Abstract.

2-Aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP) retarded the growth of duckweed, Spirodela punctata, and increased its dry mass. The accumulation of starch was observed at all concentrations of AIP at 8 days after treatment. The increase in starch was inversely proportional to the growth. The retarded growth of Spirodela by AIP was not limited only by excessive starch accumulation.

Key Words. Aminophosphonic acids—Growth—Starch—Spirodela
