Aquatic weed has greater impact on all kind of pollution reduction. Chemical and toxic industries are those which creates heavy pollution load in environment. Globally pesticides are toxic to non-target receptors including humans and reach them through food chain. Most of the pesticides are non-biodegradable due to b their molecular structure with stable internal bonds. Wastewaters from pesticide manufacturing industries originate from cleaning activities after batch operation during the synthesis processes. Wastewaters from agricultural industries and pesticide are big issue for environmentalist. Some methods are suggested in literature but noneconomical or non ecofriendly in that case treatment by low cost method is introduced to treat the pesticides waste water by aquatic weed.
