Seeds of lemongrass (Cymobopogon flexuosus) variety OD.19, were subjected to gamma irradiation at a dose range of 0 to 30 K rad and its effect on yield attributes was studied. Among the six doses tried, 20 K rad dose effected significant increase in herbage and oil yield whereas significant increase in citral percentage was acheived by 10 K rad dose.
