To investigate the mechanisms of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) control, an efficient Baysian model system is required. Although deterministic models have been used to predict organism control, such models suffer from the inability to account for stochasticity in a system Entomologists and conservationists in related fields have offered multidisciplinary and multi‐institutional computer ...

The paper gives some background information on the production of biogas using agricul(ural Waste. Studies on biogas production with water hyacinth conducted in NIFFR using the floating type biogas digester complete with gas holder and an experimental metal digester with a measuring cylinder as gas collector are highlighted. A proposal for the construction of a dome — type biogas digester at Rof...

Research has been done on simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.) with different pH to produce bioethanol. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process was the integration between saccharification or hydrolysis of cellulose into sugar and fermentation of sugar into ethanol, with utilized microorganism of Trichoderma harzia...

Floral traits that increase self-fertilization are expected to spread unless countered by the effects of inbreeding depression, pollen discounting (reduced outcross pollen success by individuals with increased rates of self-fertilization), or both. Few studies have attempted to measure pollen discounting because to do so requires estimating the male outcrossing success of plants that differ in ...

Introducción. El lirio acuático (Eichhornia crassipes) es una planta hidrófita libre flotante de la familia Pontederiaceae. Es las plantas acuáticas con mejor reproducción y tasa crecimiento, por lo cual se extiende forma tapetes o esteras que constriñen a nativas sumergidas flotantes, disminuye entrada luz en los cuerpos agua el oxígeno disuelto agua. Objetivo. Realizar revisión bibliográfica ...

BACKGROUND Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) solms is an invasive macrophyte causing serious problems to the network of irrigation and drainage canals in the Nile Delta region. The present study aim to evaluate the potential anticancer and antioxidant activities of Eichhornia crassipes crude extract and its pure compounds. METHODS The macrophyte was collected from El-Zomor canal, River Nile (Egypt)...

Infernão Lake, located within the Jataí Ecological Station in Luiz Ant nio Municipal district (São Paulo State, Brazil), is one of the most typical ox-bow lake of the Mogi-Guaçu River, and it presents, as the main feature, its great quantity of aquatic macrophytes, whose intensive development, in the last years practically covered the whole mirror of water. With the purpose to point out the com...

The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential of an aquatic plant, the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) devoid rhizospheric bacteria, to reduce naphthalene (a polyaromatic hydrocarbon) present in wastewater and wetlands. The capability of sterile water hyacinth plants to remove naphthalene from water and wastewater was studied in batch systems. Water hyacinths enhance the r...
