- Abstract
This article discusses the possible use of aqueous root extracts of Papaveraceae as algicides or cyanocides in the aquatic environment. They found that Macleaya microcarpa was the least toxic to all aquatic organisms tested and Dicranostigma lactucoides and Sanguinaria canadensis featured the highest toxicity. They concluded that Chelidonium majus extract had the best properties as a potential cyanocide or algicide because of its lower toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms and its significant toxicity to phytoplankton.
