Aromatic grass record
Lemongrass
Cymbopogon flexuosus / Cymbopogon citratus
Record the lemongrass species and variety, field condition, cutting cycle, expected biomass and distillation plan.
Research-backed starting points
What the institutional sources establish
Regional adaptability
CIMAP centres have developed lemongrass agrotechnologies under irrigated and rainfed conditions for different regions.
Record every cutting
A perennial crop record becomes more useful when each cutting date, biomass estimate, oil recovery and quality result is added over time.
Processing context
The time between cutting and distillation, material handling and distillation system can influence recovery and oil quality.
Farmer advisory
Use local guidance for field decisions.
There is no single national planting month, number of cuttings, oil recovery or citral value that applies to every lemongrass farm.
