Book Description
The waterhyacinth weevil 'Neochetina eichhorniae Warner' was introduced into quarantine in Puerto Rico in anticipation of future release of the insect to aid in the control of its host aquatic plant 'Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms'. The insect is being tested for host specificity by subjecting many native plant species to it; these species include many which are of particular ecological or economic significance in Puerto Rico. Although the results are preliminary, this insect species appears to be host specific to waterhyacinth as it proved to be in the continental United States. (Author).

Water Hyacinth
Author: Brij Gopal
Publisher: Elsevier Publishing Company
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
It is almost impossible for an individual to keep pace with the huge bulk of, not always readily accessible, literature on waterhyacinth which has amassed in recent years. This book provides for the first time a comprehensive bibliography of over 2700 references and a critical review of the current knowledge on all aspects of the plant. Important data on all these aspects have been compiled and presented in numerous tables and figures making the book the most important reference work to date on waterhyacinth. Areas requiring the extra attention of researchers are also indicated. In recent years aquatic weeds such as waterhyacinth have received great attention, not only for the magnitude of problems caused by them in the management of water resources, but also for the promise they hold as a new resource for such diverse uses as animal feed, compost, paper, energy (biogas) and above all the control of water pollution (wastewater treatment). Waterhyacinth outclasses all other aquatic weeds in its rate of growth, multiplication and dry matter production, and its potential ability in respect to energy and pollution control.
