i am not sure what all type vegetation i am fighting. i know i have fa, something that looks and smells like chara, and pondweed. i have used cutrine liquid and granules. i do ok keeping the fa under control, but the chara is steadily spreading. is the root system of pondweed long and weedy?
i just received diquat. what is a good dilution rate? also, would it be good to add a little cutrine?

i am guessing that i am covering about 5000 sq ft. that is a wild guess. i figure there is about 800ft of shoreline that is affected. maybe 5ft from the edge on average.

The older that the Chara is, the harder it is to control. Your picture looks like a lot of Chara that was pulled from the pond.
I would use the granules to try to control the Chara, but it will be hard because it's getting well advanced. It's easiest to control when it's that bright green color.

Scott Did Kelly give it a real name? I looked up waterthread Pondweed and nothing came up. I have the same stuff all around my 5 acre pond and was wondering what it is. It sure has helped with the BG recruitment this year- first yoy- in 3 years

Potamogeton diversifolius aka waterthread pondweed
and i agree about bg recruitment. I have the largest size range of bg that i have ever seen. my goal is trophy, bg and not bass so I don't want too many bg to survive. looks like my pond is headed for a very balanced fishery at this time.

my pond is almost 3 years old. so far it has extended out from the shoreline 5-10 ft for several hundred ft.
