A technical guide to vetiver-based environmental applications

Centered on Chrysopogon zizanioides, this reference manual documents the Vetiver System as a practical approach to soil and water conservation, slope stabilization, land rehabilitation, pollution control, and water-quality improvement. It explains the technology behind these uses while also addressing disaster mitigation and the system’s proposed relevance to climate-change impacts. The book additionally presents potential future applications involving carbon sequestration and biomass-based energy. This second edition updates the earlier manual by correcting errors and adding full-color images, making its applied methods and examples easier to examine.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Environmental conservation practitioners seeking a specialized technical reference

Book overview

The Vetiver System relies on a unique tropical plant, Vetiver grass - "Chrysopogon zizanioides", that is proven and used in some 100 countries for soil and water conservation, slope stabilization, land rehabilitation, pollution control, water quality improvement, disaster mitigation and many other environmental applications that can mitigate the impact of global warming and climate change. It has future potential for atmospheric carbon sequestration (carbon exchange credits) and as bio-fuel for power generation and cellulosic ethanol. The Vetiver System is easy to use, low cost and if applied correctly works! This manual describes its most important uses and the technology behind it. This second edition of the manual has full color images and corrects a number of errors in the first edition.
