Thysanolaena latifolia

Jhadu Gavat is valued for its fast growth and ability to control soil erosion, particularly in hilly regions. Its dense growth helps stabilize soil, preventing landslides and promoting sustainable land use in areas prone to erosion. Additionally, it is traditionally used for making brooms, making it a valuable resource in rural and local economies. The plant also serves as a habitat for small animals and insects, contributing to the local biodiversity. It thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and prefers full sun.
