Popis: | Six accessions of geranium (Pelargonium sp. ‘hybrid’) were introduced in temperate and subtropical regions of Jammu and Kashmir. The herbaceous parts in the commercial distillation gave 0.09–0.13% oil on fresh weight basis. The calculated herbage yield (tonnes/ha) and oil yield (litre/ha) varied from 31.5 ± 1.87 to 49.1 ± 2.73 and 32.40 to 57.12, respectively. The geranium oil produced in different regions of Jammu and Kashmir was comparable to that produced in other geranium-growing areas in India in terms of its major constituents, citronellol (22.5–34.5%) and geraniol (13.9–24.7%), respectively. This suggests that geranium can be successfully grown in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
