Lemon Grass, is a perennial grass grown for its fragrant leaves and stalks which are used as a flavoring.
It is mainly cultivated in many parts of tropical and sub-tropical South East Asia and Africa.
India grows Lemon Grass in 3,000 hectares which produces around 300-350 tonnes/year.
In India Lemon Grass is mainly cultivated in Punjab, Kerala, Assam, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Lemon Grass grows well in both tropical and subtropical climates at an elevation upto 900 m.
Ideal conditions for cultivating Lemon Grass are warm and humid climates with sufficient sunshine and 250-330 cm rainfall per annum.
A temperature ranging from 20°C -30°C and good sunshine throughout the year is conducive to high crop yield.
Lemon Grass can grow well over medium fertile soils and moderate irrigation.
Well drained sandy loam is most suitable for the growth of the plant.
