Abstract

The effect of different colored shade nets on oil yield of lemongrass was determined. Lemongrass plants were grown in an open area (Control), under black, red and blue shade nets. The effect of these treatments on the oil of the plant was observed. Using soaking method, the plants grown under blue shade nets yielded the highest oil recovery (0.5733%), followed by Black (0.4800%), then Control (0.4533%) and finally Red (0.4367%). At α=0.1, blue nets significantly increased the oil yield of lemongrass, while other treatments made no significant change.
