Aromatic and Medicinal Plants Research Station, Odakkali is a research Station under the Central Zone of Kerala Agricultural University at Odakkali in Ernakulam district of Kerala, India. This station was established in 1951 as Lemongrass Breeding Station by the Travancore-Cochin Government. Later in 1972 after the formation of Kerala Agricultural University the research station was brought under the control of KAU. The station was renamed as Aromatic and Medicinal Plants Research Station (AMPRS) in 1982.
