Does water stress influence the development of citronella plants and oil production?

This work aimed to verify the interference of water stress and mineral nutrition in the development of citronella plants and oil production. Citronella was grown in pots with average capacity of 2.7 kg of soil and induction of water stress for 10 days, and in different doses of nitrogen and phosphate nutrients.

What factors affect the yield of essential oil from citronella plants?

Yield of essential oil from the aerial part of citronella plants, grown in sandy soil under hydric stress and with different doses of nitrogen and phosphorus (CV?=?12.34%) The environmental factors associated with genetic determination are fundamental in the production and concentration of oils in citronella plants.

What are the chemotypes of citronella oil?

Citronella oil is classified in trade into two chemotypes: Main components: citronellal (5¨C15%), geraniol (18¨C20%) and geranyl acetate (2%), citronellol (6¨C8%), limonene (9¨C11%), and methyl isoeugenol (7¨C11%). Main components: citronellal (32¨C45%), geraniol (21¨C24%) and geranyl acetate (3¨C8%), citronellol (11¨C15%), limonene (1¨C4%).

How do we prepare seedlings from a Java citronella plant?
