The terpene pathway is required to be activated. Nut grass (Cyperus rotundus), Button tree (Anogeissus latifolia), Vetiver (Vetiver zizanioides), etc., are included in the manure as raw materials as they contain a higher percentage of terpenes. It is claimed that even non-fragrant flowers can be made fragrant by following the prescribed techniques.
