Functional Links between Biomass Production and Decomposition of Vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) Grass in Three Australian Soils
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the biomass production and relative decomposition of vetiver which was grown under glasshouse conditions, and the results confirmed large shoot and root production potential of 161 and 107 Mg ha−1 (fresh) and 67.7 and 52.5 Mg h −1 (dry) respectively with 1:1.43 and 1: 1.25 production ratio.
