related to this a lot of discussion has been taken place.some more points
ubntouched
this plant is cosidered to absorb heavy metals from water, work is going on..
it is seen to absorb nutrients from water hence seen in heavily nutient or
eutrophic waters. it absorbs phosphates, nitrates and some amount of silicates.
hence if controlled harvesting is practiced it can be a good water purifier. it
is also used in root zone technology in clearing water.
in pune can see in OSHOPARK.
its tissue can be used in paper industry.
its flowers are really marvel to look at, in mumbai some people pot it in small
pots when flowering and sell it as ornamental plant.
if regular weeding or harvesting is done it can be used in better way for water
purification.
its seeds fly easily with wind hence spread faster. similarly it grows by
developing stolons hence grows fast like grass.
some beetles are found to eat its leaves and hence were used as biopests to
control the population.
if present with waterlilies it can give good nesting place for aquatic birds.
can provide attachment sufaces to planktons, eggs of snails,aquatic insects,
hiding places for fish youngones.
but the way i said have to have controlled harvesting.
otherwise it createsmenance like in Bharatpur
