Vetiver System Research and Development in China in Recent Decade
Abstract
Chrysopogon zizanioides is a perennial herb that is native to India and is now widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. In recent ten years, with the increasingly severe global environmental problems, vetiver as a multi-functional plant has received extensive attention. Its developed root system, rapid growth ability and strong adaptability to harsh environments have shown great application potential in soil and water conservation, biological engineering, environmental protection and agricultural pest control.
This paper aims to review the research progress of vetiver in the past ten years, discuss its application effect under different environmental conditions, and look forward to the future research direction.… Read the rest “Vetiver System Research and Development in China in Recent Decade”

Stakeholders are enjoined to increase the awareness of the vetiver grass for increased adoption and utilization, as many farmers were ignorant of the vetiver grass technology for erosion control in the study area.
Vetiver System and its research and applications in China
This this book by the China Vetiver Network, edited by Liyu Xu, was published in 2003, has been issued as a second edition and contains useful data and information of vetiver research and applications at that time.

The vetiver system a nature based solution (nbs) for mitigation of climate induced land and water problems applied on various sized farms. — focus — larger farms
Although mainly promoted for small farms, Vetiver Grass Technology can work well on large farms, and in many cases can be applied using both mechanical and manual methods. See attached presentation.
