Abstract
A pilot scale performance trial conducted on artificial autotetraploids of vetiver, taken in conjunction with source diploids and two improved diploids revealed the superiority of the selected autotetraploids. The evolved autotetraploid strain, which has been named Sugandha, exhibited 60% improvement in oil productivity over its diploid control.Keywords
