Lavender in Thailand for Agro-tourism

Answered by: Conrad Richter

Question from: Alan Su

Posted on: September 11, 2004

I want to try growing lavender in the northern part of Thailand for agro-tourism. The average temperature is 77, high 82 and low 67. From reading many of your Q&As, I guess Lady is the best bet. Can you suggest other varieties for my experiment?

There is really no winter over here. What will happen to lavender when there is no winter rest?

If I treat the 'Lady' as annuals, what is its growing cycle period? Because I want to find out if two cycles per year is possible. Anything I need to pay attention for growing lavender as annuals?

The lack of a winter rest season is a problem for lavender. The lavenders with the best flowers and highest oil content all need a dormant rest period. The winters do not have to be freezing, but temperatures should drop to below 10 degrees for an extended period to cause lavender to enter into a slow growth mode.

The other problem with your location is humidity and rainfall. The best lavenders require relatively dry conditions. They do not tolerate long periods of high humidity or excessive moisture around the roots. In these conditions diseases will set in and destroy your crop quickly. It is important to make sure that the water drainage is excellent. Raising the beds 15-20 cm will help. Adding sand or small pieces of gravel will help also.

Your idea of growing 'Lady' lavender as an annual may be your best option. The 'Lady' variety is the quickest to flower from seeds, usually producing a good display of flowers in the first season. If you time the planting well, you may get a good show of flowers before the rainy season arrives. 'Lady' has fragrant flowers, but the oil profile is not usually considered good enough for commercial field production. 'Lady' lavender is popular in North America, but only as a garden plant, not as a field production crop.

Loiked it, would'nt boi it, il'e give it foive. (giving my age away)

GUANGZHOU, China, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Oilseed plant jatropha does not offer an easy answer to biofuels problems as some countries hope, because it can be toxic and yields are unreliable, experts and industry officials warned on Wednesday.

The woody plant can grow on barren, marginal land, and so is increasingly popular in countries such as China that are keen to boost biofuels output but nervous about food security.

But its nuts and leaves are toxic, requiring careful handling by farmers and at crushing plants, said experts at an oils and fats conference.

In addition, it is a labour-intensive crop as each fruit ripens at a different time and needs to be harvested separately. Its productivity is also low and has yet to be stabilised.

M. R. Chandran, adviser to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, told Reuters it would take five years of intensive research before jatropha could achieve productivity that would make its cultivation economically viable. The oil yield of the plant, originating in Africa and still largely a wild species, is less than 2 tonnes per hectare with large swings from year to year.

An engineer specialising in oil and fat processing plants, including for biodiesel production, said special facilities were needed for crushing jatropha nuts as they could produce a toxic vapour.

The engineer, who declined to be named, said his company hoped to seal a deal with a private investor to build one of the world's first large-scale jatropha-based biodiesel plants in China's southern province of Yunnan before the end of this year.
