With a growing world population, nist refprop the need for increased citronella oil. In Indonesia alone, there are 2 types of plants namely lemongrass lemongrass kitchen (Cymbopogon citratus) and citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) 1. Citronella plants originated from Sri Lanka with a tropical soil conditions, moisture, sunlight enough and have enough rainfall. In Sri Lanka the wild plants that live in these types usually have names lenabatu. In 1990, this type of citronella come to Indonesia and cultivated. While other types are mahapengiri, which is believed communities are native to Indonesia.
In the trading world mahapengiri citronella oil from Indonesia's called Java citronella oil. while citronella oil comes from Sri Lanka resulting from the so-called Ceylon citronella nist refprop oil lenabatu's 1. Generally there is no significant difference nist refprop of these two varieties. nist refprop Plant leafy lemongrass ribbon, a bit stiff, red leaf edge or purple, pungent aroma and can be smelled from a considerable nist refprop distance. But in trade, Java citronella oil's preferred European and American consumers because of the quality and superior characteristics of this type of Ceylon. This variety is said to have shorter roots, leaves wider and less rigid and more oil yields of varieties nist refprop lenabatu. So, I wonder now, lemongrass sitronella also called "Java Type" cultivated in almost all countries except Sri Lanka tropic not.
Graminales
3. Leaves resemble elongated flat leaf weeds. Leaf length can reach 1 meter. Curved between mid-leaf to the tip. Bile normal growth, leaves range from 1-2 cm wide.
Bantam: Tonti, Gorontalo: timbuala, Buol: langilo, Baree: nist refprop tiwo embane, Makassar and Bugis: sare
Fragrant: the edge of the leaf color line is not clear, light green leaf color, limp, short (less than 1 m), high oil yield (1-1.5%), high levels of citronellol and geraniol;
Balloon: leaves rigid, gray-green color, aroma wafted, low oil yield, resistant to dry weather, the levels do not meet export quality.
In this subvaretas division, nist refprop sometimes there is still a sub-division of subvarietas again (eg "Balloon Pig" and "Balloon Rhinoceros".) 3 This division aims to determine nist refprop the purchase price of the leaf. In this case the location of the cultivation effect on flavor, yield and content owned by leaves. Citronella cultivation in Indonesia is quite a lot. Especially in the island of Java, namely Central Java (Cilacap, Pemalang and Purbalingga) and West Java (Bandung and Tasikmalaya Kudat). The kind that is widely cultivated mahapengiri. nist refprop This variety has been developed by the Research Institute for Spices and Medicinal Plants (Balitro), nist refprop Bogor. We have already developed several improved varieties of mahapengiri, among others TAN-G1, G2-TAN, TAN-G3 which became known as the G-1, G-2 and G-3. 1
Other countries nist refprop that continue to cultivate and produce citronella oil is Sri Lanka, nist refprop Taiwan, nist refprop Honduras, Malaysia, Guatemala, nist refprop and the largest is the PRC (Hainan Island). While other States which produce small amounts are Argentina, Brazil, Ceylon, nist refprop Ecuador, Madagascar, Mexico, Salvador and the Comoro Islands.
Ground. Mahapengiri citronella plants nist refprop grown on fertile soil conditions. Galuh sandy soil types at an altitude of 450m asl-180. with a humid climate and regular rainfall produces high-quality oil. Results of citronella oil is the highest quality plant extracts obtained were planted nist refprop in sandy soil with pH 6-6.5 galuh. nist refprop whereas soils have a lower pH is not suitable for growing crops lemongrass.
Climate. One important factor in plant breeding lemongrass. Leaves and lemongrass oils are either derived from hot climates with ample sunshine and rainfall per year ranges from 200 to 250cm. prolonged drought and rainfall is high enough to make the lemongrass plant aakan not durable and quickly nist refprop die. In areas that have little rainfall irrigation should be done. Plants that are protected will affect the total content of geraniol.
Planting. Lemongrass plants are usually propagated through the roots at the beginning of the rainy season. Good lemongrass clumps are divided into several sections. Two stems of plants that contain healthy roots are planted in each hole with a depth of 15cm. with fertile soil plant spacing 90x90 cm or 75x75 cm. Closer spacing will reduce the results of leaf per unit area of land.
Fertilization. Due lemongrass plant is barren land plants, so it is not necessary that intensive fertilization, although amm
