LEMNA MINOR (Duckweed) - Not Available

Lemna minor (Duckweed)

Lemna minor is a small floating leaflet, known as duckweed. Each leaflet is about 2-3 mm in diameter, smooth and bright green on the upper side, while the lower side tends to be reddish-brown. These tiny plants live in dense colonies and form a thick carpet on the surface of the water.

Uses in Phytoremediation: Lemna minor is widely used in phytoremediation systems. Lemna-based systems are patented and represent one of the most effective solutions for:

• Remove heavy metals dissolved in water.
• Counteract excess phosphates.
• Reduce excess ammonium nitrogen.

Thanks to its rapid growth and ability to absorb nutrients and harmful substances, Lemna minor is an ecological and sustainable tool for water treatment and purification.
