Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Bladderwort Problems

Your options are grass carp or chemical applications. Grass carp will do well on bladderwort. 10-20 per acre, stock a larger carp (12") if you have adult bass. If you don't have flowing water e.g. inflow and constant outflow, a good option is flouridone (Sonar or White Cap brand names). You will need a static volume for at least 30-45 days for this to be effective. Read labels thoroughly and note limitations on irrigation if pond is used for irrigation purposes. If you have frequent or constant inflow/outflow, you're limited to contact herbicides, and you will probably be frustrated with the results.
