Abstract
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is considered the most damaging aquatic weed in many countries. Chemical methods are still the primary approach to control, although this directly exposes the natural enemy of water hyacinth (water hyacinth weevil) to herbicides. In addition, spray drift can easily damage non-target plants. In this study, herbicides, natural polymer materials (chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan), sodium alginate and natural oils (citronella oil) were used to prepare novel floating polysaccharide granules as a solution for controlling water hyacinth.
