Description
Summary:Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) is a commodity plant that produces essential oils. In this study, we chose citronella as an alternative option to be planted in the revegetation program of ex-mining land. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of a combination of manure, jangkos, and solid on the growth and biomass yield of citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) cultivated on post-mining reclamation land of PT Pesona Khatulistiwa Nusantara. The variety of citronella cultivated was Sitrona 1 Agribun, a mahapengiri-type development seed obtained from the Spice and Medicinal Plants Research Institute (BALITTRO) in Bogor, West Java. (It was found that the treatment of the composition of manure, jangkos, and solid had an effect on plant growth variables such as plant height, leaf length, and number of tillers, as well as on plant biomass yields in the form of leaf wet weight, moisture content, and yield with p1 being the best treatment. The yield value of citronella essential oil from each treatment showed different results with P1 (1.7%), P2 (1.63%), and P3 (1.27%).
