Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Identifying plants New Vegetation Invader

I'm looking for some more help folks.

Having beaten the Chara with advice from the Forum, we now have a new invader.

Any help with identification and treatment would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'll guess Curlyleaf Pondweed....

Yep. 10-15 parts per billion Sonar A.S. treatment now before they set turions will work. It really should have been treated a month ago.

FWIW, disregard the product recommendation if you have water flowing into and/or out of the pond.

No matter what plant you eliminate nature demands that some type of plant will grow there as long as nutrients are available. Pond weeds are a lot like a husband or wife, which one can you best live with?

We do have creek water that flows into the 1/4 acre pond and then back into the creek at the other end.

Was planning to expand and renovate this summer but its looking like next year so I am just trying to keep it fishable for the kids.

Thx guys.

I'm with Bill C. Eventually, Ma Nature will put vegetation in your pond. FWIW The approach I'm taking in my pond is to try and establish "good" vegetation before the "bad" vegetation shows up.

Then Sonar will not be a good choice. With that size pond, a weed razor will work on the Curly Leaf Pondweed. It won't regrow from fragments like EWM will.
