The one year old seedlings of Aegiceras corniculatum were treated with synthetic municipal wastewater for a year under simulated tidal condition

namely NW

FW and TW three different concentrations NW had the characteristics similar to conventional municipal wastewater

while FW and TW contained five and ten times of the nutrients and heavy metals found in municipal wastewater respectively

1 5% salinity of artificial seawater as control The inderxes of root lenght

root diameter

stem height

stem diameter

leaves quantities

biomass

fallen leaves

flowering and fruiting of Aegiceras corniculatum plants were examined The results showed that: Treating of synthetic municipal wastenater could stimulat growth of Aegiceras corniculatum plants Those indexes of NW and FW were abviously higher or very obviously higher than that of control And the most indexes of TW were higher or similar to that of control But the TW indexes of root lenght

flowering and fruiting were lower than that of control
