Abstract

The tiny aquatic angiospermic plants “duckweeds” have a prominent value. seasonal variations in physico-chemical properties of water and biomass and nutritive value of two duckweed species (L. aequinoctialis and S. polyrhiza) occurring intermixed in a roadside pool at Biratnagar (latitude N 26020’; longitude E 87016’; laltitude 72m, msl), Nepal was observed.
