Khurasani is an important secondary oilseed crop traditionally cultivated by tribal farmers from hilly area of Palghar district of Maharashtra. The genus Guizotia consists of six species, of which five, including Khurasani, are native to the Ethiopian highlands. In India it is considered as minor oilseed crop but it is very important in terms of its oil content, quality and potentiality.
