Most of the dyes are carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. Plants are potential candidates to remediate textile dye wastewater from contaminated sites. The present study aimed to screen potential plant species for removal of synthetic dye solution of triarylmethane dye Methylene Blue (MB) and diazo dye Congo Red (CR). The six plants selected for screening are Trachyspermum ammi (T. ammi), Tagetes erecta (T. erecta), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (H. rosa- sinensis), Chrysanthemum indicum (C. indicum), Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi (B. fedtschenkoi), and Catharanthus roseus (C. roseus). The phytotreatment of dyes was done up to 40 h for two different concentrations of dyes i.e. 10 and 20 mg L−1. Among screened plant species, the maximum decolorization was obtained from T. ammi followed by B. fedtschenkoi. Both of these plant species showed active growth even after the phytoremediation process. T. ammi decolorized the MB dye 99% (10 mg L−1) and 86% (20 mg L−1) while the decolorization of the CR dye solution was up to 95% (10 mg L−1) and 84% (20 mg L−1). T. ammi found to have maximum potential among screened plants for the removal of MB and CR dye from synthetic dye solution and can be used for phytoremediation of wastewater contaminated with synthetic dyes.
