Pests and diseases

    Pest infestation is very low for this crop. Several diseases are reported on lemon grass, but none are serious enough to cause major reduction in oil yield.

    The leaf diseases can be controlled by prophylactic sprays of Dithane M-45 and Dithane Z-78 @ 3 g/l thrice at intervals of 15 days.
