Abstract: Large cardamom gives recognition to Sikkim and hilly districts of West Bengal. It is a spice crop of significant economic importance in these areas. The major causes of low productivity of large cardamom in the past few decades are lack of proper shade management, viral and fungal diseases, lack of improved planting materials, moisture stress conditions and climate change. By using the good and healthy planting materials, application of farm yard manure, weed management, irrigation during dry period, diseases and pests management income of the farmers can be improved. Promising large cardamom varieties coupled with optimum inputs and technologies can increase yield.
