Zusammenfassung:The status of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes ) in Nigerian waters was recently reviewed by Akinyemiju. Since then, the publicity created by the nation's press resulted in the government initiating manual and mechanical harvesting for control. However, these efforts have not yielded sufficient success and it is necessary to find other control measures. This paper reports the economic analysis of the different control measures (mechanical, manual, and chemical) that are currently available for control of water hyacinth in Nigerian waters.
