摘要

The present study deals with the macrophytes of four natural ponds near Barambaba temple in Cachar district of Assam, North-East India and uses. A total of 45 species of macrophytes belonging to 24 families were recorded. Emergent growth forms were most dominant. Their ecosystem services as medicinal (26%), livestock fodder (22%), vegetables (15%), fish food (10%), decoration (9%), religious (7%), herbal (3%), poultry feed (2%), insect repellent (2%), fencing (2%), fuel (1%) and organic farming (1%) have been recorded. The judicious management of rich diversity of macrophytes and their uses can promote sustainable utilization of aquatic plants in this region.
