High altitudes favours crops like marigold and rosemary herbs.
With rosemary herb cultivation yielding substantial income, more farmers are involved in raising the crop in Talavadi hills in the district.
Farming is the major activity in the hill area that is 120 km away from Erode and is located along the border with Karnataka. Traditionally, cabbage, onion, beans, tomato, beetroot, cauliflower, chowchow, tapioca, ivy gourd and other gourd varieties are widely cultivated in the hill. Since the hill is located at an altitude of 823 metres above the sea level favouring these crops, marigold and rosemary herb was also cultivated in a minimum area in all these years.
