5. Care and Management
 Once planting has been completed, the
next job is to maintain the plants
through fertilizer application,
watering, “weeding” (removing
unwanted plants from the growing
area), Pest and Disease Control;
Harvesting and Post-Harvest
Handling.

 Pest Management

 Use resistant varieties

 Intercrop and rotate
 Pest repellents
 Encourage natural enemies
 Physical control methods
 Last defense: botanical pesticides, other biocontrol
agents (BCA), OHN

MAKING INFUSION
Infusion is made by pouring boiling water over an amount of the herb,
to extract the properties.
Suitable for leaves and flowers, whose parts are easily extracted.
MAKING INFUSION
Standard Quantities:
 25 g dried herbs or 50 g fresh herb to 500 ml boiling
water.
Standard Doses:
 One teacup (approximately 150 ml) 3x daily.

Infusions and decoctions should be stored in

tightly-stoppered vessels ideally, and will last for
about 3 days in the fridge.
MAKING DECOCTION
A decoction involves simmering
the herb in water to extract its
properties, and is suitable for
roots or woody parts that do not
easily yield their ingredients in a
simple infusion.
If combining two plants, where
one is a root, and the other is a
flower, use the strained decoction
of the former for pouring on to
the latter to make the infusion.
MAKING DECOCTION
Place the herb in a saucepan and pour
on cold water. Bring to the boil and
simmer, until the liquid is reduced by a
third.
Strain through a sieve into a jug, and
store in a fridge. It will keep for up to
three days.
MAKING DECOCTION
Standard Quantities:
◦ 25 g dried herbs or 50 g fresh herbs to 750
ml water, reduced to 500 ml after
simmering.
Standard Doses:
◦ One teacup (150 ml) 3 times a day.
