INTRODUCTION
 Good agriculture and collection practices for medicinal plants (GACP)
are a set of guidelines developed in 2003 by the WHO, with the view to
improve the quality of medicinal plant material being used in herbal
medicines.
As per WHO reports, ( 65-80%) of the world’s population seek plants or
plant- derived natural products for various diseases.
To maintain the consistency in demand and medicinal effects of plants
GACP provides suitable collection practices for each medicinal plant
species and plant part used ( roots, leaves, fruits etc. )
Raw medicinal plant materials should meet all applicable national/
regional quality standards.
The WHO guidelines on good agricultural and collection practices
(GACP) for medicinal plants are mainly intended to provide general
technical guidance on obtaining medicinal plant materials of good
quality for the sustainable production of herbal products classified as
medicines.
Quality control directly impacts the safety and efficacy of herbal
medicinal products.
 GACP for medicinal plants is only the first step in quality assurance,
on which the safety and efficacy of herbal medicinal products. and will
also play an important role in the protection of natural resources of
medicinal plants for sustainable use.
 The main objectives of the GACP
guidelines
• To contribute to the quality assurance of medicinal plant materials used
as the source for herbal medicines, which aims to improve the quality,
safety and efficacy of finished herbal products.
• To guide the formulation of national and/or regional GACP guidelines
and GACP monographs for medicinal plants and related standard
operating procedures.
• To encourage and support the sustainable cultivation and collection of
medicinal plants of good quality in ways that respect and support the
conservation of medicinal plants and the environment in general
Good Collection Practices for medicinal plants
• Collection practices should confirm the long term survival of wild
populations and their associated habitats.
• Management plans for collection should provide a framework for setting
sustainable harvest levels and describe appropriate collection practices
that are suitable for each medicinal plant species and plant part used
(roots, leaves, fruits, etc.).
• The collection of medicinal plants raises several complex environmental
and social issues that vary widely from region to region.
CURRENT STATUS AND NEED OF GCP
• Medicinal plants play major role in all the system of medicine available
today.
• Increased global demand of medicinal plants leads to inappropriate
collection of plants from its natural habitat and leading to extinction
• As the medicinal plants are not available as it needed there are
adultrations of drugs
• Due to the use of adultered drugs the efficacy of the medicine is also
questioned.
• Global guidelines provided by WHO helps in reducing the controversies
• It helps in sustainable plant collection
• It helps in maintaining authenticated drug collection

 GAP Guidelines for Medicinal Plants
• GAP guidelines assure full protection to the plant materials from the factors deteriorating the
quality of medicinal plants.
• Guidelines as proposed by WHO, aims to achieve quality assurance of the herbal medicine by
increasing the standards of medicinal plant material right from its cultivation, collection and post
harvest operations.
• WHO GAP and GACP guidelines also intend to guide the formulation of national GAP & GACP
guidelines and aims to prepare monographs of medicinal plants
• It also encourages supporting sustainable cultivation and also promotes conservation of medicinal
plants.
• Implementation of GAP would promote optimum utilization of water resources, pesticides,
fertilizers and would provide eco-friendly agriculture.
• Its social dimension also includes protecting the agricultural workers’ health from improper use of
chemicals and pesticides
 1. Permission to collect

• Sufficient time for the processing and issuance of these permits must be allocated at the
planning stage.
• One should get the authenticated permission to collect the medicinal plants from the
government authorities.
• Sufficient time for the processing and issuance of these permits must be allocated at the
planning stage.
• National legislation, such as national “red” lists, should be consulted and respected.
• For medicinal plant materials intended for export from the country of collection, export
permits, phytosanitary certificates, Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) permit(s) (for export and import), CITES
certificates (for re-export), and other permits must be obtained, when required.
2. Technical planning
• Prior to initiating a collection expedition, the geographical distribution and
population density of the target medicinal plant species should be determined.
•When the collection sites have been identified, local and/or national collection
permits should be obtained.
•Essential information on the target species (taxonomy, distribution, phenology,
genetic diversity, reproductive biology and ethnobotany) should be obtained.
Data about environmental conditions, including topography, geology, soil,
climate and vegetation at the prospective collecting site(s), should be collated
and presented in a collection management plan.
•Research on the morphology of the target medicinal plant species and
variability of its populations should be carried out in order to develop a “search
• Copies of photographs and other illustrations of the target medicinal plant(s) from
books and herbarium specimens, and ethnographical information (common or local
names) of the target species and plant parts are useful field instruments, especially
for untrained workers.
• Rapid, safe and dependable transportation to carry personnel, equipment, supplies
and collected medicinal plant materials should be arranged in advance.
• A collection team familiar with good collecting techniques, transport, and handling
of equipment and medicinal plant materials, including cleaning, drying and storage,
should be assembled.
• The social impact of field collection on local communities should be examined and
the ecological impact of field collection activities should be monitored over time.
• The stability of the natural habitat(s) and the maintenance of sustainable
populations of the target species in the collection area(s) must be ensured.
• Training of personnel should be conducted regularly.
• The stability of the natural habitat and the maintenance of sustainable populations
of the target species in the collection area must be ensured.
3. Selection of medicinal plants for collection
• Where applicable, the species or botanical variety selected for collection should be the same as
that specified in the national pharmacopoeia or recommended by other authoritative national
documents of the end-user's country, as the source for the herbal medicines concerned.
• Collectors of medicinal plants and producers of medicinal plant materials and herbal medicines
should prepare botanical specimens for submission to regional or national herbaria for
authentication.
• The species or botanical variety selected for collection should be the same as that specified in the
national pharmacopoeia as the source for the herbal medicines concerned.
• The name of the botanist or other experts who provided the botanical identification or
authentication should be recorded.

• If the medicinal plant is not well known to the community, then documentation of the botanical
identity should be recorded and maintained.
 4. Collection
• Collection practices should ensure the long-term survival of wild populations
and their associated habitats.
• Management plans should refer to the species and the plant parts (roots,
leaves, fruits, etc.) to be collected and should specify collection levels and
collection practices.
• Medicinal plant materials should be collected during the appropriate season or
time period to ensure the best possible quality of both source materials and
finished products.
• The best time for collection (quality peak season or time of day) should be
determined according to the quality and quantity of biologically active
constituents rather than the total vegetative yield of the plant parts.
The population density of the target species at the collection site(s)
should be determined and species that are rare or scarce should not be collected

 Precautions while Collection
• Only ecologically non-destructive systems of collection should be employed.
These will vary widely from species to species.
• For example, when collecting roots of trees and bushes, the main roots should
not be cut or dug up, and severing the taproot of trees and bushes should be
avoided.
• In the course of collection, efforts should be made to remove parts of the plant
that are not required and foreign matter, in particular toxic weeds.
• Decomposed medicinal plant materials should be discarded.
• the collected raw medicinal plant materials should not come into direct contact
with the soil.
• If underground parts (such as the roots) are used, any adhering soil should be
removed from the plants as soon as they are collected.
• After collection, the raw medicinal plant materials may be subjected to
appropriate preliminary processing, including elimination of undesirable
materials and contaminants, washing (to remove excess soil), sorting and cutting.
• When collecting species whose bark is the primary material to be used,
the tree should not be girdled or completely stripped of its bark;
longitudinal strips of bark along one side of the tree should be cut and
collected.
• Medicinal plants should not be collected in or near areas where high
levels of pesticides or other possible contaminants are used.
• In the course of collection, efforts should be made to remove parts of
the plant that are not required and foreign matter.
• Collected material should be placed in clean baskets, mesh bags,
other well aerated containers or drop cloths that are free from
foreign matter, including plant remnants from previous collecting
activities.
• The collected medicinal plant materials should be protected from
insects, rodents, birds and other pests, and from livestock and
domestic animals.
• If more than one medicinal plant part is to be collected, the
different plant species or plant materials should be gathered
separately and transported in separate containers.
 5. Personnel
• Local experts responsible for the field collection should have formal or
informal practical education and training in plant sciences and have
practical experience in fieldwork.
• Field personnel should have adequate botanical training, and be able to
recognize medicinal plants by their common names and, ideally, by their
scientific (Latin) names.
• The collection team should take measures to ensure the welfare and
safety of staff and local communities during all stages of medicinal plant
sourcing and trade.
• All personnel must be protected from toxic and dermatitis-causing plants,
poisonous animals and disease- carrying insects.
• They are also responsible for the supervision of workers and the full
documentation of the work performed.
• Local experts should serve as knowledgeable links between non-local
people and local communities and collectors.
• All collectors and local workers involved in the collection operation
should have sufficient knowledge of the species ( nature of growth and
development) targeted for collection.
• Appropriate protective clothing, including gloves, should be worn when
necessary.
• Medicinal plant materials should be collected during the appropriate
season or time period to ensure the best possible quality of both
source materials and finished products.
• The best time for collection (quality peak season or time of day)
should be determined according to the quality and quantity of
biologically active constituents rather than the total vegetative yield
of the plant parts.
GUIDELINES FOR COLLECTION AND POST-HARVEST MANAGEMENT OF
VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF MEDICINAL PLANT PRODUCE
• The whole plant is used as a medicinal plant produce only in a few cases.
Often it is one or more part like root, bark, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits,
seeds of the species, which constitute the officially accepted produce.
While the general guidelines for harvesting and post-harvest management
are applicable to any collected part, the specific plant parts need additional
care, Annex E.
• Ayurveda, recommends collecting different parts of the plants in different
seasons.
• This was perhaps done keeping in view the optimum activity of herbs when
harvested at a specific season. Further, collecting the parts from the plant at
a season when it causes the minimum harm to the plant is also important

1. Underground parts
• The roots of annual plants must be dug when the plants are well
developed and mature.
• Roots of perennials should be harvested late in the fall or early in the
spring. Roots of biennial should be collected in either the fall of the first
year or spring of the second year.
• The root material that is rich in essential oils should be handled carefully
to prevent bruising of the epidermis, where the oils typically reside, which
could result in loss of essential oil or its degradation.
• Unless otherwise required for any specific species, underground parts
like roots and rhizomes should be collected only after the seed shedding.
It also facilitates regeneration of species

Plants Board Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
 Underground parts continued ..
• Where taproot is the desired produce and needs to be uprooted, harm
to other plant species in the vicinity should be minimized.
Underground parts should be collected with minimum possible
digging by using appropriate tools.
• When roots of species that are propagated vegetatively in nature are
collected, enough underground part should be left at site to allow
regeneration.
• It must be ensured that underground parts are thoroughly washed
and thereafter dried to reduce the moisture content before packing
the produce.

 2 Annual herbs/ Whole plants
• When collecting whole herbaceous plant, or its aerial parts, the harvesting should be done
at flower bud or flowering stage but prior to any visual decline in any of the plant parts.
• Whole population in a given area should never be harvested. Adequate population should
be left in nature for regeneration to facilitate future collections.
• Use of mathematical procedures including computer software to estimate collection of
individuals from a population may be resorted when target area is large to ensure even
harvesting throughout the habitat.
• Annuals, especially small herbs, creepers, grasses are more prone to contamination as well
as cross-contamination. It is easier to sort the annuals immediately after the collection
rather than after drying.
• Aromatic plants and delicate parts like pistils or stamens of the other plants should not be
dried in direct sunlight. If these are collected in wet conditions, they should be shifted to
the shade as soon as the external moisture has been removed.

 3 Stem Bark
• Stem bark should not be harvested when the tree is under new growth (like spring season)
• As far as possible, the bark should be collected from mature branches of the trees leaving the
main trunk intact. Bark from entire branch or trunk should not be taken at one time.
• Girdling of trees or branches by removing the bark all the way around should not be done,
unless the tree is to be felled for other purposes like, timber. Bark should be stripped
longitudinally (partially along the length of the stem) to allow smooth conduction of water and
nutrients.
• Stem bark should not be collected again from same tree unless adequate time has been allowed
for it to be reformed completely. It should not be collected from immature trees or branches
• The rhytidome (outer dead bark) should be removed except where it is the usable part of the
produce
• The bark should be split in pieces of appropriate size to ensure complete drying
• Unless otherwise required in specific cases, barks should be dried in direct sunlight

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
 4 Stem or wood
• Only select mature branches of a tree or shrub should be harvested at a
time. The branches from the same plant should not be harvested every
year. Where the trunk is used as medicinal produce, the main axis should
be harvested.
• The produce should be cut in smaller pieces to facilitate faster drying,
packaging and storage of the produce.
• In case of wood, the material can be made into small chips or shavings
to facilitate drying and packaging.
• Unless otherwise required in specific cases, stems and woods should be
dried in direct sunlight.

 5 Leaves
• The leaves of herbaceous plants should be collected before their flowering, unless
otherwise specified.
• As far as possible, leaves should be collected from mature trees. Where bio-active
contents in the leaves do not fluctuate with age, the collection could be extended to
later stage also.
• The source plant should not be ripped off the leaves completely. Certain percentage
of leaves should be left to ensure normal physiological processes of the plant.
• Trees, shrubs or their branches should not be chopped to facilitate the collection of
otherwise inaccessible leaves.
• Tender leaves should not be harvested unless they constitute the officially
recognized produce. Leaves turned pale, those infected, deficient and unhealthy
should be discarded.

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
 Leaves continued ..
• Generally leaves should not be dried in direct sunlight, unless they have external moisture, in
which case they may initially be dried in direct sunlight for some time and be shifted to shade
or indirect sunlight as soon as the external moisture is wiped dry. The produce should be turned
periodically while drying to facilitate faster and even drying.
• Packing of the leaves should be done after ensuring the complete drying. Even a small amount
of moisture present in some leaves, may invite fungal contamination and spoilage of whole lot.
• Leaf material rich in essential oil must be handled carefully to avoid bruising of the leaves that
could result in loss of essential oil or its degradation.
• The leaves should be harvested during the season when growth and leaf production is the
highest.
• When environmental conditions are stressful for the plants leaf harvesting should be postponed
or should be harvested in less quantity.
• If the leaf size is decreasing the rate of harvest should be lowered as it indicates stressful
condition.

 6 Flower and floral parts
• Flowers must be harvested (or if specified, flowering tops) when they have just
opened or shortly afterwards to capture its aroma.
• The flower buds must be collected before the buds open and in early morning
hours. In this case the departure of insects must be encouraged by shaking the
materials.
• The flowers rich in essential oils must be handled carefully to prevent bruising
that could result in essential oil degradation.
• All the flowers from perennials like shrubs, trees and climbers should not be
harvested completely. Similarly, flowers from a complete population of annual
plants should not be collected at a time.
• Enough flowers must be left over the plants to allow the natural process of
pollination,

 Flower and floral parts continued ..
• Floral parts like stigma, anthers, petals etc should be collected at
appropriate time of their maturity to ensure the availability of desired
active substance.
• The delicate flowers and floral parts should not be dried in direct sun
light. Flowers that are fleshy (like Madhuca indica) may be initially
dried in sun to get rid of surface moisture and shifted to shade or
indirect sunlight afterward.
• Medicinal plant produce consisting of flowers and floral parts should
be packed in moisture resistant well-protected containers, away from
direct sun light.

 7 Fruits and seeds
• Fruits and seeds should be collected only on maturity unless immature ones
constitute the medicinal produce
(e.g. Emblica officinalis, Aegle marmelos) except the fruit of family Apiaceae that
dehisce on drying should also be collected before maturation .
• In case of shrubs and trees, all the fruits from individual plant should not be
collected at a time leaving behind a few healthy ones for further multiplication of the
species. Similarly, the whole population of annuals should not be ripped off all the
fruits and seeds at a time.
• Trees, shrubs or their branches should not be cut for ease of collection of fruits and
seeds
• Immature, infected and deformed fruits should be separated and discarded
appropriately
STANDARD FOR GOOD FIELD COLLECTION PRACTICES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS, DOC: NMPB-GFCP-01(FD) National Medicinal Plants Board Department of AYUSH,
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
Fruits and seeds continued ..
• If the medicinal plant produce consists of fresh fruits (e.g. Phyllanthus
emblica) the same should be transported to cold storage or pulping units
immediately after harvesting.
• Wherever required, seeds should be removed completely from the fruit
rind before they are traded
• As per the need of the produce, fruits may be split or cut into small
pieces to facilitate drying and packaging
• Complete drying of fruits should be ensured before they are packed.
Randomly selected individuals fruits should be dissected to ensure that
there is no inherent moisture left.

 8 Gums and resins
• Collectors/collection managers should ensure minimum harm to the mother plant
while collecting the exudates. Only a few small longitudinal incisions should be
made to collect the exudates and the exposed parts should be treated appropriately
to avoid any fungal or bacterial infestation after the exudates has been collected.
• Incisions, too close to the ground, easily approachable by the cattle and wild
animals, should be avoided. The collection container should be designed in a way
to prevent rain, bird droppings and any other such possible contaminations.
• Where there is a likelihood of some foreign matter being mixed with the collect
gums and resins, it should be carefully removed.
• Source tree or shrub should be allowed appropriate recovery period before
collecting the exudates again from them
STANDARD FOR GOOD FIELD COLLECTION PRACTICES OF MEDICINAL PLANTS, DOC: NMPB-GFCP-01(FD) National Medicinal Plants Board Department of AYUSH,
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
 Gums and resins continued..
• Most of the gums and resins, being inflammable, should be packed in appropriate
containers and stored at isolated places. The containers of resins like Damar (Shorea
robusta) and Saral (Pinus longifolia) should be labeled as “Inflammable Material”, while
on transit and storage.
• No fire should be ignited near the base of the tree to increase gum/resin flow.
• Younger trees should not be tapped. The girth of the trees has to be decided below which
tapping of gum/resin will not be allowed.
• Flow of gum is more in hot weather. Therefore, tapping in such species, should be done
between June-October.
• Long sharp cut blazes are best as they give pure resin/gum and the bark heals faster.
Irregular cuts add impurities to the resin. Long cuts are better as they provide more area for
exudation and heal faster. Square and round cuts take longer time to heal as the distance
between the two walls is more.
• Sharp knives or chisels can be used to make blazes.

 9 Others (Galls, Lac etc.)
• Galls should be collected only from stipulated species (Karkatshringi
from Pistacia intergerrima.).
• Collectors must ensure that no live insects are present inside the galls
Post harvest management of galls should be done at an isolated place
and the content should be packed and stored appropriately so as to
avoid possible infestation of other produce

Conclusion and Future Recommendations
• More than 70% of the Indian population depends upon the botanicals directly and indirectly and India has
emerged as a second largest country in export of medicinal plants.
• But still there is lack of awareness amongst the population regarding Good Agriculture and Collection
Practices of herbal raw materials.
• India still lacks behind in developing the monographs on GAP of medicinal plants.
• Our food chain is prone to become toxic in years as there is over use of pesticides in the field.
• No proper training is provided to the farmers regarding GAP & GACP of medicinal plants resulting in
over utilization of natural resources.
• We strongly recommend implementation of GAP and GACP for medicinal plants to ensure the quality
assurance of herbal medicines and also increasing the yield of the crop.
• Implementing GAP & GACP will eventually result in increasing trade of medicinal plants.
• It is further proposed to develop of GAP & GACP monographs of Indian medicinal plants with proper
documentation of Indian medicinal plants covering all aspects of cultivation and utilization.
• With the support of government and local agencies these monographs may be then implemented at grass
root level to train farmers for production of quality herbal raw material, which may lead to their financial
sustenance and better livelihood.
Points to Remember

It is important to follow authenticated protocol for the collection of

the medicinal plants.
This collection methods following which will give good quality
medicinal plants, there by authenticity of medicine prepared out of it
and its efficacy will be ensured.
