The identification, cultivation, improvement, and use of biology with a special emphasis on pharmacognosy.
Derived from eco- meaning habitat or environment and biology meaning life: The environment of life.
Also, derived from economic biology: The study of the use of life for food, medicine, and commerce.
Each species has a dedicated page with cultivation and phytochemistry information as well as my personal grow log (if available). They are listed alphabetically and in full on the homepage.
Plants can also be located according to their typical use expressed as tags:
Plants are also grouped according to their taxonomic families:
This site is basically a collection of peer-reviewed research. The Zotero research collection currently has a little more than 7500 references on dozens of species and general plant cultivation. More are added daily.
Direct references are listed at the end of each species page. Taxonomic family pages have a complete reference list at the end.
In depth analysis and summary videos are available on the ElectricVeg Youtube channel.
Science isn’t cheap. Hosting this site, doing the research involved, and cultivating these plants are done out-of-pocket. If you are capable, I would appreciated a donation to further the goals of this project.
