ABSTRACT
The investigation was undertaken to study the effect of different levels of fly ash and vermicompost on content and composition of essential oil of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus Nees) during the year 2014-2015 at Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Boduppal, Hyderabad. The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Highest herb yield was recorded in the treatment T7 with 6t flyash and 4t vermicompost. Non significant differences were observed for essential oil content and composition. T7 (FA 6 t/ha + VC 4 t/ha) can be recommended where the cost of inputs can be compensated with high herb yield and in turn essential oil yield.
Key words: Flyash, Vermicompost Oil content, Oil composition, Herb yield and Lemongrass.
