I lurk on here constantly and I think I know things - then something obvious pops up and I'm not sure of the answer.

Simply , can you use Cutrine Plus to control FA while also fertilizing to produce a bloom for 18 - 24" of visibility? Or, does the Cutrine Plus effectively kill the bloom?

I had assumed they were at cross-purposes, but I read some things today that made me believe that I might be mistaken.

Thanks for the clarification.

Consider this more of a bump than an expert opinion, but I am of the opinion that they are somewhat at cross purposes. It makes sense that the cutrine plus will have a negative effect on the fertilizer.

You can fertilize and still use products like cutrine plus to treat FA. If performing a treatment on the entire lake then you will likely have a negative impact on your fertilization/bloom. Typically you will be spot treating FA and not doing a full lake treatment. Fertilization will cause your FA problem to persist until you can keep it down via shading with fertilization. Its a delicate balance, especially if you have shallow slopes and a high percentage of 18" or less water depth. Hope this helps.

Someone advised me that if you are using Cutrine and also fertilize that you should wait a few days after using Cutrine before fertilizing. WadeB, does that make sense or was I misinformed?

Haven't seen timing to be an issue. Usually if you have FA problems in a fertilized pond, there is either an abundance of shallow water or inconsistent blooms/visibility. Inconsistent blooms can be a product of many variables- weather/sunlight/water temp, water quality, etc. What we see in the southeast is a boom in FA early in the spring prior to bloom green up on some fertilized ponds, a result of phosphorous availability and often iron coupled with water temps FA loves.
