Abstract

The use of plants on wastewater treatment represents a low cost energy technology, which seems to be a good alternative to conventional systems. Based on this trend, narrowleaf cattail (Typha angustifolia L.) plants on a root zone wastewater treatment were used. Plants submitted to wastewater showed 48.5% of their inflorescenses with deformations like double, triple and quadruple types. No differences on leaf nutrient contents of both deformed and normal inflorescenses were observed. This deformation was attributed to wastewater application, since no deformed plants has been found on natural environments.

KEY-WORDS: Plant tissue analysis; wastewater treatment; root zone.
