Bioremediation of Pallas 45® OD herbicide by water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)

ABSTRACT Eichhornia crassipes, a type of water plant, was the subject of a study to determine whether or not bioremediation is effective in enhancing water quality. The plant was grown in ideal conditions and its growth rate, Catalase enzyme, CAT enzyme, and superoxide dismutase enzyme, SOD, were all studied in relation to the insecticide pallas. Physical and chemical characteristics like pH and electrical conductivity EC are also being investigated.The research demonstrated the usefulness of the Eichhornia crassipes plant, Eichhornia crassipes. For the ninth day, the rate of pesticide removal was at an impressive 80%. Both pre- and post-pesticide studies analyzed the plant's physical and chemical characteristics. The results demonstrated the plant's pH values, with the highest value of 7.31 recorded at a concentration of 125 micrograms. /ml, and the electrical conductivity values, with the highest value of 4698.6 (us/sm) recorded at a concentration of 125 micrograms. Catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are two plant enzymes that were investigated. Treatments showed statistically significant (P 0.05) increases in both enzymes compared to the control group.Keywords: Lilipsida, Eichhornia crassipes, Herbicide, Bioremediatio
