The analysis of citronella oil content shows that the quality of citronella was 39.05% – 49.01% with the highest citronella content in PS02 accession (49.01%). Meanwhile, the distillation results show a general yield value of 0.83% - 2.08% with the highest yield is obtained by PS04 accession (2.08%).
Citronella is a perennial plant. In fact, there are two types of citronella. Citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus) and citronella geraniums (Pelargonium citrosum). Both types of plants are perennial in warm climates. Citronella is perennial in warm climates but can be grown as an annual in cooler areas.
Citronella oil obtained from hydrodestylation of the leaves of the citronella plant (Cymbopogon nardus) is composed of several tens of compounds, but the characteristic of the aroma is determined by two or three compounds. In the last three years Java lemongrass oil (C. winterianus) is one type of potential
Citronella needs full sun to part sun. Provide it with morning sun and afternoon shade. Six hours of sun a day is optimal. A loamy soil pH of 6.5 is best. Add plenty of organic matter to the soil before planting. Citronella needs plenty of water and nutrients but likes well-draining soil to avoid wet roots.
A plant of the moist, lowland tropics, where it is found at elevations up to 1,500 metres. It grows best in areas where annual daytime temperatures are within the range 20 - 30°c, but can tolerate 16 - 36°c [. 418. ]. It prefers a mean annual rainfall in the range 1,300 - 2,000mm, but tolerates 750 - 4,100mm [. 418.
What is Citronella Grass?
