Vetiver System for Landslide Prevention and treatment
Vetiver Grass Technology has been mainly used for the repair of landslide sites, rather than in the prevention under natural conditions. For the repair it has worked well in a number of countries including Brazil and Venezuela. It has proven effective on road construction sites in many countries where it has prevented many slips on shallow cut and fill slopes. Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh Highway is one such example where prior to application on the highway there were serious slips
