Talk:Chrysopogon zizanioides

Comment
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. [This is all I know. How did it go? Was this a once-off?] [My first effort here. If I have trangressed anyone's rules, I plead ignorance and ask forgiveness. I am willing to learn.] 210.84.54.216 00:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC) clgittins@ozemail.com.au

--- 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)

Genus Chrysopogon or Vetiveria
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)


 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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)

Volcani Center
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]"
