Project Description

Seeding and Mulching is a cost-effective way to help stabilize exposed soils and restore areas that have been disturbed during construction activity. Applying seed and fertilizer can be done by broadcasting, sowing, or hydroseeding depending on the site and its characteristics. Once seed and fertilizer has been placed over a prepared seed bed it is very important that it is covered in order to protect the seeds from direct sunlight and other environmental factors. Most commonly seed is covered using agricultural straw mulch that is dispersed over the seed and then anchored into place. Straw mulch applications are typically used on highway, large non-irrigated, and industrial sites. The need of this above to prevent soil erosion occurred near railway, highway sometimes near riverbed. Vetiver plants are the suitable because it is a densely tufted bunch grass which can be easily established in both tropics and temperate regions of the world.
