Vetiver Planting For Soil And Water Conservation To Response To The Royal Initiatives |
 The vetiver has deep roots which expand and penetrate vertically thus holding the soil together. The tightly knitted clumps also help control soil sedimentation as well as protect soil surface. Both of these extraordinary features of the vetiver not only contribute to soil conservation but also revitalize the soil elements to resume their fertile quality. The grass plantation enhances the richness of soil and preserves water which is instrumental in ensuring the growth of agricultural products of the country. Therefore, the vetiver is considered a “miracle grass” as graciously stated by His Majesty the King.
Natural resources are important to all lives. If soil is deteriorated, no lives can go on. Vetiver plantation according to the royal initiatives is thus a means to rejuvenate soil and preserve water in an efficient manner. The joint efforts in plantation do not merely preserve our land but truly follow the royal path of His Majesty the King, our highly respected king for all Thais. |
