Abstract: Two out-doors experiments were carried out at Giza station, Agriculture Research Center, Giza during June to August, 1999. The first was to study the response of water hyacinth plants to salinity at different levels (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30 g/L) and the second was to examine the efficacy of acetic acid to control water hyacinth at certain levels (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 % V/V). The main results of 1st experiment indicated that salinity at 10, 20 and 30 g/L completely killed the water hyacinth plants, however, 2 and 5 g/L caused some damage to the plants and the regrowth occurred again. The main finding of the 2nd experiment indicated that acetic acid at 20 and 25 % controlled water hyacinth, however, 5, 10 and 15 % caused partial damage in the leaves and the regrowth occurred again.
