ABSTRACT New county records in South Carolina suggest an expansion of the recorded northern distribution of Mansonia titillans in the USA. New location records of Ma. titillans in Beaufort County, as well as new county records in Berkeley, Clarendon, Colleton, and Georgetown counties are reported. Taxonomic notes are presented that provide 100% identification accuracy. Adult Ma. titillans were collected between August and December 2017 from 8 locations in 5 counties in South Carolina. Distribution records for floating water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes), the aquatic plants normally associated with immature Ma. titillans, are documented in relation to new records of Ma. titillans adults.

The responses of six aquatic environmental weeds (water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) ferny azolla (Azolla pinnata) parrots feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum) and bladderwort (Utricularia giba) and a terrestrial weed (wandering Jew (Tradescantia fluminensis)) to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were evaluated The fungus was applied as a myceliumonbarley formulation to individual containergrown plants Visual scores of lesion development revealed that a watery softrot disease caused by the pathogen developed in the treated water lettuce alligator weed and wandering Jew plants In water lettuce the pathogen resulted in 100 mortality of treated plants 54 days after application Shoot necrosis was 4 (control) and 24 (treated) for wandering Jew and 9 (control) and 17 (treated) for alligator weed at 35 and 52 days after inoculation respectively These results indicate that S sclerotiorum has potential as a mycoherbicide for controlling water lettuce and possibly also alligator weed and wandering Jew

Day By Day

Water shortage is now one of the major issues of the global world. Water scarcity is increasing day by day. The availability of water is decreasing. The need of hour is to treat the wastewater for dealing water crisis and using it for various purposes. This study involves the treatment of domestic wastewater using phytoremediation technique. The two aquatic plants named Eichhornia crassipes (Water hyacinth) and Pistia stratiotes (Water lettuce) were used. The parameters investigated in this research were pH, TDS, Turbidity, EC, TSS and temperature. These parameters were checked at various retention times after every three days interval. The objective of this study was to get higher efficiencies of these two aquatic plants in improving the parameters involved in the research. The adequacy of the treatment parameters was also validated using statistical analysis. It was established by the results at the end of the experiment that maximum efficiencies were achieved by this phytoremediation technique. This concluded that these two aquatic plants treated the wastewater to such an extent that it can be safely disposed in the drains.

Small And Medium Industry

Batik produced by craftsmen is categorized as a small and medium industry. The problem of Batik production is less attention to the environment because the craftsmen lived in the middle of a residential area that has inexperience. One of less attention to the environment is no treatment of wastewater that reaches up to 95 % (61.9 L each cloth). Thus it polluted the river. This research aimed to treat the wastewater of Batik production by using phytoremediation. In this study, phytoremediation was carried out in three tanks in series using Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes which are abundant in Indonesia. The treated wastewater was evaluated for its ammonia and chromium (Cr). The results showed that ammonia reduced 78.36 % by E. crassipes, and 73.13 % P. stratiotes. While E. crassipes reduced Cr by 63.76 % and P. stratiotes by 83.39 %. This research concluded that E. crassipes and P. stratiotes are potential plants to reduce the pollutants in Batik wastewater.
