Abstract

The effects of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl suplphate on the aquatic macrophyte Potamogeton crispus L. are studied. Concentrations of 83–133 mg/l caused fragmentation of the stems of plants. The tolerance of the plants to the negative effects of the surfactant was higher in the spring (April) than in the autumn (September).
