The Vetiver System (VS) is a system of soil and water conservation whose main component is the use of the vetiver plant in hedgerows. It is promoted by the Vetiver Network International (TVNI), an international non-governmental organization.

What is Vetiver Grass and the Vetiver System (VS)? We are a civil engineering company specialized in the use of the Vetiver System (VS) as a cost-effective green infrastructure tool to solve a wide range of soil and water related challenges.

The Vetiver System (VS) refers to the best practice methods for the design and implementation of vetiver grass as a bio-engineering tool, to solve many land and water-related challenges. The correct design and implementation of the Vetiver System (VS) for greatest results involves:

Vetiver is used in tropical climates to stabilize hillsides, stop erosion and define property boundaries. It is backed by more than a century of success. Left alone, its stiff, tightly-grouped leaves can reach a height of eight feet, although they can be trimmed easily with a hedge trimmer.

The Vetiver System (VS) represents a powerful tool in sustainable land management, soil and water conservation, and natural disaster mitigation. Implementing this system involves understanding the propagation, nursery establishment, and planting techniques of Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides), a robust plant known for its deep root system ...

VETIVER GRASS TECHNOLOGY. (VGT) is low cost, effective and easy to apply. It is centered on the multi-applications of Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides). There are many uses covering a wide range of activities in which problems are solved.

The Vetiver System (VS) is dependent on the use of a very unique tropical plant, Vetiver grass – Vetiveria zizanioides, recently reclassified as Chrysopogon zizanioides. The plant can be grown over a very wide range of climatic and soil conditions, and if planted correctly can be used virtually anywhere under

The Vetiver System (VS) is a descriptive name containing many different applications of the Vetiver Grass Technology (VGT) that when applied for a specific use can generate multiple secondary benefits.

2 天之前 · Restoring a watershed shared by multiple owners with a mix of land use practices is challenging, but the Vetiver System offers potential solutions. A group in Kenya is preparing a plan for a 50-hectare sub-watershed, comprising a mix of farm and residential properties near Nairobi, which has become polluted and eroded due to inadequate farm ...

This innovative solution, known as the Vetiver System (VS), is recognized for its deep-rooted effectiveness in preventing soil erosion and protecting infrastructure from natural disasters like landslides and floods.
