1. Introduction to Jasmine Production Jasmine is a beloved flowering plant known for its intoxicating fragrance and delicate beauty. Cultivating jasmine requires specialized techniques to ensure a bountiful and high-quality harvest. This presentation will explore the intricacies of jasmine production, from planting to essential oil extraction . by Darshit Kasliwala

2. Jasmine Cultivation: 1 Site Selection Choosing the right location is crucial, with considerations like soil quality, sunlight exposure, and climate conditions. 2 Planting Jasmine can be grown from seed or cuttings, with specific techniques to ensure optimal root development and plant vigor. 3 Maintenance Ongoing care, including pruning, watering, and pest management, is essential to maintain the health and productivity of jasmine plants.

3. Jasmine Varieties: Jasminum sambac (Mogra): Arka Aradhna , Single Mogra, Double Mogra,Soojimalli etc. Jasminum grandiflorum (Chameli): Arka Surbhi , CO-1 Pitchi , CO-2 Pitchi , Thrum tye , P in type etc. Jasminum auriculatum (Jooee): CO-1 Mullai , CO-2 Mullai , Parimullai , Long point, Long round.

4. Soil and Climate Requirements: 1 Well-drained Soil Jasmine thrives in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil that allows for optimal root growth and air circulation. 2 Warm Temperatures Jasmine prefers a warm, subtropical climate with temperatures between 60-90°F for optimal flower production. 3 Moderate Humidity Jasmine requires moderate humidity levels to maintain its lush foliage and fragrant blooms. 4 Sunlight Exposure Jasmine plants need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to flourish and produce an abundance of flowers.

5. Planting and Propagation: Seed Propagation Jasmine can be grown from seed, requiring careful sowing and germination techniques. Cutting Propagation Taking cuttings from healthy plants is a more common method, allowing for rapid propagation of desired cultivars . Hardwood or semi hardwood cutiings are usually used. Transplanting Jasmine seedlings or cuttings must be carefully transplanted to their permanent growing location, ensuring a successful establishment.

6. Irrigation and Fertilization: Consistent Watering Jasmine requires regular, consistent watering to maintain soil moisture and support healthy growth. Balanced Fertilizer A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied during the growing season helps to nourish jasmine plants and promote vigorous blooms. Nutrient Management Monitoring soil pH and adjusting nutrient levels as needed ensures optimal growing conditions for jasmine plants. Mulching Applying a layer of organic mulch helps to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth around jasmine plants.

7. Spacing:

8. Pest and Disease Management Aphids Sap-sucking insects that can stunt plant growth and transmit viral diseases. Spider Mites Tiny spider-like pests that feed on the leaves, causing discoloration and webbing. Fungal Diseases Powdery mildew, leaf spots, and other fungal issues that can compromise plant health. Slugs and Snails Mollusks that can chew on leaves and flowers, reducing the plant's aesthetic appeal.

9. Harvesting and Postharvest Handling: 1 Flower Harvesting Jasmine flowers are typically hand-picked in the early morning when their fragrance is most intense. 2 Flower Handling Harvested flowers must be handled gently and transported in cool, humid conditions to preserve their quality. 3 Postharvest Storage Jasmine flowers can be stored for a limited time in cool, dark environments to maintain their freshness.

10. Yield:

11. Jasmine Essential Oil Extraction: Extraction Method Solvent Extraction Steam Distillation Process Flowers are soaked in a solvent to extract the fragrant compounds. Flowers are steamed to vaporize the essential oils, which are then condensed and collected. Yield Higher yield, but more complex processing. Lower yield, but simpler and more cost-effective. Quality Retains more subtle floral notes. Produces a more concentrated, intense aroma.
