Tamil Nadu

The point on the globe is Wikidata’s point for the state, a centroid and not a field; the clock beside it is local time. The page once said the flowers are picked at night; the crop guide says morning, and the page now says so.

The record

Each field carries its evidence: open a chip for the source, the quoted words and the confidence. A field with nothing behind it says so and stays empty.

  corrected 2026-09-27 to the TNAU guide (May–October; oil flowers before 10 a.m.); “night only” is contradicted by HV-3

  where the site says it: /materials, “Jasminum grandiflorum”

  confidence A

• softened · For oil the opened flowers are picked by hand early in the day — before 10 a.m., the Tamil Nadu crop guide says — and a great many of them go into a single gram of absolute. (was: The flowers open only at night, and must be harvested before sunrise — roughly 8,000 flowers yield roughly one gram of absolute.)
  documented · register row 2256

  HV-3 · Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), TNAU Agritech Portal, “Horticulture : · read 2026-09-30

  the picking time is HV-3’s; “a great many of them” is unsourced wording in place of the 8,000-flower yield, which had no source
