Abstract/Contents:"Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is being widely used in the tropical and subtropical regions for the purpose of soil and water conservation and environment amelioration. However, vetiver does not produce seeds in normal condition and therefore, produces new plants mainly through vegetative propagation; as a result, its multiplication speed is relatively slow. So it is a very important research topic how to accelerate the multiplication speed of vetiver. Through an investigation to plot experiment and a summary to past experiences of vetiver multiplication, eight aspects that should be noticeable with special referenence [reference] to vetiver cultivation and maintenance are put forth in this paper. They are: 1) the nursery should be located in the fully shining, non-shading section; 2) soil ought to be fertile, sandy and not to be water-logged; 3) fertilization should be considered, especially in the soil short of P element; 4) prior to planting vetiver, the shoots of seedlings had better be cut to 30~40 cm, and their roots be cut to less 15 cm; 5) it is possibly better to plant vetiver obliquely with an angle of 45~60° and to plant it's crown 2~4cm deep; 6) rational planting density, generally 20cm × 30~40cm, is also one aspect to promote tillering; 7) clean out weeds and do not give too frequent cutting, 1~2 times each year is enough; 8) the period of cultivation should not be too long or too short, 1 year is usually best."
