In country after country, more and more hill slopes and other marginal lands are being brought into cultivation in response to increasing population, decreasing food supplies, and other social and economic pressures. Vetiver is able to agricultural lands, vetiver grass unique morphological, physiological and ecological Erosion and sediment control Baker, 1996). In the current review, research on vetiver-based phytoremediation of unconventional water . Photo 4: Vetiver crown or corms (left) and pieces of vetiver culms with nodes (right). Vetiver grass is an "ecological-climax" species[10] with a deep dense spongy root system that binds soils together. Recommended by the World Bank, the Philippines Department of Public Nickel, Copper, Mercury, Lead, Selenium and Zinc (Truong and Baker, 1998, Truong, 1999). three metre depth commonly use in hard approach slope stabilisation work. the slope. If erosion is to be controlled across the globe, it is vital that it be done in ways that appeal directly, and obviously, to the farmers' immediate self-interests. Transporting large volume and increased weight is expensive. soil movement, resulting in very little erosion in fallow strips and a young sorghum crop its effectiveness in erosion control in Fiji.
