Abstract This review paper explores the innovative irrigation strategies essential for cultivating lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) in arid and semi-arid regions, where water scarcity poses significant agricultural challenges. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of various modern irrigation techniques, including drip irrigation, fog and dew collection systems, solar-powered irrigation, and the use of hydrogels. These methods have been shown to enhance water use efficiency, increase crop yields, and provide economic benefits. Through case studies from Morocco, India, Chile, and Australia, the paper illustrates the practical applications and successes of these technologies. The discussion extends to the economic impact and sustainability of adopting these methods, emphasizing the reduction in water costs, increased profitability, and environmental benefits. The paper concludes with future perspectives on advancing irrigation technologies, the genetic improvement of lemon grass, and the role of policy support in promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This study underscores the importance of integrating innovative irrigation techniques to ensure the long-term viability and resilience of agriculture in water-limited regions.
