with phenology of these three medicinal plant species. The phenological changes of plants in relation to various phases of their life cycle and seasons is governed by a number of composite factors.
