Development and Implementation of Integrated Pest Management in Alberta Greenhouses
Dr Kwesi Ampong-Nyarko























The genus Rhodiola (Family Crassulaceae) is indigenous to Northern Canada, Europe and Asia where its rhizomes and roots have been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. Recent interest in the species Rhodiola rosea (roseroot) in the West arose from the use of the rhizome as an adaptogen for the treatment of stress, but in the last few years, chemical and pharmacological studies have confirmed other valuable medicinal properties.
Written by well-known researchers in this field of study, Rhodiola rosea examines important aspects of this increasingly important medicinal plant, including: Cultivation, Taxonomy, Ethnobotany, Conservation, Phytopathology, Phytochemistry, Pharmacology, Biotechnology.
