Abstract
A method of implementing an ecologically sustainable Vetiver plantation, which provides for reduced cost and time for propagating, transplantating and harvesting of Vetiver Grass.
Claims15
A method for implementing an ecologically sustainable Vetiver plantation for multiple applications of Vetiver crops, the method comprising:
- uprooting a Vetiver grass clump mechanically,
- selecting a geographic area based on one of mitigation need, estimated crop yield, and multiple applications based on estimated crop yield;
- transplanting the Vetiver grass clump to the geographic area to yield a Vetiver grass crop;
- providing a first benefit from a first application of mitigating water run-off or soil erosion with the Vetiver grass crop;
- and
- harvesting portions of the Vetiver grass crop to provide a second benefit selected from the second application group consisting of an animal medicament, a consumable, a biofuel and combinations thereof.
