SOTO ORTIZ, Rafaela; VEGA MARRERO, Gilberto  y  TAMAJON NAVARRO, Aldo Luis. Efecto de diferentes densidades de plantación en Cymbopogon citratus Stapf. Rev Cubana Plant Med [online]. 2003, vol.8, n.2. ISSN 1028-4796.

The effect of different plantation densities on the growth, development and plant mass yielding of Cymbopogon citratus was evaluated.To this end, an experiment was made on a red ferriferous soil at the Experimental Station of Essential Oils of Suchel Enterprise Union between 1990 and 1991. The following densities were studied: 37 037, 22 222, 12 345, 6 172 and 3 082 plants per hectare. A design of blocks at random was used. It was finally observed that the plantation densities of 37 037 and 22 222 had the highest yieldings of plant mass.
