Abstract
The suitability of water lettuce ( Pistia stratiotes , Linn.) and greater duckweed ( Spirodela polyrrhiza , Trev.) was tested under laboratory conditions in order to evaluate their potential role in the recovery of crude oil polluted water bodies. The Water Soluble Fraction (WSF) of the crude oil was prepared to concentration levels of 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 per cent. The plant number, percentage survival, dry weights and shoot/root ratio of the plants showed a significant decrease (P Keywords : Pistia stratiotes , Spirodela polyrrhiza , suitability, water soluble fraction, crude oil Discovery and Innovation Vol. 19 (2) 2007: pp. 102-107
