Selecting A Weed Control Product:

|
1. CLASSIFY THE WEED:
- Emersed - Growing in shallow water with
leaves or stems above the water.
- Submersed - Growing in deeper water
entirely below the surface.
- Floating - Growing unattached or rooted
with floating leaves.
- Algae - Cellular, lower weed form. No
distinguishable stem or leaf. Commonly called moss or scum.
2. DETERMINE SPECIFIC WEEDS
Our Weed Chart can help identify common
aquatic weeds throughout the country. Place your weed in a clear
glass jar with water and compare it to the pictures. Pay careful
attention to the leaves. (It's really not that difficult!)
3. SELECT A PRODUCT:
Our reference table showing
what product(s)
controls what weed(s). Look up your weed(s) to determine
which product(s) to use. Read the product information to confirm
that the product will meet your needs.
4. QUANTITY TO ORDER:
Estimate the area and volume to be
treated. This can be done by pacing the dock or pier and
shoreline, measuring from a land survey, or other means. Once
the area is determined look at the product information for
coverage and cost to determine quantity to order.
