The Salvation Army in Australia contributing funds in 2006 to an agricultural project in central China. Professor Xu Li-yu of the Chines Vetiver Network held training sessions in several villages about soil and water conservation. Villagers planted vetiver grass in rows along the barren slopes of a hillside, along with chestnut and some mulberry trees. New tea bushes were planted in a field previously used for wheat.

Are parts of this grass (root/stem) etc. used as an ingredient in the Khus lassi (yoghurt) popular in North India? --Das

Surely 250 tons per annum is an incorrect figure. Johnstaf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.216.54 (talk) 07:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genus Chrysopogon or Vetiveria

[edit]

I'm not sure if the correct genus of vetiver is Chrysopogon or Vetiveria, being zizanioides the specific epithet for both. Can you help me to find a refference to truly say that Chrysopogon is the correct genus? This is because in spanish Wikipedia, the 'correct' genus is Vetiveria. And about the alleged synonym (Vetiveria zizanioides), how can a genus that has another species inside be a synonym of other genus' species?

Sorry If I can't express myself in a good way. English is not my first language. --Avilation2004 (talk) 22:37, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chrysopogon is indeed incorrect. Chrysopogon is a family of of very large flies commonly known as Robber flies. Lepus526330 (talk) 12:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems Chrysopogon is also used as the scientific name, on official sites, for some grasses. Most confusing. Lepus526330 (talk) 12:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:396213-1#synonyms states that Chrysopogon is the accepted placement. There is no issue with a clash with the genus of a fly. The zoological and botanical nomenclatural codes are independent. Shyamal (talk) 14:49, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thankyou. Good to know. Lepus526330 (talk) 18:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Volcani Center

[edit]

I question this addition. It appears to have been written by a child; I can't check the source (it's in hebrew); the researcher in question lists no such paper on his own site; and the place he works--the Volcani Center--has nothing to do with volcanoes, as is suggested by this entry. I recommend deletion.

"Fuel cleaning A recent study, made in the volcanic institute in Israel, by Dr. Nativ Dudai found out that the plant is capable of growing in a fuel-contaminated ground. In addition to that, the study discovered that the plant is also able to clean the ground, so in the end, the soil is almost fuel-free.[9]"
