Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Extreme milfoil problem

Often it takes more than normal numbers of grass carp to control the milfoil and Chara especially when those weeds are abundant. I would start gradual with lower standard numbers per acre plus some chemical control then add more GC as time passes and weeds are still too common. Don't add too many GC because they eat all plants and will make the water turbid in searching bottom for more food and turbid water stifles production of the desired bloom.
