Chrysopogon nigritanus
''Chrysopogon nigritanus'', more widely known by the taxonomic synonym ''Vetiveria nigritana'', or the common name black vetivergrass, is a perennial grass species of the Poaceae family and therefore is also a monocotyledon.〔Champagnant ''et al.'' (2007), p. 488.〕 More specifically, ''Vetiveria nigritana'' is a very thick and tall type of grass that is deeply rooted within the ground and is usually used to protect crops and deter soil erosion.〔 ''Vetiveria nigritana'' is also a native species to Africa and is most commonly seen in Nigeria, Northern Africa, Eastern Africa and tropical parts of Southern Africa.〔 In addition, the plant, like other vetiver grasses, has been used in these regions due to its extreme drought tolerance, ability to grow in infertile soil and the fact that it can live under complete submergence.〔Grimshaw (1994), p. 44.〕 In fact, ''Vetiveria nigritana'' can thrive in a very diverse range of environmental and climatic conditions.〔
''Vetiveria nigritana'' is a very beneficial plant within subsistence agriculture, especially in Africa, due to its ability to preserve soils and reduce water runoff, which ultimately is correlated with higher crop yields. In addition, the plant is also beneficial in protecting a farmers stored crop harvests and plants while in the field because the plant can be used as a repellent or a means of destroying pest larvae before they have the ability to affect a farmer’s cash crop. ''Vetiveria nigritana'' also has various cost-effective medical applications for subsistence farmers and can be used as feed to maintain livestock in the absence of other more common feeds.
==Related species==
''Chrysopogon zizaniodes'' is a directly related species of the perennial type grass that has been more widely adopted by farmers, especially in India.〔 However, the two forms of vetiver grass are very similar in their benefits and growing conditions; the largest difference is that ''Chrysopogon zizaniodes'' has been more widely studied and used, especially to create fragrances.〔
