Lemongrass grows well in loamy soil with PH range 5 to 8. It is a tropical plant and its growing period requires abundant sunshine. We avoid frost prone area for its cultivation because of its sensitivity to frost condition.
Lemongrass can be grown in heavy fertile soil to poor sandy loams; it can be grown in wide variety of soils. The ideal pH range for its cultivation is 5 to 7.5. It can maximum tolerate pH of 9.5. Soil with water logging results in poor yield and less oil. So it thrives best in well drained loamy soil.
Lemongrass can only be propagated through slips (saplings). Healthy treated slips at least 2 years old are the best choice for commercial farming. It is in good practice to use at least two year old slips for propagation.
We plow the land 2-3 times by using tractors until the soil becomes fine-tilth because by doing so, it gives better aeration. Unwanted plants or weeds should be removed. After putting the manure, the land should be laid into beds .To avoid water stagnation trowel and level the field. Lemongrass slips should be sown directly (40-50 mm insertion). We get lemon grass transplanted into the field during rainy season. Established healthy seedling or slips of 20-50 cm long should be planted during rainy season having distance in row of 50-55 cm apart with plant distance of 50-55 cm within the row. Lemongrass slips or saplings should be planted firmly not very deeply in the soil. To avoid transplantation shock, transplanting is preferred in evening hour. Light irrigation is preferred after transplanting .Within 10-12 days of planting, gap filling should be done. The optimum sapling rate per hectare is 35000.
To get more yield, irrigation should be at right stage. Lemongrass can be grown at both condition as rain-fed crop or under irrigated conditions .Flood irrigation is best suited for this crop .The irrigation frequency depends on climatic conditions and soil moisture holding capacity .In hot and dry climate , it requires irrigation at 10-12 days interval and stop irrigation 7 to 8 days before harvesting the grass.
Farmyard manure of 10 tons/ha (applied during land preparation) and NPK 20:50:40 kg/ha .Top dressing should be done with "N"(nitrogen) of 15 kg /ha in 3 intervals, which should be 3, 6 and 9 month after planting.
Following pests and diseases are found in Lemongrass cultivation -
White grubs, Aphids, Thrips and termites are the common pest found in Lemongrass cultivation.
White grubs and termites are controlled by flood irrigation, water kills these pests. Thrips and Aphids controlled by spraying Azadirachtin 1 %( 10,000 ppm) @5ml/lit water.
Curvularia blotch and Ellisiella blight diseases can be controlled by foliar application of Bordeaux mixture 1% of 2 weeks interval at initial stage of disease attack.
The site for the project has been selected after very careful observation of various factors. The availability of correct cultivation area, electricity, manpower are the advantages of this site at Chukru, Block Torpa, Khunti.
Many factors depend on the yield of the crops, factors like cultivar, plant age, soil, irrigation, climate and cultivation practice. However an average yield of 50 - 65 tons/ha/year can be obtained under ideal conditions. 220-250 kg /ha may be obtained from 2nd year in case of well irrigated crops. Oil yield is low in first year, thereafter oil yield increases and gradually decreases after 4th year.

For good practice, it is advised to use wilt grass for 24 hr at least. Wilting allows the larger quantity of grass to be packed, due to wilting, moisture content gets reduced and more oil can be extracted, thus economizing the fuel use .The equipment for steam distillation consists of a boiler to produce steam, a condenser, 1 to 3 separators and a distillation tub. It is preferred to use chopped grass into shorter length, to obtain the maximum yield of oil and to facilitate the release of oil, further advantage of chopping grass is that more grass can be charged into the container .The steam is allowed to pass into the container with the steam pressure from 1.5 to 2 kg in the boiler .The mixture of water and lemongrass oil passes into the condenser .The distillate collects in the separator as the distillation process goes on . As the oil is lighter than water and insoluble floats on the top of the separator and continuously drawn off, Lemongrass Oil is then filtered.

A Practical and scientific approach will be adopted for the project implementation.
Promoters have the only Moto to produce aromatic oil items of the best quality and induce new ideas and effectiveness at a comparatively low priced for the benefit of the masses. The company is having about 120 acres of land to cultivate moringa/drumstick and lemon grass and extract lemongrass oil there from.
It should be harvested at right stage for high oil yield. Crops get ready within 3-6 month after planting. Harvesting should be carried at an interval of 3-4 months and up to 5 years. Cutting of grass should be done by leaving 15 cm from the ground level. Keep the grass in shade for about 24 hours after harvesting. Then send it to steam distillation for oil extraction.
For good practice, it is advised to use wilt grass for 24 hrs at least. Wilting allows the larger quantity of grass to be packed, due to wilting, moisture content gets reduced and more oil can be extracted, thus economizing the fuel use. The equipment for steam distillation consists of a boiler to produce steam, a condenser, 1 to 3 separators and a distillation tub. The distillation tub is made up mild steel or stainless steel, and perforated bottom over which grass rest. Steam inlet pipe remains at the bottom of the tub. A removable lid is fitted on the top. Loading and unloading can be done in perforated cage with iron chains, which can be lowered in the container with the help of chain-pulley .varieties of condenser are available, but tubular condenser are best among them .The condenser is having one inlet and one outlet by which cold water is made to flow through the chamber to cool the pipes, when the distillate flow through them. It is preferred to use chopped grass into shorter length, to obtain the maximum yield of oil and to facilitate the release of oil, further advantage of chopping grass is that more grass can be charged into the container .The steam is allowed to pass into the container with the steam pressure from 1.5 to 2 kg in the boiler .The mixture of water and lemongrass oil passes into the condenser .The distillate collects in the separator as the distillation process goes on .As the oil is lighter than water and insoluble floats on the top of the separator and continuously drawn off, Lemongrass Oil is then filtered.

The Project is set up in the name and style of Apna Anantha Farming Private Limited. The unit, at present is having three Distillation units to manufacture essential oil.
Aromatic industry has been playing a critical role in the earth eco system. Present day cosmetic industry has become highly dependent on various essential oils, as these have become indispensable natural items for beauty professionals, mainly for various skin treatment and beautification therapy. Also various FMCG products likes soap, shampoo, hand wash is using essential oils to provide skin friendly organic product. There are several factors driving the growth of this market in India. Due to the advantage of natural ingredients and no side effects, essential oils are preferred over synthetic aromatic oils. With the current general trends towards naturals and herbals types of products, the demand for these oils is increasing at very fast rate. An easy growth of these raw material grasses in the state of Jharkhand makes the area a choice place for setting up such units.
The market potential in India and abroad include the driving forces that are creating the demand for Essential oils and contributing to an increased demand for these products. The global essential oils market size was valued at USD 18.6 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% in terms of revenue from 2021 to 2028. The market is expected to be driven by increasing demand from major end-use industries, such as food and beverage, personal care, health care and cosmetics and aromatherapy. Unlike most conventional medicines and drugs, essential oils have no major side effects. Such traits of the product are projected to be the major driving factor for market growth.
In the very initial stage the products will be marketed through various existing dealers and distributors dealing with the same products. We will establish our own marketing division by employing efficient personnel to capture the major share in the domestic market.
