Effects Of Salinity On The Growth Of Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria Zizanioides L)

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) has the ability to adapt and develop in many different environments and recover quickly after disadvantageous conditions of the environment. They can well absorb a large amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and dissolve heavy metals in the environment. Studies on salt tolerance of vetiver grass was conducted mainly in the soil environment; however, in the aquatic environment they are still very limited. So, the full study on salt tolerance of vetiver to solve problems of pollution in estuaries - where water quality is often affected by the activities of industrial production, agriculture industrial and human activities become more meaningful. This paper presents some results of a research on the growth and salinity tolerance of vetiver. The research results showed that vetiver grass is capable of growing in water salinity ranges from 0 to 11 ‰
