Different types of
multiplication
1. Bare root slips
2. Flower inflorescence
3. Poly-pots, net-pots
4. Strips
5. Micro-propagation
![Page 3: GCC - Vetiver Multiplication](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042423/54e694d54a795943458b4c05/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Plant parts naming,
for different multiplication methods
Tiller: one stem with root
Slip: 2-4 tillers together, basic unit for planting a hedge
Culm: the base of a stem producing new shoots
Clump: a poll of grass
Cutting: a piece if stem including a node where it develops roots (flower inflorescence)
![Page 4: GCC - Vetiver Multiplication](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042423/54e694d54a795943458b4c05/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Parts used for
multiplication
Tiller: one stem with root
Slip: min. 2 tillers together, for planting a
hedge (for infrastructure 3-4 tillers/slip)
Culm: the base of a stem producing new
shoots
Clump: a poll of grass
Cutting: a piece if stem including a node
where it develops roots

Vetiver grows new
adaptive roots
above the crown
as it traps eroded
soil

Different multiplication methods
Method Advantage Disadvantage
Bare root
slips
Cheap; little skill & inputs
required; easy transport
Less robust under
hardship
Poly-pots
(plastic,
paper)
Withstanding hardship;
easy transport
More bulky for
transport, more
expensive
Strips For difficult sites (water,
steep slopes); faster
handling & planting; sure
plant distance
Expensive, more
vulnerable during
transport (soil fall
out, strip breaking)
Micro-
propagation
Large scale, fast and
cheap
Needs special
skills & equipment
(lab)

1. Bare root slips
![Page 8: GCC - Vetiver Multiplication](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042423/54e694d54a795943458b4c05/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How to speed up rooting
Four steps to propagate cuttings:
1. Prepare cuttings (split, prune)
2. Spray cuttings with 10% water hyacinth solution, or other rooting medium, then cover for 24h with plastic bags
3. OR: dip in clay mud or manure slurry (‘cow tea’)
4. Plant in a good bed. For fast establishment, add manure and/or chemical fertilizer (17:17:17 10g/plant), and start watering daily (check depth of wetness!)

Cowtea dip
New slips are
stimulated to
make new root: in
fertile clay/mud

For use on infrastructure, in harsh,
hostile conditions, requiring
fast and sure establishment Advantages of poly-pots & strips:
i) hardy plants, less affected by
high temperature and low moisture
ii) lower irrigation frequency after planting
iii) can remain on-site longer (than bare root slips) before planting, but: after 1 week increased maintenance costs
Disadvantages:
i) poly-pot plants are more bulky, difficult to transport
ii) more costly (labour, space, pots, soil, etc.)
iii) 4-5 weeks longer in nursery (than bare root slips)
iv) if not bio-degradable, pots are environmentally charging
3. Polypots,
netpots

Propagation in Ethiopia
In low rainfall areas the most efficient and cost effective proved the two-stage production process:
multiplication within nurseries in big poly-tube
multiplication for final planting out in the field using smaller tube.
![Page 23: GCC - Vetiver Multiplication](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042423/54e694d54a795943458b4c05/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cost (Ethiopia)
Following
recommendation
for low rain fall
area: 17 Ethiopian
cents / slip
For high rainfall
and mid- & low
altitude areas: 10
Ethiopian cents /
slip.

Net pots
Easy to plant in rainy season
Cheap (India: + 0.005$/pot)
![Page 25: GCC - Vetiver Multiplication](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042423/54e694d54a795943458b4c05/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Advantages:
Easier to transport than polypots
Saves time for planting
You need less soil
(compared to poly-
pots) and plastic
can be re-used
High survival rate
since roots remain
together
4. Strips

ICV45. Micro-propagation
Low cost micro-propagation
procedure developed by College of
Agriculture & Applied Biology,
University of Can Tho. This
procedure uses net-house instead of
the expensive growth chamber.
Produced in net-house conditions
plants were +22% cheaper than
when grown in growth chamber.
