Default Protact Your Plantation From Soil Erosion permenantly-Plant vettiver on the border

What makes vetiver so popular?
It's perennial and requires minimal maintenance. . Once established, it can withstand drought, flood and long periods of water logging.
It will grow in all types of soil regardless of fertility, pH or salinity. It will grow in a wide range of climates, survives in areas with average annual rainfall between 200 and 6000 millimeters and with temperatures ranging from 1 to 45 degree C. It is a climax plant and therefore even when drought, flood, pests, diseases, fire or other adversity destroys all surrounding plants, vetiver will remain to protect the ground from the onslaught of the next rains. It has a strong fibrous root system that penetrates and binds the soil to a depth of three meters and can withstand the effects of tunneling and cracking. The vetiver system is low cost and extremely effective system for soil and water conservation, infrastructure stabilization, pollution control, wastewater treatment, mitigation and prevention of storm damage and many other applications. Vetiver grass, vetiveria zizanioides, is central to all vetiver system based bioengineering and conservation applications. It can be used in the tropics and semi tropics, and areas outside the latter where there are hot summers, and winters that do not include permanently frozen soil conditions. The roots of the grass have an average tensile strength of Mpa 75 (one-sixth the strength of Mild Steel), and improve the shear strength of soil by between 30 and 40%. Engineers liken them to a "living soil nail".
