King of Bitter or 'hempedu bumi' (HB, A. paniculata) and Java tea or 'misai kucing' (MK, O. stamineus were among the potential herbs in Malaysia for commercial production. There was, however, little or no information on the agronomic requirements of these two herbal species. This paper presents data on nutrient concentration, uptake and distribution of 12-week-old 'hempedu bumi' and 'misai kucing' grown as intercrops with rubber trees on sandy soils.
