“…As one of the world's most widespread aquatic weeds, water hyacinth has a strong invasive capacity, and it has special adaptations which allow it to grow and spread rapidly in freshwater. It is also known that water hyacinth interferes with agricultural (irrigation) and urban waterways (Kathiresan, 2000). So, the underlying mechanisms for successful invasions of water hyacinth appear to be far more complicated than pollution of waterways.…”

“…Infestations continue to plague fresh water bodies in Tropical Africa [156], India [157] and China [158]. It has taken advantage of most of the nutrient rich systems, becoming highly invasive and damaging [159].…”

“…On the other hand, five arthropod and one pathogen species of control agents have been released in South Africa and satisfactory results have yet to be achieved [206]. Even though biocontrol agents have been released in south of China [158,207], India [157], Mexico [208], the southern USA, and some parts of Australia, control has not been at expected rates [15].…”

“…Being natural plant products, allelochemicals are considered relatively eco-friendly as they are likely to degrade rapidly in the environment. The effectiveness of powders or extracts of allelopathic plants in inhibiting the growth of water hyacinth or killing the weed has been demonstrated (Pandey et al, 1993; Kathiresan, RM RM 2000; Saxena, 2000). …”
