“…Giant Salvinia (Salvinia molesta), one of the world's most invasive aquatic weeds, is a floating, rootless aquatic fern indigenous to the coastal region of southern Brazil (between latitudes 24°S and 32°S) [8,9]. It invades lakes, ponds, oxbows, ditches, slow flowing streams and rivers, backwater swamps, marshes, and rice fields [9].…”

Giant Salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is one of the world's most invasive aquatic weeds. We evaluated the accuracy of airborne multispectral digital video imagery for separating giant salvinia from other aquatic and terrestrial features at a study site located in northeast, Texas. The five-band multispectral digital video imagery was subjected to an unsupervised computer analysis to derive a thematic map of the infested area. User's and producer's accuracies of the giant salvinia class were 74.6% and 87.2%, respectively. Aerial multispectral digital videography has potential as a remote sensing tool for differentiating giant salvinia from other terrestrial and aquatic features.

“…Salvinia molesta D. S. Mitchell, a South American free-floating fern (Forno & Harley, 1979) has become a serious weed in Africa, South-east Asia and the Australian region (Harley & Mitchell, 1981). It is a fast growing plant which has been recorded to double in biomass in 1.36 to 2.67 days in Queensland (Finlayson & Mitchell, 1983) and 8 days on Lake Kariba in Africa (Mitchell, 1981).…”

“…Mitchell (Salviniaceae) is a sterile rhizomatous plant, very suitable for demographic studies because of its free-floating habit which enables non destructive access to 'rhizomes' and 'roots' (Room, 1988). S. molesta also called giant salvinia, is a problematic aquatic weed indigenous to south-eastern Brazil and occurs between latitudes 24 and 32 degrees south (Forno and Harley, 1979, Table 1). This species, which is a free-floating fern, quickly covers and dominates stagnant and slow flowing water systems and can choke waterways.…”

Abstract. The aquatic invasive plant species Eichhornia crassipes and Salvinia molesta originated in the Neotropics (Bolenz et al., 1990;Tipping and Center, 2005). Based on environmental, economic and human problems, E. crassipes and S. molesta are ranked first and second places respectively on a list of the world's most problematic aquatic weeds (Holm et al., 1977;Barrett, 1989). This review paper presents the impacts of these two species on the environment, mainly in aquatic ecosystems of the tropics and subtropics, and also their use in societies and agro-industry with particular reference to their distribution and environmental impacts in ecosystems.
