Description Free floating aquatic macrophytes, Lemna minor
and Spirodela polyrhiza, were exposed to graded
concentration of cadmium in a concentration range 1 to10 mg
L-1 for a period of one month to evaluate cadmium
accumulation in the presence of EDTA. The EDTA was added
at the rate of 1, 2 and 3 mg L-1 separately and the experiment
was conducted in triplicate. The water and plant samples were
collected at fortnightly interval for analysis of cadmium. At
higher concentration of cadmium and EDTA, complete
discoloration of plants was observed on the 30th day in the
treatment with L. minor compared to S. polyrhiza. There was
a significant difference in the cadmium uptake by the plants in
the presence of EDTA when compared to the control (P
