6.6.10 Scirpus grossus L. (Giant Bulrush)

S. grossus is an emergent perennial tropical aquatic plant, belonging to the family Poaceae. It is a native of south east Asia and is widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics. It is a potential hyperaccumulator of Pb (Chuah et al. 2006; Tangahu et al. 2013; Marbaniang and Chaturvedi 2014). Tangahu et al. (2010) found a 100% survival of S. grossus up to the Pb concentration of 200 mg L−1 in sand culture study and 66.7% at a concentration of 350 mg Pb L−1 at the end of 7-week lead exposure. This effect increased with the increasing Pb concentration. Tangahu et al. (2013) rated S. grossus as a hyperaccumulator for Pb by carrying out sand culture studies. It can be used for the treatment of domestic wastewater (Jinadasa et al. 2006).
