Underfield, known as "forensic botany," uses vegetable methods and concepts in legal procedures. To provide important information that can support criminal investigations, the sector analyzes plant . Forensic botanists use a variety of approaches to identify plant species and determine their origin. These techniques include creating chemical profiles, DNA analysis, and microscopy. By examining evidence within the system, forensic botanists can develop, validate, validate, or counter geographical and environmental payments.  A combination of accepted and specific regions. By including forensic botany in your research project, you have a complete understanding of legal procedures and plant science. Forensic botanists often work closely with law enforcement, investigators, and legal experts to assess evidence of the system in the context of the entire study. In situations involving missing people, murder, arson and environmental crime, their conclusions are very important. Regardless of its promise, forensic botany must overcome obstacles such as the requirements for detailed plant knowledge as a result of environmental impacts and deviations in the evidence of the system. Technical and methodological developments improve the accuracy and applicability of forensic analysis of systems. It provides valuable knowledge to support legal research in the process .
