Lemon grass was tested with three spacing and four fertility levels under Poplar (Populus deltoides 'G-3') for its performance in Kumaun foothills for two years (1993-1994). The treatment combination S2F3 (spacing 45 x 45 cm and fertility level N250P100K80) proved to be superior in respect of number of tillers (78 and 114), plant height (153 and 150 cm), herbage yeild (57.6 and 68 t/ha) and oil yield (260.9 and 309.4 kg/ha) when compared to other treatments in the first and second year, respectively. The soil content and quality of oil was similar in all the treatments.

Abstract


Lemon grass was tested with three spacing and four fertility levels under Poplar (Populus deltoides 'G-3') for its performance in Kumaun foothills for two years (1993-1994). The treatment combination S2F3 (spacing 45 x 45 cm and fertility level N250P100K80) proved to be superior in respect of number of tillers (78 and 114), plant height (153 and 150 cm), herbage yeild (57.6 and 68 t/ha) and oil yield (260.9 and 309.4 kg/ha) when compared to other treatments in the first and second year, respectively. The soil content and quality of oil was similar in all the treatments.
