A field trial was conducted to study the effect of foliar application (0, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg.L–1) of irradiated chitosan (ICH) on the growth characteristics, biochemical parameters, and yield and quality attributes of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus). The lemongrass essential oil (EO) was extracted using Clevenger-type apparatus and analyzed using gas chromatography (GC). ICH at 80 mg.L–1 increased the carbonic anhydrase activity (21.5%), nitrate reductase activity (17.4%), and chlorophyll fluorescence (14.6%); it also increased the content and yield of EO by 36.7% and 98.0%, respectively, and the citral content by 13.5%.
