The canals of Chambal commanded area in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and Bhakra-Nagal in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab have been greatly slowed by the aquatic weeds. Several irrigation and hydroelectric projects in the country like Tungabhadra project in Karnataka, Nagarjuna Sagar project in Andhra Pradesh and Kakki and Idikki reservoirs in Kerala are...

Eutrophication is one of the major threats to shallow lake ecosystems, because it causes large-scale degradation submerged plants. N:P ratio an important indicator estimate nutrient supply water bodies and guide restoration The massive input N P changes structure aquatic communities ecological processes. However, mechanism underlying influence in content a body on growth plants still unclear. I...

Submersed macrophytes have important ecological roles but non-native invasive species may affect biodiversity and water uses. We investigated the native macrophyte Egeria najas Hydrilla verticillata measured their maximum colonization depth its relationship with Secchi disk depth, biomass along gradient preferred depths of occurrence. The Itaipu Reservoir was monitored for seven years, during w...

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have shown that combining the indigenous fungal pathogen, Mycoleptodiscus terrestris (Gerd.) Ostazeski, hereafter referred to as Mt, with low doses of herbicides has excellent potential as an integrated strategy for long-term management of hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) (Netherland and Shearer 1996; Nelson et al. 1998; Shearer and Nels...
