An efficient method of processing has been developed for depicting diverse range of material represented in the National Herbarium of Cultivated Plants, National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi. This method is especially suitable for drying herbarium specimens and economic products that are bulky, fleshy, change quality drastically (colour) or separate into parts on processing. In addition, fungal/insect infection manifested during processing was also minimized using this method. Thus this method proves to be an efficient one, less time and labour consuming as compared to traditional processing techniques.
