West Java is one of the largest citronella oil producers in Indonesia. Currently, several communities in West Java are still developing citronella grass with local varieties that have been passed down from generation to generation and have not been identified. This study aims to identify the potential of citronella grass in the Cikadu region as a local superior variety. The research was conducted in Cikadu District, Cianjur Regency, West Java Province in May-June 2021. The research methods involved survey techniques as well as laboratory tests. The survey was conducted to identify the morphology of citronella, the characteristics of habitat and its use by the local community, while laboratory tests were conducted to determine the yield and quality of citronella oil. The results showed five accessions of citronella have morphology differences in leaf width and leaf blade stiffness, especially in young leaves whose shoots grew from the middle of the clump weevil. The four accessions include Puncak Sirna (PS) 01, PS02, PS03 and PS04. Citronella grass habitat soil conditions are classified as infertile. This is indicated by several parameters of the soil, including soil pH levels classified as acidic to slightly acidic, C-organic content is classified as very low to very high, cation exchange capacity (CEC) levels are classified as very low to very high and Base Saturation (KB) is classified as very low to high. The analysis of citronella oil content shows that the quality of citronella was 39.05% – 49.01% with the highest citronella content in PS02 accession (49.01%). Meanwhile, the distillation results show a general yield value of 0.83% - 2.08% with the highest yield is obtained by PS04 accession (2.08%). Citronella oil refining is quite economical and is capable of empowering communities living around forest in research location. In general, the research indicates that citronella grass accessions in Cikadu have the potential to be cultivated and developed as superior local varieties of West Java. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
