I have heard nothing but good about fluridone, other than the price...The key though is keeping it in the water column long enough...
Do you have a way to control overflow on your pond?..
I just sprayed a 1/2 acre pond last Saturday morning with Reward (diquat)mixed with Cutrine plus? Why, because it is what I had on hand... Most of the duckweed has turned white as well as surrounding vegetation dying on banks...
Plan on putting in 8 ounces of fluridone when I get the money from the pond owner...Hopefully in the next week or so...
From reading here or somewhere on the internet the goal with this method is to reduce as much as possible first to allow the Fluridone to attack the recovering plants and stay in the water column longer...
