Raf.

Water hyacinth is a serious pest in some areas where it may choke ponds and water courses. Infestations of water hyacinth block waterways, limiting boat traffic, swimming and fishing. It also prevents sunlight and oxygen from reaching the water column and submerged plants. Its shading and crowding of native aquatic plants dramatically reduces biological diversity in aquatic ecosystems. A chemist, in Kenya has invented ways in which the water hyacinth can be used as the main raw material for making organic fertilisers and animal feeds. Presently, his liquid fertiliser is being used in flower farms (The Nation (Nairobi) March 25, 2004).Courtesy:- Flowers of India- Aquaplant- Top Tropicals- Dave's Garden- ZipCode Zoo- EcoPort - dict.die.net/water hyacinth/Note: Identification or description may not be accurate; it is subject to your review. |
