I have a weed getting started the past few years that I have been unable to kill or ID. I did not find this weed in my copy of "How to ID and Control Water Weeds and Algae". I am hoping a resident weed expert can lend a hand.
This weed is rooted in the pond bottom and pulls out very easily. It typically grows in 3 to 8 feet of water, reaching the surface and the spreading out on the surface of the pond.
I have sprayed it with Nautique and a Nautique/Reward Mix while in the water. As the pond drops during the Summer months and some of the weed is laying on the exposed mud, I have sprayed it with a Glyphosate based product called Touchdown Pro. It does not seem to be affected by these chemicals.
Hope the photos are high enough quality to allow for an ID. I haven't figured out how to add my photos along with my text, so they are attached. Thanks in advance for any help with this weed.
