Abstract | This review paper explores the optimization of agronomic practices for enhancing lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) yield in saline environments, particularly within the Indian context. Saline soils, prevalent in regions such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, present significant challenges to agricultural productivity. Effective management of soil fertility, irrigation, and water usage is crucial for overcoming the adverse effects of salinity. The paper discusses various strategies, including the application of organic and inorganic soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, farmyard manure), appropriate irrigation techniques (such as drip irrigation and leaching), and efficient water management practices. These techniques have been shown to improve soil health, reduce salt accumulation, and enhance plant growth, leading to better lemongrass yields. The review also highlights the role of nutrient management and crop-specific cultivation practices in mitigating salinity stress. The integration of modern technologies, such as soil moisture sensors and optimized fertilizer application, is essential for improving water use efficiency and overall crop productivity. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of agronomic practices that can help increase the sustainability and profitability of lemongrass cultivation in saline-prone areas of India, ensuring higher biomass and essential oil yields. |
