I will read up to see what the effects of copper sulfate, Cutrine Plus and diquat are on the plants you listed. Copper sulfate seems to be pretty selective (FA) but i am not sure about CP and diquat. I don't have much experience with those two but was planning on trying those next year. BM61


I didn't realize your place was in Illinois. This link will lead you to a publication from the Illinois DNR on aquatic vegetation. Page 6 or 7 of the doc actually rates some of the plants with respect to invasiveness and habitat potential.
