Abstract: Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides), native to southern India, is a sterile, non-invasive plant that is propagated vegetatively by dividing the sod into smaller pieces. It is used in more than 100 countries for soil and water protection, infrastructure stabilization, pollution control, wastewater treatment, erosion protection, slope stabilization, weather damage prevention, and other environmental applications (through bioengineering and phytoremediation). The possibility of using this grass as a renewable energy source in Serbia is the main focus of the project, which was implemented in the period from 21.04.2021. until 29.12.2023. on test fields in Belgrade and internal landfill PK Drmno. This paper will present the results of the initial trials of growing vetiver grass in the changing climatic conditions of Serbia at locations with less valuable soil quality.
