Trans-Himalayan region of India is known for its unique and valuable medicinal plants and Ladakh is major part of trans-himalaya. Verbascum thapsus is an important medicinal plant for traditional medicine. Present study was initiated to develop an agrotechnique for cultivation of Verbascum thapsus in three different environmental conditions that is in polycarbonate house, trench and open condition. To prepare any kind of drug, availability of raw material is indispensible. It was observed that significantly higher production of Verbascum thapsus was recorded in polycarbonate condition 1.95kg/plant fresh weight (whole plant weight) followed by trench 420g/plant and then in open air condition 370 g/plant. Similarly, other agro-morphological features were also observed to be enhanced in polycarbonate as compared to other two environments. Consequently, greenhouse condition is recommended as most suitable condition for large scale production the plant in trans-himalayan region of Ladakh. Similarly, in comparison to some reported data production of the plant was higher in open air condition in trans-himalayan cultivation may also be performed in open air condition after raising seedling in greenhouse.
