Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides), widely used for soil and water conservation, erosion control, and essential oil production, has two main types:

1. Wild Type (Non-Cultivated or Native Varieties)

  • Found in its natural habitat, typically in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
  • Less commonly used for commercial purposes.
  • Characteristics:
    • Can produce viable seeds.
    • Highly diverse in morphology and growth patterns.
    • Not uniform, making it less preferred for systematic soil conservation projects.

2. Cultivated Type

  • Specifically bred or selected for its desired properties.
  • Widely propagated through vegetative means like root divisions, as it is sterile.
  • Characteristics:
    • Uniform growth.
    • Sterile, meaning it doesn’t produce seeds, reducing the risk of invasiveness.
    • Deep, strong root system ideal for stabilizing soil.
    • Commonly used in environmental conservation and essential oil industries.

Subtypes of Cultivated Vetiver:

  1. Essential Oil Producing Varieties:
    • Cultivated for high-quality roots that produce essential oils.
    • Example: South Indian variety used in perfumery.
  2. Soil Conservation Varieties:
    • Primarily used for erosion control and slope stabilization.
    • Sterile and non-invasive types preferred.

Common Characteristics of Vetiver:

  • Thrives in diverse climates and soil types.
  • Deep roots (up to 3–4 meters) make it excellent for holding soil in place.
  • Tolerant to drought, floods, and saline conditions.

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides (Linn) Nash.) or Khus of family Poaceae, is a perennial grass which can grow up to 1 to 2 metres high and form wide clumps. the plant stems are erect and stiff and the leaves are 120-150 cm long and 0.8 cm wide and rather rigid. Purpose: Essential oil production. Key Features:

  • Known for its slightly rose-like scent in vetiver oil, offering a unique aromatic profile.
  • Highly sought after in the perfumery industry for its distinctive and luxurious fragrance.
  • Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, making it suitable for regions with such weather conditions.
  • Offers soil-binding properties, contributing to erosion control in addition to its commercial value.
