A hundred farmers in Voi are growing Vetiver, a perennial bunch grass that is useful in soil and water preservation, fodder grass for animals’ feed, crop protection and pest repellent and earning alternative income by selling the grass to interested buyers. Vetiver grass is native to India Among it's most useful applications, Vetiver grass is used in Prevention and Treatment of Contaminated Water & Land, Soil Erosion Control, Slope Protection, etc. It is drought tolerant, wind resistant, fire resistant, and will grow in unfertile soil and rocky areas. It's seeds are sterile and 'Sunshine' Vetiver grass is considered non-invasive. Vetiveria zizanioides (vetiver grass) is also known as “Khus–khus” in India, “Miracle grass” in Thailand, and “Xiang-Gen-Cao” or “Yan-Lan-Cao” in China and Taiwan (Wang, 2000). Vetiveria zizanioides is an eco-friendly plant, and it is the fastest-growing perennial tussock grass of the Poaceae (Gramineae) family (Figure 1).It can prevent soil erosion and is also helpful in the Vetiver System plant suppliers play a key role in the promotion of the Vetiver System. Note: this list is far from complete. We are happy to publish particulars about vetiver grass nuseries, suppliers, and VS installers. Spirit in Action partner Samuel Teimuge has been conducting some fascinating research on how Vetiver grass can help reduce soil erosion along the Great Rift Valley in Kenya. Steep walls and unstable soil in the Kerio Valley mean there is a high risk of landslides. Deforestation has made the problem even worse. I asked The Vetiver Nursery in NSW Australia grows and sells Vetiver grass (Monto) for soil erosion, sewage water treatment and many other uses Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) is a non invasive plant with adaption to large range of climates and soils and can amongst others: (1) reduce soil erosion and rainfall runoff, rehabilitate land and reduce flooding, (2) stabilize and protect soil related infrastructure such as roads, bridges, canal/river/levee banks (3) decontaminate polluted land and water (mining, wastewater, industrial/urban effluent), (4) be used directly for forage, mulch, biomass, handicraft material, and The Kenya Vetiver Network (KEVN) is now a fast growing network, coordinated by James Owino (Egerton University). Its members eagerly expanding their expertise from on-farm applications to infrastructure protection (riverbanks, dams) and water quality improvement (human and industrial waste water, leachate from waste dumps, soil rehab in urban and mining areas).
