    An experiment to study the effect of graded levelsof nitrogen on lemongrass varieties revealed that OD 19 and SD 68 were on par and significantly superior to RRU 16 in grass production and oil yield. RRL16 recorded maximum oil content and minimum citral percentage. Effect of nitrogen on grass and oil yield was significant. Levels of 1 00 kg N and 50 kg N were on par and Superiorto control in oil yield, but 50 kg N/ha was on par with 100 kg N/ha and control in the case of grass yield.

Though the per hestaro yield was satisfactory in S2 find S3 systems individual bunch wsight was reduced in second ratoon. The highest B/C ratio of 3.32 was recorded by Palayamthodan with truoa sucker por hill.
