Agricultural Benefits of Vetiver

- Food security: Reduced pest damage to crops will result in increased yields.
- Soil conservation: Soil erosion and low fertility are common problems in developing agriculture. Vetiver technology protects soils.
- Exploiting biodiversity: Vetiver is refuge to natural enemies and other arthropods and the presence of vetiver contributes to biodiversity conservation in landscapes that are often left barren during the off-season.
- Sustainability: Vetiver as trap crop host natural enemies, conserves soil and improves livelihoods of users, thereby ensuring more sustainable farming.
- Income generation and gender empowerment: The contribution of women to agriculture is significant. They are involved in time-consuming activities such as managing animals, cultivating soils and controlling pests. Using vetiver as feed for animals or as by-product in weaving or thatching can contribute to gender empowerment through sales of goods or surplus production
