With theoretical training methods in the hall and practical training in the field, students are introduced to some medicinal plants such as Gynostemma pentaphyllum, Solanum procumbens, Gymnema sylvestre, as well as techniques for propagation, planting, care, harvesting, processing and preservation.

Organizing training helps people in raw material areas quickly access scientific and technical advances, thereby applying them to production to improve productivity and value of agricultural products in general and medicinal plants in particular.
