The Tropical Agriculturist. The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon March 1937

1937

These considerations point to the conclusiOn that the future of the citronella oil industry lies in the better cultivtion of the Lena-batu and in greater care exercised in the extraction of the oil. [...] Apart from the consideration of deterioration the question of moisture content will interest the buyer (as opposed to the seller) from the point of view of the final oil yield calculated as a percentage on the weight of copra as bought. [...] The space between the teeth and the number of teeth vary with the crop to be planted and with the nature of the soil. [...] The experiments were designed to provide in the first instance an estimate of the effect of surface-sterilization of seed and of regular spraying of plants in the nursery on the incidence of these diseases and to obtain information on the relative imporance of the sources of frog-eye infection. [...] The absence of frog-eye infection in the nursery unfortunately prevented any estimation of the effect of the surface-sterilization of the seed in this experiment.
