The genus Cymbopogon of poaceae family are known to possess essential oil rich in citral content. Comparative study on the essential oil constituents of Cymbopogon is the useful tool in the assessment of diversity. The present investigation different accessions of Cymbopogon citratus were collected from various locations of Kerala assigned with different accession numbers. The essential oil were extracted by Hydro-distillation and subjected to analysis of oil yield and identification of major chemical components.
