Abstract:

     As an herbaceous, perennial, and evergreen plant, Vetiver Grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) can be used for the improvement and development of arid and semi-arid rangelands. To assess the interaction effect of organic and biological fertilizers on the growth and physiological traits of Vetiver grass, the dry weight of shoots and roots, essential oils, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and proline content were measured. A completely randomized design in factorial layout with three replications was performed in Malayer University’s greenhouse in 2016. The treatments were mycorrhizal fungi on two inoculated (M1) and non-inoculated (M2) levels and vermicompost organic fertilizer in six levelsof (0) (control), 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80% (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6), which were added to each pot. The results showed that the interaction between different levels of vermicompost and mycorrhiza had a significant (P

Effects of Salinity on Seedling Growth and Physiological Traits of Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides Stapf)

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is known to be survived under the diversesoil and water conditions. In order to study the effects of salinity stress on the seedlinggrowth of the desired species, a completely randomized design was conducted with 3replications. Seeds were sown in the salty-soil plots in the greenhouse. Salinity levels werespecified as 4 control ones including 20, 30 and 40 ...

Nutritional and Antinutritional Components of Vetiver Grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L. Roberty) at Different Stages of Growth

Vetiver grass was harvested at 4, 6 and 8-week old re-growth. The chemical composition and quantitative analyses of anti-nutritional components were determined. The result showed that dry matter and fiber content increased with age while crude protein, mineral content and anti-nutritional components reduced with age. It was concluded that age of re-growth significantly affect the nutrient and a...
