Abstract:
Typha domingensis Pers. (cattail) is a highly productive plant species that thrives in eutrophic water bodies. Controlled cultures of T. domingensis in the form of green floating filters (GFFs) represent a possibility of combining water improvement with biomass production for biofuels and bio-products. In order to establish GFFs, young cattails are planted on ad-hoc supports -e.g. perforated floating trays- that are placed on water surface. Plant adaptation to floating culture is critical to succeed in GFF establishment, however little is known on this subject. In this work, a comparative growth analysis of floating culture versus soil culture of T.domingensis was carried out for better knowledge of how cattails respond to floating culture.
