Book Synopsis Vetiver Grass by : John C. Greenfield
Download or read book Vetiver Grass written by John C. Greenfield and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1990 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook has been prepared to support fieldworkers and farmers in developing vegetative systems of soil and mositure conservation that will meet the requirements of small farmers in developing countries, most of whom reside in the tropics and semitropics. Experience has shown that conventional systems of earth bunds or terraces on small farms are expensive and in many cases, especially in modern times, ineffective. When applied correctly, vegetative systems of soil and mositure conservation - particulary the system of hedges of vetiver grass described in this handbook - have proved cheaper and more effective.
