Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini var. motia) is a grass native to India, thriving in well-drained sandy loam or clay loam soils with a pH of 7.5-8.5 and a warm, moist climate. It is propagated by slips with a recommended spacing of 60 cm x 60 cm, and requires significant fertilization for optimal growth. The oil extracted from Palmarosa is used in perfumery and as a source of geraniol, with a yield of approximately 80 kg/ha after harvesting 7-10 days post-flower opening.
