Abstract The growth of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) under nitrate-nitrogen limiting conditions can be explained by the Monod rectangular model. The kinetic constants maximum specific growth rate, half saturation constant and yield coefficient were determined under nitrate-nitrogen limiting conditions in nutrient culture at an air temperature of 25°C. The practical application of these constants for the possible control of water hyacinth through nutrient limitation is illustrated.
