Effect of Tillers Cutting Height on Quality Production of Palmarosa
Author(s): Hailu Garkebo* and Werotaw Sisay Yeshitila
A study was conducted to assess the role of tiller height on quality production of Palmarosa grass varieties. A field experiment consisting of two varieties (Wg-tejisar-I and Wg-tejisar-II) and four levels of cutting height (20, 25, 30 and 35 cm) in RCBD with three replications. There was tow harvesting time within three months interval all parameters were taken during the course of field experiments. The first cycle data was taken three months later after planting. Even if no significant difference the effects of planting 20 and 35 cm height tiller on the two Palmarosa verities have better plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers. The maximum weight of fresh biomass was harvested by planting WG-Tejsar-II variety with 20 cm long tillers (8.89 t/ha) which have no biomass difference with planting WG-Tejsar-I 20 cm long tillers (8.60 t/ha).
