Abstract: In a wire green house, two experiments were conducted during April and August1999 and 2000 at the Agricultural Research Centre, Giza ; Egypt, to study the effect of ten air drying periods (days) on viability and regrowth of water hyacinth. Results indicated that the plants which were exposed to air drying periods from 1-8 and 1-5 days continuously during April and August can survive, while they died after these periods.
Two irrigation canals were used at Bahteem, Kalubia Governorate , to study the effect of manual removal of water hyacinth plants at regular intervals (weekly) from mid March to the 1st November 1999 and 2000. In both seasons a penetrated barrier was used before water intake in the 1st canal, but the 2nd canal was left without barrier (as control). Results showed that water hyacinth plants disappeared in the 1st canal during the 2nd year, while the plants appeared in the 2nd canal (control) during the 2nd year.
