Background: The application of phytoremediation by utilizing plants has been used to control oil pollution in waters. One the that can act as a phytoremediator is hyacinth because this plant reduce various pollutants including petroleum hydrocarbons. This study aims reduction ability hydrocarbons at different concentrations improving water quality. <ns...

The present study reports the in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic potential of Syngonium podophyllum (SP) and Eichhornia crassipes (EC) leaf aqueous extracts as well as their in vivo effect on oxidative stress and hepatic biomarkers in isoniazid induced rats. Phytochemical screening of extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, reducing sugars, alkaloids, and sapon...

Insect biological control agents of weeds may aid infection by plant pathogens by generating wounds or by vectoring. Pathogen infection may lead to plant biochemical changes that alter host suitability for insects. In Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), Neochetina bruchi and N. eichhorniae adult weevils feed mostly on immature leaves, while symptoms of infection by Cercospora piaropi, a fung...
