En los últimos años, la fitorremediación se ha convertido en una tecnología emergente debido a su bajo costo y sustentabilidad. El propósito de esta investigación fue evaluar capacidad fitorremediadora vetiver agua contaminada con arsénico (5 mg L-1) plomo (10 L-1). Para esto utilizó potable como matriz ya que representa especial vulnerabilidad riesgo contaminarse por estos compuestos a...

vetiver grass is known to survive under diverse soil and water conditions. in order to test its potential of salinity and aridity tolerance ability, the effect of salinity and aridity stress on the growth of the vetiveria zizanioides was studied by growing plants in arid soils that receiving salinity stress. the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, arrangement in a completely randomized de...

Vetiver oil (VO) was assayed for its antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and termiticidal properties. At the concentration of 10_l/ml, the DPPH radical scavenging effect of vetiver oil (93%) in antioxidant activity test was higher than that of 1mM BHT (73%) and equivalent to 1mM _-tocopherol (93%). At 100ppm in cancer cell lines, vetiver oil inhibited the growth up to 89% of SiHa cervical cells, 88% ...

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...

Abstract. Information on forage quality in phenological stage could help range managers to choose suitable grazing method to achieve higher animal performance without detriment to vegetation. Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is a non-native perennial grass that was introduced to the Iran in 2008. This plant is a multi use species that could be considered from different viewpoints. Thus, it...
