- Abstract:
-
The Vetiver grass technology (VGT) using the hedgerow formed by vetiver-a fast growing, deep rooted clump grass has been promoted by the World Bank to mitigate the worldwide soil erosion problem.The VGT was developed through the field experience accumulated from the applications in many tropical and subtropical countries.VGT is cheap, easy in implementation and yet with adequate effect.The applications of VGT in slope stabilization are introduced with the worldwide experience, which included the protection of the slope of dam, spillway, and flooded structure.The implementation of the VGT was also noted briefly.
