This paper reports the influence of metal chelators, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and salicylic acid, and pH on the accumulation of Cr by S. polyrrhiza under the laboratory conditions. This also includes the results of K.D. pond water treatment study by cultured fronds of S. polyrrhiza. In view of the occurrence of metal chelators in natural waters and pH variation the present study would enable to assess the performance of this species under the influence of these factors.
