Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Does FA "die" on dry land?

This is my first year to experience FA on my pond. This spring I got about a 3-4 ft line of it all around the 2 acre pond. Bright green in color but very ugly along the bank. Pond had been at full pool for quite sometime because of all the rains here in East Texas. Now the pond is dropping and has come down near a foot. Most of the FA has been left high and dry on the banks and has turned yellow. My question is...does it actually "die" once it goes dry or does it just go dormant until water comes back over it again? So should I try to "clean it up" while it is on dry land? Probably should know this but first time and just want to keep it controlled.
