The invention discloses application of dracaena deremensis 'compacta' in treatment of livestock and poultry breeding wastewater, and belongs to the field of wastewater treatment. The characteristics of cold resistance, no leaf falling and no wilting in winter, and adsorption and removal of pollutants such as ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and the like in the livestock and poultry breeding wastewater of the dracaena deremensis 'compacta' are fully utilized, and the dracaena deremensis 'compacta' is directly transplanted in environment polluted by the livestock and poultry breeding wastewater, absorbs the pollutants in the accumulated wastewater so as to purify the livestock and poultry breeding wastewater; an experiment is performed in summer, the treatment effect of the dracaena deremensis 'compacta' on the livestock and poultry breeding wastewater at a high temperature in summer is researched, the water purification effect is ensured and a new plant resource variety for the treatment of the livestock and poultry breeding wastewater is developed simultaneously, new advance and development space is brought to the deep development of treating the pollution of thelivestock and poultry breeding wastewater by using artificial wetland plants, and the dracaena deremensis 'compacta' has remarkable advantages in the aspects of operating cost, operational maintenance, treatment effect, landscape value, environmental value and economic value and the like compared with the conventional plants for purifying the wastewater.
