y JASMINE(Jasminum Species) is one of the leadingtraditional flower of India.

y This flower is used for making garlands, adorninghairs of women, in in religious and ceremonialfunctions, and for producing perfumery oil.

y Largest chunk of areas under jasmine flowerproduction is in Tamil nadu and Karnataka.

y The annual production of flower is worth more than

Rs. 120 million.y Apart from internal trade, fresh flowers of jasmine are

exported to Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka.



y Jasmine can be grown in a variety of climate and soils. Generally, it

prefers mild tropical climate for proper growth and flowering.

y Mild winter, warm summer, moderate rainfall and sunny days are

ideal climate requirement.

y Loamy garden soils are best-suited for cultivation of all species and

varieties.

y With liberal application of manure and assured water supply,

jasmines can also be grown suitably in sandy soils.

y In clayey soil, flower production is hampered to a great extent.y This type of soil can be improved by adding lime and applying

organic manures.



y A number of jasmine species are grown in India.

y Commercially grown important Jasmine species are Jasminum sambac, Jasminum auriculatum, Jasminum

grandiflorum and jasminum multiflorum.y Their brief description is given below:



y It is commonly known as Arabian Jasmine, Tuscan Jasmine, Bela, Belphool, Malliage and Mogra.It is themost common species in India. Its flower word are

white with single or multi-whorled petals.y The leaves are simple, opposite,almost smooth with

prominent lateral veins.

y Its important varieties are:Motia,single Mohra, Double

Mohra,khoya,Rai Japanese and many more.



y Popularly known as Royal or Spanish Jasmine,French orCatalonian Jasmine, Chameli,Jahi,Jajimalli,Mallai andPitchi, is a large shrub in striate branches having pinnateleaves, compound with 7-9 leaflets of equal sizes. Flowersare white, often tinged with purple outside, axillary orterminal and 5 petalled. Large singal flowers aredelightfully fragrant. Flowers are used in making garland,decorative bunches or veni. They are suitable for planting

in shrubbery, arches and pergolas. Presently concrete isextracted from its flowers. It flower from march toSeptember. Important clones of this species are: pin type,thrum type, J.G.1(banglore) etc.



y Jasmine auriculatumCommonly known as Juhi, Jui, malle mokggu, mullai

and ambur malliage, it is a scandent shrub havingshiny leaves with minute lateral leaflets. The plantsproduce numerous star-shaped, white scented bloomsand are very good as loose flowers. The flowers are

borne in pubescent compound many flowered flaxcymes. Black type of this species is grown in homegardens. It bears flowers from spring to summer and inrainy season.



y JASMINE MULTIFLORUMThis typeof jasmine is commonly known as kakada,

kunda, kundo, kundphul, kundamu and tundam. Thisis one of the resistant jasmine, not scented and very ornamental. This species f lowers profusely for longestduration beginning from December to August and

bears complete white flowers in clusters which aregood as loose flowers.



JASMINE ARBORESCENS

JASMINE CALOPHYLLUM

JASMINE FLEXILE JASMINE HUMILE



Jasmine is perennial in nature. They are generally

planted during rainy season.pits of 45cm x 45 cm

size are dug at least one month before planting.

A few days before planting the pits are filled with twoparts of well rotten cow dung manure and one part each of fresh earth and coarse sand

Soil with proper drainage and irrigation facilities and

sunny condition are ideal.



y Pruning encourages growth of new healthy shoots andinfluences flower yield in Jasminiumgrandiflorum,Pruning in mid December at 90 cm lengthfrom the ground .

y In jasminium auriculatum pruning during December and January.

y In jasminium sambac pruning during October end.



y Many commercial growers use only organic manure by mixing one part each of horse and donkey manure. Themixture is applied@100g N,150g P2O5 and 100 K2O over abasal dose of 10 kg farmyard manure/plant/year is ideal for

getting maximum flower yield.



y Pinching of new shoots after pruning helps regulate

flowering in Jasmine auriculatum and Jasminumgrandiflorum which delays on set of f lowering.

y Sometime in Jasmine water shoots are produce which growfaster and yield only few flower.

y

Foliar spraying of cycocel (1000 ppm) twice during vegetative stage increases the production of flower andessential oil in jasminum grandiflorum.

y Mulching is the best method to control weeds.



y Moderate watering is good for jasmine.

y The water should be applied twice a week if there is no rain.

y Watering is to be completely stopped until pruning andfertilizer application.

y

There is an interval of about a month between one bloomand the commencement of the next.



Jasmine begins to flower second year onwards or sometimeseven earlier but economic yield are obtained from the third

year.

It produce maximum flower till 12/ 15 year.

The flower are harvested either in the evening or early in themorning when the buds are fully developed.

The flowers should be handled care fully during harvestingand transit.

To increase the self life the flower buds are soaked inaluminium sulphate(0.1%) or silver nitrate (0.01%) solutionfor two hours and then covered with moist towel and keptunder room temperature.



However no major physiological disorder has been reportedin jasmine.

Symptoms of copper deficiency have been observed in jasminum multiflorum and jasminum nitidum.

Soil application of Cu SO4 and copper chelates are equally effective to correct its deficiency.
