China – Vetiver Research and Development. Recently Liyu Xu, China Vetiver Network Coordinator, sent me the digital text (in English) of a book published in 2003 relating to the title of this post. It contains useful information and data from 1988 to 2003 – a period when there was a lot of vetiver activity following the introduction of the Vetiver System to the World Bank funded Red Soils Project located in Jiangxi and Fujian Province in 1988. The information, that covers most aspects of vetiver and its application, remains useful today and contains items and data that reinforces more recent global vetiver research data.China – Vetiver Research and Development.
