Clove is one of the most ancient and valuable spices of the world. It is used for culinary,
pharmaceutical and perfumery purposes. It is native to Moluccas and in India it is cultivated in lower
elevations of Western Ghats in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The area, production and
productivity in our country is very low and it is mainly due to the non adoption of improved crop
management and post harvest handling technologies, decline in area under cultivation and incidence
of pest and diseases. Hence, the innovations made in various crop improvements, production,
protection and post harvest handling techniques are reviewed here.
