{'wildlife protection act': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'particular plant species': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'crop plant': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'plant': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'ecosystem': [10, 0, 0, 4], 'licence': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'schedule vi': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'genetically': [1, 0, 0, 6]}
Placing a plant species under Schedule VI of The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 means that the plant is considered a "small plant" and is protected in the wild. It cannot be cultivated or extracted from the wild without permission from the relevant authorities. Therefore, the implication is that a license is required to cultivate or extract the plant.
