Abstract
During COVID-19 total lockdown situation, the previously established parental plants of Cymbopogon jwarancusa had favorable, unrestricted and equal chance of cross pollination among themselves. This was followed by undisturbed anemochory of spikelets, growth and development of progenies nearby the parental plants. The specific seasonal wind, blowing from north to south direction was responsible for fruitful dispersal of spikelets followed by their anchoring in soil, successful establishment amidst other weeds and vegetative luxuriance. Morphometric and chemometric analysis of twenty two characters in forty four progenies lead to the selection of seven putative candidate progenies viz. progenies - 3, 10, 13, 19, 34, 35 and 38 that performed better than the remaining selections in the population in their respective characters. The progeny-3 was relatively superior to the remaining six selections.
