The aim of study is using the mechanical method (burning method) for controlling water hyacinth and decrease the pollution on aquatic environment. The study included a two factors, influence burning repetition and periods of the burning in the control of water hyacinth weed. The experiment was applied in randomized completed design it was applied in three repeaters. The results showed the no influence on studied traits in the case of an incineration process one time while the increase in the number of times the incineration twice to a negative impact on the studied traits of the water hyacinth plant this effect was more severe in the event of an increase in the replicates of burning to three times, with low in the all studied traits (length of plant, the number of leaves, length of spike, number of flowers and weight wet and dry weight the total vegetation and roots).
