Abstract—Textile effluents have adverse effect on the receiving water courses due to the presence of dyes. Pond systems planted with Lemna minor are recommended as a cheap and effective alternative for dye removal. The aim of this study is to assess the impact dye accumulation on the plant growth rate using image processing technique. The ponds experiment operated under controlled conditions by preparing simulated wastewater. The growth rate of L. minor monitored depending on the relative growth rate, coverage area and colour of the plants using Aletheia Lemna Edition software and Munsell colour chart. Results clearly indicate that the dye basic red 46 treated significantly comparing with other dyes. In addition, the presence of dyes negatively impacted on the plants. Furthermore, the software was able to quantify the growth parameters providing more understanding about the plant in long term treatment system.
