CIMAP varieties
CSIR-CIMAP documents Jal Pallavi and Medini among its Java-citronella varieties.
Citronella crop record
Java citronella
Cymbopogon winterianus
Record citronella species, variety, field condition, harvest cycle, biomass, distillation and oil-quality results.
Research-backed starting points
What the institutional sources establish
Field-specific traits
CIMAP’s Aroma database describes Jal Pallavi as waterlogging tolerant; variety identity should therefore remain attached to any tolerance claim.
Periodic crop updates
Cutting dates, crop condition, biomass estimates and distillation results can build a useful longitudinal farm record.
Do not generalise quality
Oil recovery and chemical composition vary with species, variety, growing conditions, harvest stage and processing.
Farmer advisory
Use local guidance for field decisions.
A single planting density, harvest interval or oil composition cannot be safely recommended for every citronella-growing region.
